ATLANTA -- New week, new position ... no problem for Glenn Smith. The versatile athlete for the Georgia State offense can excel as a running back, a receiver and a return specialist on punts and kickoffs.
Smith's varied skills will be on display as Georgia State opens Sun Belt Conference play at Appalachian State Saturday at noon. Watch Glenn and the Panthers on PeachtreeTV in Atlanta or ESPN3, or listen to the Georgia State Radio Network, including 1340 The Fan 3.
Smith's adaptability was evident in his strong performance at No. 9 wisconsin. Normally Georgia State's starting running back, he lined up as a slot receiver while starter Penny Hart was injured, and he covered a career-high 131 yards on five catches, setting up both GSU touchdowns with long receptions.
