Georgia State scored just once last week against N.C. State, when running back Destin Coates scored on a speed-option play from eight yards out on the Panthers' opening drive. It gave them the lead less than three minutes into the game.
However, the advantage wouldn't last. Georgia State ended up losing the game, 41-7, but Panthers head coach Shawn Elliott apparently celebrated his team's lone score with some emphasis.
Elliott told reporters on Wednesday that he tore his right bicep while fist pumping after the play and he will have surgery on his arm next week.
Also, Georgia State HC Shawn Elliott told us he tore his right bicep in an aggressive fist bump after their TD at NC State last week.
