Top Plays in GSU History: Ellington Shocks Rocky Top

THE GAME: Georgia State 38, Tennessee 30, Aug. 31, 2019 at Neyland Stadium, Knoxville, Tenn.

THE PLAY: Holding a five-point lead at Tennessee with five minutes to play, QB Dan Ellington sealed the deal with a spectacular 22-yard touchdown run. He faked a handoff to Tra Barnett but kept the ball and ran left, juking two defenders on his way to the end zone. That put the Panthers up 35-23 with 4:45 left and sent Georgia State to its first-ever win over a Power 5 opponent and one of the most significant wins in program history.
