A Friday night clash quickly turned ugly for the visiting Panthers as everything was going right for the Memphis Tigers. For the second time this season, Brady White turned in a five touchdown night against a Georgia opponent and Darrell Henderson finished with 233 yards and 2 TDs on 14 (!!) carries.
Georgia State received the kickoff and proceeded to go three-and-out, including a sack of QB Dan Ellington, an omen for how the night would go. Ellington would be under duress all night, checking down on short throws to the tune of a 4.
