The Georgia State Panther football team will face the San Jose State Spartans in the inaugural Cure Bowl in Orlando, Florida on Dec. 19. The Panthers became bowl eligible on Dec. 5 after ending the regular season on a four-game winning streak and handing Georgia Southern its first home loss of the season.
Senior quarterback Nick Arbuckle finished the regular season ranked sixth in the FBS by throwing for 4160 yards. In a presser after the game was announced, Arbuckle said the bowl appearance represents a new direction for the program.
“It’s different starting in January with the idea of trying to turn things around, trying to change things, trying to develop a winning program, because then you’re not working to physically improve yourself, but [you’re working] mentally changing the program,” Arbuckle said.
