ATLANTA – Tra Barnett became the first Panther to rush for 100 or more yards in three-straight games and Georgia State topped Army 28-21 on Saturday night at Georgia State Stadium.
With rain falling for most of the first half, both teams controlled the ball on the ground, but it Dan Ellington’s three touchdowns and 232 yards through the air on 20-of-28 passing that proved to be the difference. Ellington hit Aubry Payne on an eight-yard touchdown pass with 5:28 to play that proved to be the winning score. It was Payne’s fifth touchdown catch of the year.
