Everything changed for Kevin Ellison on Nov. 23. That day, the game clock hit zero in the fourth quarter at the University of Florida’s Ben Hill Griffin Stadium in Gainesville, Fla. Georgia Southern — which was paid $550,000 to play as a 27 1/2-point underdog in its season finale — was still on top for a 26-20 upset over the Gators, securing the rare upset by an FCS program against an FBS force.
