Georgia State did not fall victim to post-bye week rust in its week eight game against Texas State. The Panthers topped the Bobcats 28-16 early Saturday evening for GSU’s third win of the season and second in conference play.
The Panthers saw success in both phases of the offense— they recorded 200+ yards in both passing and rushing for a second consecutive game, the first such streak since early last season— and played a near-perfect bend-don’t-break defensive game.
GSU’s offense was predicated on the ground, as is now expected from head coach Shawn Elliott’s offense. Running backs Tucker Gregg and Jamyest Williams recorded 115 and 7 yards each with Williams reaching the end zone twice.
