The Panthers played their first season in 2010, joined the Sun Belt Conference in ’13, became a full FBS member in ’14 and made their first postseason game in ’15. They fell to San Jose State in that year’s Cure Bowl.
The program then moved this season into Turner Field, the Atlanta Braves’ former baseball stadium, and converted it into a football venue named Georgia State Stadium.
Georgia State (6-5) will have a chance at its first ever bowl victory Saturday when it faces Western Kentucky (6-6) in the 2017 Cure Bowl. Kickoff from Camping World Stadium is set for 1:30 p.
