Panther Defense Crowns a Homecoming Win

Injuries are part of the game and every team adopts a “next man up” mentality. The Panthers have been no stranger to the injury bug this season and led to an unexpected change in the starting lineup for Georgia State Homecoming.

Jerome Smith, the redshirt sophomore cornerback who has recorded three interceptions in 2016, missed the homecoming game with an injury to his hand. Junior cornerback B.J. Clay steps in and stepped up in a big way recording two interceptions including a pick six returned for 38 yards.

Sophomore defensive end Marterious Allen created a few defensive fireworks of his own.
