Georgia State (6-4, 5-2) never held a lead during their 31-10 defeat to Appalachian State (7-4, 6-1). Panthers Penny Hart and Bryan Williams led the game with 61 receiving yards and 10 tackles respectively. It was the 323-yard Mountaineer rushing attack which caused problems for Georgia State.
Both teams entered the game with 5-1 Sun Belt records and decent shots of taking home the title. Georgia State is now firmly out of the race to first place. They are standing behind Troy and Appalachian State, each who has only one loss and owns victories over the Panthers.
A modest start
After settling in Mountaineer territory on their first drive, Brandon Wright’s blocked punt was returned at the Georgia State 34-yard line.
