After a difficult game versus Appalachian State where Conner Manning threw four interceptions, completed less than 50 percent of his passes for only 153 yards, the Panther quarterback was angry and looking to flip the script on a 0-4 start to the season.
“I was definitely motivated by my performance last week. I told the team I put that on myself,” Manning said following the game versus Texas State. “I was going to do everything I can this week to prepare myself to get this offense ready to go [for Texas State].”
The Panthers returned to their home field at the Georgia Dome for their second game in Sun Belt conference play against a team they dominated 41-19 a season ago.
