ATLANTA — A 20-play drive put Georgia State in position to score first in statement-making fashion during the opening quarter Saturday, but Andrew Parker Jr. pounced on a second-and-goal fumble caused by fellow linebackers Trevor Moffitt and Donovan Spellman inside the 10-yard line.
By the fourth quarter, the Panthers were still trying to break through with their first points and App State was well on its way to a 42-14 road victory.
The result enabled the Mountaineers (6-4, 4-2 Sun Belt) to clinch bowl eligibility with two games remaining in the regular season and extend their winning streak to three games in advance of next weekend's trip to James Madison with ESPN's College GameDay airing from Harrisonburg, Va.
