RECAP: Georgia State’s Run Game, Defense Seal Rivalry Win

The Georgia State Panthers won a high-scoring rivalry matchup 41-33 Saturday evening against Georgia Southern. This marks three times in a row that the Panthers have beat the Eagles in this rivalry.

“This game means more to us,” Shawn Elliott said postgame. “All that coach speak about every game’s the same, that’s bull crap.”

The Panthers’ second win of the year was fueled by a highly efficient rushing attack and four interceptions thrown by Eagles’ quarterback Kyle Vantrease. The Panthers also recovered a fumble. Georgia State now has 15 turnovers in their last six games.

“We’re just in the right spots at times to take that ball away from them,” Elliott remarked.
