It took a full four quarters, but the Georgia State Panthers beat the Arkansas State Red Wolves 28-20 Saturday afternoon in a win that sends the Panthers to a bowl game for the third consecutive year: the first such streak in program history.
Arkansas State started the scoring with a 40-yard first drive field goal after recovering a Georgia State fumble around midfield. The teams then exchanged five punts between each other before an 85-yard drive capped by a Jamyest Williams one-yard touchdown gave the Panthers a 7-3 lead, which they would not relinquish.
That lead was not held without struggle, however.
