Down goes the SEC.

The headlines Sunday morning will be filled with orange-clad fans pressing the panic button. But in the end, it was Georgia State’s grit who won this game.

The Panthers saw an early lead disappear, but Georgia State resolved to win 38-30 thanks in part to a cutting run game. The Panthers compiled 213 rushing yards on the day.

Tra Barnett had 95 yards rushing - 19 of which came on a sprint for the end zone to give Georgia State a 28-23 lead.

Dan Ellington took his lumps last year, but made many big plays with his legs.
