Late Scores Give Georgia State Their First Win of Season

Related Topics: sports season

Two late touchdowns sealed the first win of the season for Georgia State. The Panthers beat Army 31-14 Saturday afternoon despite having a lead as small as three with three minutes left in the game.

After entering the intermission leading 17-0 the Panthers allowed two touchdowns on two drives that brought Army within a field goal. Possession switched a handful of times before GSU QB Darren Grainger slung the ball downfield to a foot race-winning Ja’Cyais Credle for a 57-yard touchdown that brought the lead back to two possessions with 2:59 left.

While difficult given that Army had already used its timeouts by this point, the game was not out of the question… until Cade Ballard threw an interception to Bryquice Brown on the first play after Credle’s touchdown.
