Running back A.J. Turner’s standout performance, which amounted to 207 all-purpose yards and four touchdowns, as well as a late-game stand from the defense led the Herd to a 35-20 win over the Georgia State Panthers on Thursday, Oct.17, at Joan C. Edwards Stadium.
Turner scored three rushing touchdowns, the longest of which came at a crucial point of the game with less than two minutes to play. The Panthers trailed by one as it relied on its defense to get a stop to preserve the hope of a comeback. Turner stifled those thoughts as he broke off an 88-yard run into the end zone.
