History was made on ESPNU Thursday night, as the Georgia State Panthers (4-3, 3-1) secured their first win in the inaugural season at Georgia State Stadium against the South Alabama Jaguars (3-5, 2-2).
The Panthers almost allowed their 21-13 lead slip away from them in the final minutes in the fourth quarter, but the Panthers’ defense prevented what would have been a gut-wrenching loss on national television. Head coach Shawn Elliott was extremely vibrant during his press conference with the media following his team’s victory.
“It’s a great Thursday night here at Georgia State Stadium. First win in this stadium has got to feel good, but we sure do make it interesting, don’t we?
