Early missed PAT costs Georgia State vs Charlotte

Georgia State lost its third game of the season to Charlotte 42-41 Saturday night after a late defensive pass interference call put the 49ers on the Panthers’ 2-yard line and in position to close the game.

After GSU’s Darren Grainger found Jamari Thrash for a 32-yard touchdown pass late in the fourth, it looked like the Panthers were going to win the game. However Charlotte moved 69 yards in under 90 seconds, 14 of those coming on a pass interference call in the end zone, and Chris Reynolds completed his fifth touchdown pass of the game.

Kicker Antonio Zita made the PAT kick to give Charlotte the one-point lead.
