THE SUN BELT CONFERENCE MANTRA “Together We Rise”

exemplifi es what has quickly become America’s most up-and-

coming collegiate athletics conference.

Founded in 1976, the Sun Belt has adapted and evolved in its nearly 40 year existence. The league was originally formed as a home for some of the nation’s premier mid-major basketball teams and it wasn’t until a number of changes and the demand for a higher national profi le that the league began sponsoring football in 2001. Because of this decision to move the league into the group of football playing conferences, the Sun Belt Conference has a permanent seat on the NCAA’s 18-member Board of Directors. As a result, the conference has a crucial voice on some of the most pressing issues in college athletics. With the 2014-15 year marking the debut of the College Football Playoff (CFP), the Sun Belt continues to fi nd itself among the 10 premier college football conferences and the new system is guaranteed universal access based on performance – there are no automatic qualifi ers for the playoff system. Additionally, the CFP will mean that a spot among the premier bowl games of college football will be guaranteed to the highest-ranked champion from the “Group of Five” conferences: the Sun Belt Conference, American Athletic Conference, Mountain West Conference, Mid-American Conference and Conference USA. With the College Football Playoff included with the league’s other bowl arrangements, the Sun Belt Conference is tied to seven total bowl games. The R+L Carriers New Orleans Bowl, the GoDaddy Bowl, the Raycom Media Camellia Bowl, the Cure Bowl (debuting in 2015) all guarantee a home for a bowl eligible Sun Belt Conference team each year. And beginning with the 2016 season, the Sun Belt is also part of a rotation of conferences that will send a team to the Bahamas Bowl and the Miami Beach Bowl. The infl ux of bowl game opportunities comes at a time

when the Sun Belt Conference is breaking win records year after year and the league is continually exceeding expectations. The Sun Belt’s 21 non-conference football wins in the 2013 season was a record for the league - eclipsing the mark of 19 set the year prior. Additionally of note for the league’s non-conference win total was that the Sun Belt fared well against its peer opponents in the non-AQ BCS ranks. The Sun Belt fi nished a combined 8-1 against members of Conference-USA (4-1), the Mid-American Conference (3-0) and the Mountain West Conference (1-0). The Sun Belt also had the best overall non-conference win percentage when comparing the four non-AQ conferences. The 2013 football season also saw two teams take home bowl championship trophies, as UL Lafayette won its third consecutive R+L Carriers New Orleans Bowl and Arkansas State won its second consecutive GoDaddy Bowl. Of course, football wasn’t the only sport that has seen recent success and all of the league’s sports have contributed to the “Rise” of the Sun Belt Conference. In men’s basketball, league newcomer Georgia State put together one of the best conference performances in league

history in winning the 2013-14 Sun Belt regular-season championship. UL Lafayette captured the league’s automatic bid to the NCAA tournament in what was one of the most thrilling fi nishes to the Sun Belt championship game in recent memory. An infl ux of young coaches mixed with proven veterans makes both Sun Belt men’s and women’s basketball an exciting brand with vast potential. The Sun Belt Conference Men’s and Women’s Basketball Championships were played in New Orleans, the hometown of the Sun Belt at Lakefront Arena this past March in what was the fi rst of a three-year deal that will have Sun Belt hoops in the “Big Easy” each March. Baseball and softball continue to be among the league’s standard-bearers for success as each continues to send teams on deep postseason runs and teams are easy to fi nd in the national polls. In baseball, UL Lafayette held a unanimous No. 1 national ranking during the 2014 season and hosted a NCAA regional and super regional. Not to be outdone, the UL Lafayette softball team also hosted the NCAA Tournament rounds and qualifi ed for the 2014 edition of the Women’s College World Series.

In recent years as many as four Sun Belt teams have advanced to the baseball postseason in a single year, while as many as three Sun Belt softball teams have accomplished that feat. While the accomplishments of the Sun Belt’s student-athletes and coaches deserve great praise, so to do the league’s administrators who have helped set the tone for the future of the conference. “We have never been as strong as we are now academically and fi nancially and I believe we are getting stronger all the time athletically,” former Sun Belt Conference President and Troy University Chancellor Dr. Jack Hawkins, Jr. said recently. “I truly believe that the best is yet to come.” The Sun Belt Conference’s membership consists of 11 football members for 2014 – Appalachian State, Arkansas State, Georgia Southern, Georgia State, Idaho, UL Lafayette, UL Monroe, New Mexico State, South Alabama, Texas State and Troy. UALR and UT Arlington compete in all-sports as non-football members while Idaho and New Mexico State are football-only members.

GSU PRESIDENTGSU PRESIDENT

MARK P. BECKERMARK P. BECKER

Under his leadership, the university adopted a comprehensive 10-year strategic plan aimed at making Georgia State one of the nation’s premier urban research universities. With a 10 percent increase in graduation rates in the last fi ve years, Georgia State is achieving its vision of becoming a national model for undergraduate education by demonstrating that students of all backgrounds can succeed at high rates. Th e university has been recognized by the Education Trust for eliminating disparities in graduation rates based on race or ethnicity. Diverse Issues in Higher Education places Georgia State No. 1 in the nation among non-profi t institutions in graduating African-American students and in the top 50 universities for graduating Asian-Americans. Hispanic Outlook in Higher Education magazine lists Georgia State as a top 100 university for graduating Hispanics, making the university one of only two non-Florida universities in the Southeast to attain this achievement. During Becker’s tenure Georgia State has set a series of university records for retention and graduation rates, as well as for the retention of the Georgia Lottery-funded HOPE Scholarship. Th is progress has been achieved as enrollment has grown from about 28,000 to more than 32,000 students, and the number of applications to the university has steadily risen and now exceeds 13,000. Private scholarship funding has increased signifi cantly, and the university has more than doubled the number of students receiving support in the last two years. Research funding is at an all-time high, increasing nearly 15 percent in the last year alone. Federally sponsored research now accounts for 62 percent of the university’s research portfolio, an important barometer of the university’s research success. Th is growth has been aided by the Second Century Initiative, a faculty hiring program that has led to the development of new

interdisciplinary research centers. Seeking to position Georgia State students and researchers to thrive in an increasingly complex and global landscape, Becker has worked with faculty leaders to enhance Georgia State’s international profi le. Th e university is working in fi ve countries in which it is focusing its university-wide eff orts: Brazil, China, South Africa, South Korea and Turkey. Th rough its campus development, Georgia State is a major contributor to the revitalization of downtown Atlanta. Building on the work of former President Carl V. Patton, the university has expanded campus housing and dining, research and academic facilities. Georgia State enhanced its research capacity with the opening of the Parker H. “Pete” Petit Science Center in 2009 and is designing and building a second research building on the same site. Th e university enlarged its instructional capacity with a classroom expansion project completed in 2011. Student housing has almost doubled with the addition of Patton Hall, a Greek townhome complex, and the Piedmont North housing and dining complex. Th e opening of the $10 million football practice facility enabled Georgia State to introduce its football program in fall 2010. Th e purchase of 3.5 acres of land on the eastern edge of the campus has made it possible for the university to have its fi rst intramural recreation fi elds on its downtown campus. Th e Sun Trust tower complex at 25 Park Place houses major units of the College of Arts and Sciences and the expanded university advising center. Th e university has a new front door for visitors with the opening last year of Centennial Hall at 100 Auburn Ave. Th e building houses Georgia State’s Welcome Center, university administration and the recently established Honors College. A new Law School building is nearing completion, and the university has acquired 55 Park Place, a high-rise building that will be the new home of the Robinson

College of Business and the Andrew Young School of Policy Studies. Assuring that Georgia State is appropriately partnered in Atlanta and beyond, Becker serves on multiple civic, community and professional boards. Becker and his wife, Laura Voisinet, are signifi cant contributors to the university. Th ey are focusing their philanthropy primarily on scholarships for students but also support the university’s Library, the Rialto Center for the Arts and Georgia State’s Women’s Philanthropy Initiative. Prior to his appointment as president of Georgia State, Becker was executive vice president for academic aff airs and provost at the University of South Carolina. Before assuming that role, Becker spent three years at the University of Minnesota as a biostatistics professor, dean of the School of Public Health and assistant vice president of Public Health, Preparedness and Emergency Response. From 1989 to 2000, Becker was a professor and associate dean for academic aff airs at the University of Michigan’s School of Public Health. He also has held academic appointments at the University of Washington, the University of Florida and Cornell University. Becker earned his bachelor’s degree in mathematics from Towson State University in 1980, and his doctor’s degree in statistics from the Pennsylvania State University in 1985. He is a Fellow of the American Statistical Association, and the American Association for the Advancement of Science. Towson State and Penn State have recognized him with distinguished alumnus awards. Becker grew up in Havre de Grace, Md., near Baltimore. He and his wife have two adult children, Matthew and Julia.

SINCE BEGINNING HIS TENURE as Georgia State University’s seventh

president in January 2009, President Mark P. Becker has led the institution

through a dynamic period of major growth and advancement.

SEASON PREVIEW

POUNDING THE ROCK. That is the mantra of the Georgia

State football program as the Panthers enter their second

season under head coach Trent Miles and their second year in

the Football Bowl Subdivision (FBS) and Sun Belt Conference.

Air Force in addition to navigating the Sun Belt, in which every 2013 opponent was bowl eligible.

QUARTERBACKS

Th e quarterback slot should feature the most interesting position battle of the preseason. Last year’s starter, Ronnie Bell, returns but he was edged in the spring by junior college transfer Nick Arbuckle. Th e competition will continue in fall camp, when talented freshman Emiere Scaife, a 6-2, 218-pounder from Charlotte, N.C., also joins the fray.

POSITION-BY-POSITIONPOSITION-BY-POSITIONLOOK AT THE PANTHERSLOOK AT THE PANTHERS

Miles, who executed a remarkable turnaround in fi ve seasons at Indiana State before coming taking over the Panthers, looks to build a winning foundation for GSU’s young program, which has only been playing football at any level since 2010. To so do, Miles and his staff will rely heavily on new faces and young talent aft er graduating 27 seniors, including All-America wide receiver Albert Wilson, a free agent signee with the Kansas City Chiefs, and off ensive tackle Ulrick John, who was draft ed by the Indianapolis Colts.

Th e Panthers return 34 letterwinners, led by junior linebacker Joseph Peterson, an honorable mention all-conference selection in 2013 and GSU’s leading tackler the last two years. Th e defense also features young standouts such as defensive end Shawayne Lawrence and outside linebacker Mackendy Cheridor, both sophomores, while the top returnee on off ense is sophomore wide receiver Robert Davis. Senior punter Matt Hubbard is an all-star candidate. Th e 2014 schedule is challenging, to say the least, as Georgia State makes trips to Washington and Clemson and hosts


SEASON PREVIEWSEASON PREVIEW

Bell, a 5-11, 180-pound junior, set GSU season records with 2,573 yards passing and 2,686 yards of total off ense and tossed 15 touchdown passes in 2013, but he completed just 50 percent of his passes and had 11 interceptions. Arbuckle passed for nearly 7,000 yards and 73 touchdowns in two seasons at Pierce (Calif.) College. Th e 6-1, 230-pound Californian enrolled at Georgia State last January and immediately demonstrated leadership on the off ense. Also returning are junior Ben McLane and sophomore Clay Chastain. McLane, a 6-1, 210-pounder, started nine games in 2012 and passed for 1,592 yards and 10 touchdowns but threw 11 interceptions. Chastain, who stands 6-4 and 215 pounds, took a redshirt year in 2013 aft er transferring from Georgia Military College.

RUNNING BACKS

Th e Panthers are likely to use several ball carriers, including returnees Kyler Neal, Jonathan Jean-Bart, Gerald Howse and Duvall Smith, along with true freshman Krysten Hammon. Neal, a sophomore, saw some action as a true freshman, carrying 24 times for 96 yards and then showed good progress in the spring. Jean-Bart, another sophomore, is the top returning rusher with 269 yards and one touchdown on 71 attempts. Howse and Smith, both seniors, had limited duty last fall. Hammon is a promising rookie who rushed for nearly 2,000 yards as a senior at Dickinson High School in Houston, Texas.

WIDE RECEIVERS

Th e wide receiver position is one of several areas that were decimated by graduation. Th e most glaring absence is the loss of All-American Albert Wilson, who owns every Georgia State record for receiving, returns and all-purpose yardage, including 71 catches for 1,117 yards and eight touchdowns and 2,238 all-purpose yards last fall. But in addition to Wilson, the

Panthers also graduated the school’s second-leading receiver in Danny Williams, as well as three other receivers. Th e position still does feature one of Georgia State’s top returnees in sophomore Robert Davis. Th e 6-3, 198-pounder from Warner Robins, Ga., should contend for all-conference honors this fall aft er a strong freshman season in which he was the team’s second-leading receiver with 44 catches for 711 yards and four touchdowns. He was the only freshman to rank among the Sun Belt top 10 in receiving yards and receptions, and just four freshmen in the nation averaged more receiving yards per game Senior Lynquez Blair has seen limited action in his fi rst three years, but he was one of the Panthers’ most improved players in the spring and looks to step into a more prominent role in his fi nal season. He has 16 catches for 145 yards over the last two seasons. Two wide receivers are expected to contribute aft er coming off season-

ending knee injuries in 2013. Junior Nathaniel Minor, who caught seven passes for 59 yards in 2012, will be ready for the start of fall camp, while junior transfer Donovan Harden should be available early in the season. Harden played two seasons at Illinois State, where he had 46 receptions for 617 yards and six touchdowns in 2012. Junior Avery Sweeting is a potential deep threat with very good speed. Th e Panthers will also look to their 2014 signing class for contributions at wide receiver from freshmen Tevish Clark, Maaseiah Francis and Glenn Smith and junior college transfer Michael Harrison.

TIGHT ENDS

An impact newcomer for the Panthers could earn the starting berth here in 6-4, 230-pound junior Joel Ruiz, who set out the 2013 season aft er transferring from Presbyterian.

Linebacker has been Georgia State’s

leading tackler the last two seasons.

Ruiz teams with returning starter Keith Rucker, a 6-3, 235-pound sophomore, to give the Panthers a solid tandem at tight end. Rucker was GSU’s fi ft h-leading receiver as a true freshman with 14 catches for 232 yards, including a career-high 121 yards against UL Lafayette. Another promising tight end is redshirt freshman Bill Teknipp, who returns from a season-ending knee injury he sustained aft er playing in the fi rst three games of 2013.

OFFENSIVE LINE

Th e Panthers will feature a rebuilt off ensive line aft er graduating three starters, including Indianapolis Colts draft pick Ulrick John. Th e top returnee is versatile senior A.J. Kaplan, who is slated at left guard aft er starting at every position on the line except center last fall. Th e 6-4, 270-pound Kaplan is joined by three talented junior college transfers to form the core of the off ensive line. Th e

DEFENSIVE LINE

Georgia State’s defensive line is fi lled with young talent, led by sophomore defensive end Shawayne Lawrence. Lawrence, 6-4 and 270 pounds, started at 11 games at defensive end with 25 tackles and 3.5 tackles for loss despite being the youngest player on the team; he did not turn 18 until the fi nal week of the season. He will line up alongside another Lawrence, 6-1, 280-pound sophomore noseguard Jalen, who played in every game and made one start as a true freshman. Junior David Huey, 6-2 and 290 pounds, backs up at noseguard. Sophomore ends Tevin Jones, 6-4 and 270 pounds, and Carnell Hopson, 6-2 and 260 pounds, were also thrown into the fi re as true freshmen and will benefi t from the year of experience. Redshirt freshmen Will Cunningham, 6-1 and 270 yards, and sophomore Tanner Strickland, 6-3 and 270 pounds, should also see action.

LINEBACKERS

Th e linebacker corps features the veteran duo of Joseph Peterson and Sean Jeppesen on the inside, and budding standout Mackendy Cheridor on the outside. Peterson, a 6-0, 220-pound junior, is the Panthers’ top returnee aft er earning honorable mention All-Sun Belt honors last fall, when he set the GSU season record with 103 tackles. He was also the Panthers’ top tackler as a true freshman, giving him 168 career hits. Jeppesen, a 6-0, 230-pound senior, is a former starting fullback who moved to linebacker for the fi nal three games of last season. Aft er playing both ways for those three games, he moved to defense full-time in the spring and takes over as the “mike” linebacker. Backups at inside linebacker include sophomores Jameel Spencer and Kight Dallas, who gained experience as true freshmen last fall, and redshirt freshman Trey Payne. True freshmen Michael Shaw and Malik Ricks could also make an impact. At outside linebacker, the 6-5, 250-pound Cheridor was a force as a

Secondary prospects in the freshman class also include cornerback Jerome Smith and safety Ronald Peterkin.

SPECIALISTS

Georgia State returns a pair of experienced kickers in senior punter Matt Hubbard and junior place-kicker Wil Lutz. Hubbard is an all-conference candidate with a career average of 42.3 yards per punt, including a 42.0-yard norm last season. He previously earned second-team all-league honors in the Colonial Athletic Association as a sophomore, and he received third-team mention from College Sports Madness last fall. Lutz is a two-year starter who made eight of 12 fi eld goals last fall, highlighted by his school-record 53-yarder at top-ranked Alabama. Freshman place-kicker Evan Pantels adds depth. At long snapper, sohomore Justin Forrister is expected to take over for four-year starter Scotty McQueen, but former off ensive lineman Daniel Zeigler will now concentrate on long-snapping.

true freshman last fall, when he moved into the starting lineup midway through the season and fi nished with 34 tackles and 7.5 tackles for loss. Behind Cheridor are junior Melvin King and freshman Niemus Bryant. At the other outside linebacker spot, junior college transfer Sheldon Wynn will have an opportunity to earn a starting berth, along with senior Jarrell Robinson, who has career totals of 96 tackles, 12 tackles for loss and two interceptions. Senior Spencer Haywood adds depth.

DEFENSIVE BACKS

Th e secondary position was hard-hit by graduation, losing four cornerbacks and three safeties, so this group will feature many new faces, along with one familiar face in a new place. Junior Tarris Batiste was the Panthers’ second-leading tackler a year ago while playing outside linebacker, but he worked at safety in the spring to lend a veteran presence to an otherwise inexperienced secondary. Batiste made 77 tackles in 2013, including a team-high 9.5 tackles for loss. Along with Batiste, the Panthers will look to junior college safety Nate Simon. Another junior college transfer, Sheldon Wynn, will get a look at Batiste’s former outside linebacker spot but could also be an option at safety. Other candidates at safety include a trio of sophomores in Bryan Williams, who missed the 2013 season with a back injury; Trent Hill, who made nine tackles in seven games; and LaDarion Young, who collected 22 tackles. Newcomers will feature prominently at cornerback with 2014 signee Marcus Caff ey, a transfer from Iowa Western C.C. who originally signed with Kentucky out of high school, and Bruce Dukes, a transfer from UCF, looking to earn starting berths. Sophomores Myles Morris and Robert Dowling gained experience in 2013, and freshmen B.J. Clay, who enrolled in January, Antreal Allen and Chandon Sullivan should also be in the mix.

HEAD COACH

MILESTRENTTRENT

A PROVEN PROGRAM-BUILDER, Trent Miles was introduced as

Georgia State’s second head football coach on Dec. 3, 2012 and charged

with the task of building the fl edgling program as it jumped to the

Football Bowl Subdivision (FBS) and the Sun Belt Conference.

program into one that competes for championships on the fi eld and in the classroom,” Miles said upon his hiring. “We will strive to represent our student body, alumni and the state of Georgia with character and integrity.”

Despite playing at the FBS level for the fi rst time with an undermanned roster, Miles’ fi rst Georgia State team showed progress throughout the 2013 season. Taking Miles’ mantra of “Pounding the Rock” to heart, the Panthers earned respect for their hard-nosed play and competitiveness throughout a challenging season.

Under Miles’ tutelage, wide receiver and return specialist Albert Wilson earned all-conference and All-America recognition with a record-setting season in 2013. Following the season, Wilson became the fi rst Georgia State player to earn an invitation to the prestigious National Football League Scouting Combine and signed a free agent contract

with the Kansas City Chiefs. Miles also helped develop Ulrick John into an NFL prospect as the off ensive tackle was draft ed in the seventh round by the Indianapolis Colts, becoming the second draft pick in Georgia State’s brief history.

Miles’ emphasis on the total development of his student-athletes was in evidence as the Panthers earned the Sun Belt Conference’s team academic award as the football program with highest grade point average in the league.

Miles’ fi rst head-coaching job was at his alma mater, Indiana State, where he took over a struggling program that had won just one game in the three seasons before his arrival in 2008. But it took just three years for him to produce a winning season, the fi rst of three straight winning campaigns for Miles in Terre Haute.

Aft er leading his 2010 Sycamores to a 6-5 mark for the school’s fi rst winning record since 1996, Miles was recognized as Missouri Valley Football Conference

head coachhead coach

Miles, a former assistant coach at Stanford, Notre Dame and Washington, demonstrated the ability to build a winning program in fi ve seasons as the head coach at Indiana State. Th e remarkable rebuilding job he did there earned notice, and Georgia State President Mark P. Becker and then-Director of Athletics Cheryl L. Levick jumped at the chance to bring Miles to Atlanta following the retirement of Bill Curry, the program’s head coach from its inception in 2008.

Taking over a Georgia State program that had been playing for just three seasons, Miles immediately began to lay the foundation to enable the Panthers to compete at the highest level of college football. Miles and his staff are building the program through recruiting, player development and the establishment of a winning culture, all within the framework of a strong family atmosphere.

“We are committed to building this

Coach of the Year. He was named a fi nalist for the Eddie Robinson National Coach of the Year Award and the Liberty Mutual Coach of the Year honor.

Miles guided ISU to another winning season in 2011 and then a 7-4 record in 2012, including a 5-3 mark in the MVFC. No Sycamore team had won more games since the 1984 squad on which Miles played, and the school’s run of three straight winning seasons under Miles was the longest in Terre Haute since ISU had six straight from 1964-69.

Following the 2012 season, Miles was honored as the American Football Coaches Association Region Four Coach of the Year, earning that distinction for the second time in three seasons.

Under Miles’ direction, ISU rose as high as No. 14 in the national polls and up to No. 5 in the GridIron Power Index in 2012. Th e No. 14 national ranking in Th e Sports Network Top 25 was the Sycamores’ highest since joining the MVFC in 1987 as well as the highest in the Trent Miles era.

Th e highlight of the 2012 season was the Sycamores’ 17-14 road victory at No. 1-ranked North Dakota State, the

defending FCS champion.In his last two seasons at Indiana

State, Miles coached one of the top players in the FCS ranks in running back Shakir Bell. A fi rst-team All-American as a sophomore in 2011, Bell led the nation in rushing with 151.8 yards per game and tied for second in voting for the Walter Payton Award as the top player in the FCS. Bell was one of two fi rst-team All-Americans who Miles coached in 2011 as defensive end Ben Obaseki was also named to the Associated Press fi rst team. Th ey were the fi rst two AP fi rst-team All-Americans in school history.

In 2012, Bell ranked sixth nationally in rushing (134.1 ypg) and again earned All-America accolades from AP (third team) and Th e Sports Network (second team). Cornerback Johnny Towalid was also recognized as an All-American by AP (second team) and Th e Sports Network (third team).

Indiana State led the MVFC in the number of all-conference selections in both 2011 (13) and 2012 (14).

Miles achieved success in 2010 with a prolifi c off ense that ranked in the top 15 nationally in scoring with 31.2 points per

game, while his 2012 squad was built on a defense that fi nished third in the nation in points allowed (14.3 pg) and fi ft h in total defense (296.4 ypg).

Among the many notable accomplishments by Indiana State under Miles in his last three seasons was the Sycamores’ 44-16 victory over Western Kentucky in 2011, the program’s fi rst win over an FBS opponent since 2001. Th at 2011 Sycamore squad spent eight weeks in the national FCS polls, climbing to No. 16 in the nation.

Th roughout his career, Miles has coached on both sides of the ball and possesses more than 20 years of college coaching experience as well as one year as a National Football League assistant with the Green Bay Packers. As an off ensive assistant for the Packers in 2000, Miles worked with wide receivers and quality control. He coached NFL All-Pro receiver Antonio Freeman.

In the seven years following at Stanford (wide receivers, 2001), Notre Dame (wide receivers, 2002-04) and Washington (running backs, 2005-07), Miles also coached and developed many talented skill players. Among his pupils

FOOTBALL STAFFFOOTBALL STAFF

Harold Etheridge, a veteran coach with more than two decades of experience, enters his second

season at Georgia State aft er joining Trent Miles’ coaching staff in 2013 as the off ensive line coach and assistant head coach. Etheridge previously worked with Miles for three seasons at Indiana State (2010-12), helping the Sycamores post three consecutive winning seasons for the fi rst time since the 1960s. In his fi rst season at Georgia State, Etheridge helped develop off ensive tackle Ulrick John into a National Football League prospect. John was selected in the seventh round of the 2014 NFL Draft by the Indianapolis Colts. At Indiana State, Etheridge served as Miles’ off ensive coordinator the last two years at Indiana State and his off ensive line coach for three seasons. In two years as the Sycamores’ off ensive coordinator, Etheridge produced one of the nation’s top rushers in running back Shakir Bell. A fi rst-team All-American as a sophomore in 2011, Bell led the nation in rushing with 151.8 yards per game and

tied for second in voting for the Walter Payton Award as the top player in the FCS. In 2012, Bell ranked sixth nationally in rushing (134.1 ypg) while earning second-team All-America honors.

He then moved to the Atlanta Falcons, where he served as tight ends in coach in 2004, helping Atlanta reach the NFC Championship game, and then off ensive line coach in 2005. During that time, the Falcons featured one of the NFL’s most successful rushing off enses, leading the league in both rushing yards per game and rushing yards per carry those two years. In 2005, Jagodzinski’s line blocked for Pro Bowl running back Warrick Dunn, who gained over 1,400 yards. Jagodzinski returned to the Packers as off ensive coordinator for one season (2006) before taking over as head coach at Boston College.

SAMFORD 31, GEORGIA STATE 21Game 1: Aug. 30, 2013 • 7 p.m. (ESPN3)

Georgia Dome • Atlanta, Ga.

Quarterback Ronnie Bell threw for 391 yards and three touchdowns but Georgia State dropped its inaugural game in the Football Bowl Subdivision as Samford rallied with 24 straight second-half points for a 31-21 victory in the Georgia Dome. Senior receiver Kelton Hill caught a pair of fi rst-half touchdown passes from Bell as the Panthers built a 14-7 lead going into halftime. Hill’s touchdowns made him the fi rst in GSU history to have a career TD by passing, rushing and receiving. The Bulldogs then scored three touchdowns in the span of eight minutes in the third and fourth quarters to open a lead late in the ballgame. Senior Albert Wilson caught eight passes for 167 yards, including a 40-yard touchdown catch in the fourth quarter. That eff ort is the second-most receiving yards in a single game for a Panther receiver, behind Wilson’s own 175-yard outing against South Alabama in 2011. Not only was the game the Panthers’ fi rst in the FBS, but it was also the opening game under the direction of head coach Trent Miles. “It was a tough start, but I am very proud of our young men,” Miles said. “They competed and we’ve got to teach them how to win. They responded well and didn’t hang their heads. When something went wrong they kept fi ghting back.” Samford running back Fabian Truss rushed for 78 yards and a fourth-quarter touchdown. Truss also returned the game’s opening kickoff 100 yards for the fi rst score of the contest. The return marked the fi rst time the Panthers have allowed a kickoff return for a touchdown in program history. Bell completed 28 of 51 passes, but also had two costly interceptions. One of those was returned for a touchdown by Samford cornerback Jaquiski Tartt, proving to be the turning point of the game and momentum shift. Tartt’s touchdown tied the game at 14-14 heading into the fourth quarter. Samford then went on a 10-play, 62-yard drive, capped by Truss’ one-yard scoring run, to take the lead for good with 11:21 to play at 21-14. GSU outgained Samford in total yards 463-298 and ran 76 plays to 67 by Samford. After the Panthers fell behind 7-0, Bell guided GSU on a seven-play, 73-yard drive, hitting Hill for a 21-yard touchdown to even the score with 7:17 to play in the fi rst quarter. Bell and Hill hooked up again in the second quarter, this time for a 17-yard scoring play to cap an 87-yard drive and put the Panthers ahead 14-7 with 12:48 left in the fi rst half. One of the highlights for the Georgia State defense was a goal-line stand on which the Panthers stopped Samford three times inside the 1-yard line. On third-and-goal at the 1, Terrance Woodard stopped Truss for no gain, and then on fourth down, Truss again gained nothing and the Panthers celebrated, but GSU was fl agged for being off sides. This time, Tarris Batiste tackled Summerlin for a 3-yard loss to give possession back to the Panthers.

CHATTANOOGA 42, GEORGIA STATE 14Game 2: Sept. 7, 2013 • 2 p.m. (ESPN3)


Chattanooga collected 401 yards rushing on the way to a 42-14 victory over Georgia State at the Georgia Dome. Georgia State wide receiver Albert Wilson had seven catches for 132 yards and two touchdowns, his second straight 100-yard eff ort and the eighth of his career. In the fourth quarter, Georgia State inserted quarterback Ben McLane, who led the Panther off ense to consecutive scoring drives in less than a minute and a half.

McLane connected with Wilson for touchdowns of fi ve and 30 yards to cap both drives. McLane replaced starting QB Ronnie Bell, who completed 9-of-22 pass attempts during the fi rst three quarters but was frequently pressured. McLane was 7-of-12 and fi nished with 164 yards. “Ronnie got beat up,” head coach Trent Miles said. “He was running for his life. They manhandled us up front. They got pressure on our quarterback, and we weren’t able to run the football.” Freshman wide receiver Robert Davis added four catches for 100 yards, giving the Panthers two 100-yard receivers in the same game for just the second time in school history. Panther punter Matt Hubbard booted seven punts for 304 yards, or an average of 43.3 yards per kick. Chattanooga dominated during the fi rst three quarters, rushing for 317 yards while holding the Panthers to only 18 yards on the ground, en route to a 42-0 lead heading into the fi nal quarter of play. The visiting Mocs took the opening kickoff and marched 70 yards for a touchdown and a quick 7-0 lead, capped by a two-yard run by RB Keon Williams. Williams racked up a personal-best 126 yards on 20 carries. On its second possession, Chattanooga faked a fi eld goal, resulting in a 27-yard touchdown pass to tight end Faysal Shafaat. Shafaat caught another touchdown pass in the second quarter to establish a 21-0 score by halftime. During the third quarter, Mocs QB Jacob Huesman scrambled for a pair of touchdowns of nine and 26 yards. Huesman totaled 86 yards on 12 rushing attempts. Chattanooga added another score on the ground at the start of the fourth quarter.

WEST VIRGINIA 41, GEORGIA STATE 7Game 3: Sept. 14, 2013 • Noon (ROOT)

Milan Puskar Stadium • Morgantown, W.Va.

Georgia State fell at West Virginia 41-7 at Milan Puskar Stadium. The Panthers (0-3) trailed just 10-0 late in the second quarter and 17-7 late in the third before West Virginia (2-1) pulled away. Travis Evans rushed for a career high 118 yards for the Panthers, including a 65-yard touchdown run. Evans’ scoring play is the longest run in Georgia State’s brief history and the Panthers’ fourth-longest play from scrimmage. West Virginia’s Charles Sims rushed for 116 yards, including a 32-yard touchdown run on the fi rst play of the fourth quarter to put the Mountaineers ahead 27-7. Making his fi rst start, redshirt freshman quarterback Ford Childress passed for 359 yards and three scores, completing 25-of-41 passes. Trailing 17-0 at the half, Georgia State held the Mountaineers on the opening possession of the third quarter as Jarrell Robinson sacked Childress for a 10-yard loss on fourth-and-3, giving the Panthers the ball at their own 35-yard line. On the fi rst play, Evans ran around the left side and broke loose down the sideline for the touchdown. That pulled GSU within 17-7 with 11:33 to play in the third quarter. “Obviously it was blocked well, and Travis did a great job and, we’re happy with that,” GSU head coach Trent Miles said. “We need more of those, and we have to be able to fi nd consistent drives.” Georgia State then forced West Virginia punt and regained possession at their own 16. But three plays netted just three yards, and the Panthers had to punt. After the Mountaineers drove to a fi rst down at the GSU 11, the Panther defense stiff ened, and WVU settled for a 23-yard fi eld goal by Josh Lambert and a 20-7 lead with 4:31 left in the third. But the GSU off ense was unable to sustain a drive after that, and the Mountaineers tacked on three fourth-quarter touchdowns, the last one coming with just 12 seconds left.

“I thought our kids battled, but that should be a given. Obviously we’re very disappointed with the result,” Miles said. “I’m not going to sit here and tell you that we’re happy with the way that we competed because that should be a given in the program. We executed poorly in certain situations, which allowed the game to get a little out of hand.”

JACKSONVILLE ST. 32, GEORGIA STATE 26Game 4: Sept. 21, 2013 • 2 p.m. (ESPN3)


Despite mounting a fourth-quarter rally to tie the game and force overtime, Georgia State (0-4) fell to Jacksonville State (4-0) 32-26 in a back-and-forth contest at the Georgia Dome.

Trailing 23-9 to start the fourth quarter, the Panthers strung together two touchdowns in less than two minutes to tie the score. Both teams then traded fi eld goals before regulation expired with the score knotted at 26-26. After GSU missed a 42-yard fi eld goal on the opening possession of overtime, the Gamecocks drove down the short fi eld for the touchdown and the victory. The 25-yard drive was capped by DaMarcus James’ third rushing score of the afternoon. “With the exception of just a few plays in the game, we gave ourselves a chance to win that game at the end,” GSU head coach Trent Miles said. “And I felt so bad for our young men because it didn’t happen. And they’re devastated, but at the same time they’re committed to understanding what it takes and continue to keep working and pounding that rock every day until it breaks. And we almost got it done. “My hats off to Jacksonville State and their program. They deserved the victory.” Facing a 14-point defi cit entering the fi nal quarter, Georgia State got a boost in momentum when cornerback C.J. Scott blocked a Jacksonville State punt and recovered the ball in the end zone for a touchdown. On the ensuing kickoff , the Panthers’ Dontavis Crocker recovered a fumble, giving GSU the ball at the 13-yard line. Quarterback Ronnie Bell fi nished the drive by connecting with Robert Davis for his second passing touchdown of the day. With 2:58 left on the clock, Jacksonville State booted a 34-yard fi eld goal to regain a three-point edge. But the Panthers used those remaining minutes to drive down and allow Wil Lutz to kick a last-second, game-tying fi eld goal to force overtime. Bell converted on fourth-and-3 with a 17-yard run and added a 12-yard run for a fi rst down. Lutz fi nished the game 2-for-4 in fi eld goal attempts. After converting the Panthers’ fi rst fi eld goal of the year on a 39-yard try in the fi rst quarter, Lutz barely missed a 50-yard fi eld goal when the ball just glanced off the right upright. On the fi rst play of the game, Bell hit senior receiver Albert Wilson in stride for a 75-yard touchdown. Wilson fi nished the game with 158 yards on seven catches and the one score. Wilson also had 97 yards on kickoff returns, 15 yards rushing and 10 yards on punt returns for 280 all-purpose yards. That play now stands as the fourth-longest play in Panther football history, all of which have involved Wilson. It is also the 12th play of his career covering 50 yards or more. James supplied a pair of fi rst-half 1-yard touchdown rushes for Jacksonville State to help the Gamecocks build a 20-9 halftime advantage. The Gamecocks benefi ted from a pair of Panther turnovers, which were both turned into touchdowns. That included an interception by Bell with less than a minute to play in the half. That set up a 41-yard scoring drive for Jacksonville State capped off by a 5-yard scramble into the endzone by QB Eli Jenkins. The teams combined for 861 yards with JSU gaining 461 and host GSU 400 yards. The Panthers ran for a season-best 150 yards with Bell scrambling for 79 of those from the pocket. The game was the sixth overtime contest in



Georgia State football history. The Panthers hold a 2-4 record in those games, including a pair of losses to Jacksonville State. The two teams’ fi rst meeting in 2010 also ended in overtime. Matt Hubbard tied his own school record with an 80-yard punt during the fourth quarter. Hubbard fi nished with four punts for 183 yards, an average of 45.8 yards per kick.

ALABAMA 45, GEORGIA STATE 3Game 5: Oct. 5, 2013 • 12:21 p.m. (SEC TV)

Bryant-Denny Stadium • Tuscaloosa, Ala.

Georgia State fell at No. 1 Alabama 45-3 at Bryant-Denny Stadium. Alabama (5-0) looked every bit the nation’s top team and defending BCS national champions, led by quarterback A.J. McCarron, who completed 15-of-16 passes for 166 yards and four touchdowns in less than two quarters of play. The Crimson Tide jumped on Georgia State (0-5) with 38 fi rst-half points before the Panthers played Alabama within 7-3 in the second half. “My hats off to Alabama – they’re the No. 1 team in the nation for a reason,” GSU head coach Trent Miles said. “They’re a great football team, extremely talented and well-coached. “Our young men competed hard, but when you’re playing the No. 1 team in the nation at their place and you’re a tremendous underdog, you can’t help them. We went out and helped them in the fi rst half. We fumbled a kickoff return, we had some missed tackles, we had some young guys not get lined up correctly. Make no mistake, Alabama did what they needed to, but we didn’t need to help them. “At halftime, we discussed coming out in the second half and playing like the score was 0-0, and it was a 7-3 ballgame in the second half,” Miles continued. “We can build on that and get some momentum going into conference play.” Georgia State’s Wil Lutz booted a school-record 53-yard fi eld in the third quarter to get the Panthers on the scoreboard against an Alabama defense that has allowed just three fi eld goals over the last three games. The previous GSU record

for longest fi eld goal was 49 yards by Iain Vance against Morehead State in 2010. “Coach Miles asked me if I had the distance, and I told him, ‘Give me a shot,’” said Lutz, the sophomore from Newnan, Ga. “I wish it meant more, but I’m grateful for the opportunity.” GSU quarterback Ronnie Bell completed 11-of-20 passes for 146 yards. Albert Wilson was the Panthers’ leading receiver with four catches for 60 yards, including a 34-yard reception that set up Lutz’s fi eld goal. Freshman Robert Davis and sophomore Avery Sweeting added three receptions each. “Our young men are disappointed that they lost, but they’re more disappointed in their overall execution in the fi rst half,” Miles said. The Panthers only committed one turnover but the fumbled kickoff return late in the fi rst quarter gave Alabama the ball at the GSU 10-yard line. On the next play, McCarron found DeAndrew White for a 10-yard touchdown as White made a spectacular one-handed catch to put the Crimson Tide ahead 21-0. The Panthers also hurt themselves with a season-high 10 penalties, including several pre-snap penalties likely caused by a late personnel change due to injuries. With all three of Georgia State’s tight ends injured for this game, true freshman off ensive lineman Brandon Pertile lined up at tight end for the fi rst time.

TROY 35, GEORGIA STATE 28Game 6: Oct. 12, 2013 • 3:30 p.m. (SBN/CSS/ESPN3)


In the program’s fi rst Sun Belt Conference game, Georgia State fell 35-28 to Troy in the Panthers’ Homecoming game at the Georgia Dome. The Panthers (0-6, 0-1) rallied to score 21 second-half points and take the lead in the fourth quarter before Troy (4-3, 2-1) scored the go-ahead touchdown with 3:17 left in the game. Ronnie Bell tied a school record with four touchdown passes, two to Albert Wilson, who fi nished the game with seven catches for 153 yards and 119 yards on just two kickoff returns. “I thought our team battled and proved that they belong in this conference, and I am very happy with the way they played,” said Georgia State head coach Trent Miles. “I am not happy with the result, obviously, everyone is disappointed with losing. This was an FCS football team a year ago that won one game. We jumped into FBS and went toe-to-toe for 56 minutes and had every opportunity to win the game. “We proved that this is going to be a very good conference for us, and we will be able to compete.” Georgia State took a 28-21 lead on the fi rst play of the fourth quarter, as Bell found Wilson on a 38-yard pass down the middle for a touchdown. Wilson helped set up the scoring drive after fi elding a Troy kickoff at his own goal line and returning it to the GSU 48-yard line. Troy answered with fourth-quarter touchdown drives of 75 and 63 yards to seal the win. The fi nal score came after Chris Pickett intercepted Bell’s pass at the Troy 17-yard line and returned it to his team’s 37. Two plays later, Chris Williams caught a 54-yard touchdown pass from Corey Robinson, his third scoring pass of the day. “Troy is an excellent football team and off ensively it showed,” Miles said. “You make one mistake at the end, they go down the fi eld and cash it in to put the nail in the coffi n on us. Hat’s off to them, they are going to win a lot of football games.” Down 14-7 at halftime, Georgia State stormed back to take the lead after the Panthers defense forced two consecutive turnovers and blocked a punt to begin the second half. After Troy took the kickoff to start the third quarter, Trojans running back Brandon Burks fumbled on the next play from scrimmage after getting hit by Panther linebacker Mackendy Cheridor, and Tarris Batiste recovered the ball at the Troy 43.

The Panthers capitalized soon after when Bell found Wilson for an 8-yard touchdown pass. Bell converted third-down plays on the previous two series when he found Wilson for a 13-yard gain on third-and-6 and Robert Davis for an 11-yard gain on third-and-3. Troy’s next two possessions ended on a Jarrell Robinson interception in Georgia State territory and a blocked punt by Demarius Matthews that was downed at the Troy 31. After the block, the Panthers scored on the very next play on a touchdown pass from Bell to Davis, despite a defensive pass-interference call, to give the Panthers a 21-14 lead. The Panthers’ fi rst touchdown tied the score at 7-7 with 2:29 to go in the fi rst quarter with a nine-play, 75-yard touchdown drive capped by a 7-yard scoring pass from Bell to Kelton Hill. The touchdown was set up by consecutive fi rst-down completions as Bell found Davis for a 21-yard gain and then hit Jonathan Jean-Bart on a 26-yard screen pass to get to the Troy 6-yard line. The Georgia State defense forced three turnovers, as Batiste intercepted a Robinson pass in the end zone in the second quarter to go along with his fumble recovery and Jarrell Robinson’s interception. Linebacker Joseph Peterson led the defense with 16 total tackles. Bell fi nished 22-of-50 for 370 yards passing and one interception, the only Panthers turnover. Davis amassed 76 receiving yards, and Hill had 60. The Panther off ense put up 422 total yards, its highest total of the season. Troy’s Robinson, the FBS active leader in career passing yards, was 21-for-37 for 350 yards with three scores. Eric Thomas caught six passes for 113 yards and one touchdown, and Williams added four grabs for 152 yards. The Trojans ran an eye-popping 102 off ensive plays in the game.

TEXAS STATE 24, GEORGIA STATE 17Game 7: Oct. 19, 2013 • 7 p.m. (SBN/CSS/ESPN3)

Bobcat Stadium • San Marcos, Texas

With both teams looking for the fi rst Sun Belt Conference victory in program history, Texas State edged Georgia State 24-17 at Bobcat Stadium. With the game tied at 10-10 in the fourth quarter, Texas State (4-3, 1-2 Sun Belt) scored the go-ahead touchdown on a three-yard run by Chris Nutall. That put the Bobcats ahead 17-10 with 8:01 to play before both teams added late touchdowns. Georgia State (0-7, 0-2 Sun Belt) outgained the Bobcats 368-343, including 208 yards passing by Ronnie Bell, 71 yards rushing by Travis Evans and 73 yards receiving by Albert Wilson. The Panthers’ defense allowed just 47 yards passing on fi ve completions, the lowest fi gures in school history. But Texas State’s combination of Nutall (90 yards on nine carries, two touchdowns) and Robert Lowe (career-high 177 yards, one touchdown) proved to be the diff erence. “We just have to learn how to get over that hump and quit doing the things that beat ourselves,” Georgia State head coach Trent Miles said. “But we’re playing hard. I’m proud of them. I had a lot of guys out this game and we still were able to put ourselves in position to win. “We’re getting better because we’re executing better. It just hasn’t shown in wins yet.” Georgia State drove 81 yards early in the fourth quarter for the tying fi eld goal, a 19-yard boot by Wil Lutz that knotted the score at 10-10 with 11:21 to play. On the drive, Bell hit Wilson for completions of 12 and 21 yards and found tight end Keith Rucker for 15 yards. On third-and-8 at the Texas State 9, Bell scrambled up the middle but was just shy of the fi rst down, forcing the tying fi eld goal. On Texas State’s ensuing possession, the Panthers appeared to have the Bobcats stopped



with an incomplete pass on third down, but GSU was fl agged for pass interference to keep the drive alive. Two plays later, Nutall avoided a would-be tackler to scamper up the middle for 35 yards down to the GSU 9. He scored the go-ahead touchdown two plays later. After an exchange of punts, Georgia State took over at its own 16-yard line with 5:26 to play. On 3rd-and-4 from the GSU 39, Bell threw incomplete, and then his fourth-down pass was intercepted. Lowe scored for the Bobcats with 1:33 to play, and then Georgia State answered with Bell’s 5-yard touchdown pass to Robert Davis but it came with just one second left. Georgia State took the opening kickoff and marched 80 yards for a touchdown. On the fi rst play from scrimmage, Albert Wilson raced 47 yards on a reverse, the longest run of his career. After a would-be touchdown by Jonathan Jean-Bart was called back for a holding penalty, the Panthers converted a fourth-and-1 by Sean Jeppesen to keep the drive alive. On the next play, Bell snuck in for the 1-yard score to give the Panthers a 7-0 lead fi ve minutes into the game. The score was the fi rst rushing touchdown of Bell’s career. The Bobcats got on the board with Nutall’s 34-yard touchdown run with 2:04 left in the fi rst half. On their next possession, Lowe broke another long run, going 59 yards before he was knocked out of bounds at the 4-yard line by Demarius Matthews. But the GSU defense held and forced a fi eld goal, putting Texas State ahead 10-7 with 11:30 to play in the fi rst half. “They (Lowe and Nutall) are good running backs. Texas State is a good football team, and they are two wins away from being bowl eligible,” Miles said. GSU linebacker Robert Ferguson fi nished with eight tackles, raising his career total to 164 as he passed Mark Hogan (157) to become the Panthers’ career tackling leader. With 71 yards rushing, Evans topped the 1,400-yard mark for his career. He now has 1,403 career yards, just nine behind Donald Russell’s school record of 1,412. The Panthers managed 368 yards of off ense, including 160 yards rushing, despite playing with a makeshift off ensive line that was missing three starters in center Cade Yates, left tackle Ulrick John and left guard Tim Wynn.

UL-MONROE 38, GEORGIA STATE 10Game 8: Oct. 26, 2013 • 7 p.m. (ESPN3)

Malone Stadium • Monroe, La.

Georgia State fell at Louisiana-Monroe 38-10 at Malone Stadium in Monroe, La. ULM (4-4, 2-1 Sun Belt) quarterback Kolton Browning passed for 224 yards and four touchdowns in his fi rst game back from injury. The Preseason Player of the Year was injured Sept. 28 against Tulane and was thought to be out for the season but returned tonight. Centarius Donald added 126 yards rushing. Georgia State’s (0-8, 0-3 Sun Belt) Robert Ferguson returned a fumble 87 yards for a touchdown in the second quarter for the fi rst defensive touchdown in the Panthers’ history. In last week’s game, Ferguson became GSU’s career tackling leader. Terrance Woodard sacked Browning, who fumbled, and Ferguson scooped up the ball and raced for the end zone. ULM jumped to a 14-0 lead with two fi rst quarter touchdowns, the second one set up by an interception that gave the Warhawks possession at the GSU 33. After Feguson’s touchdown pulled the Panthers within 14-7, the GSU defense forced ULM to go three-and-out. Georgia State took over at its own 13 drove deep into ULM territory for a 25-yard fi eld goal by Wil Lutz. Now trailing 14-10 with seven minutes left in the second quarter, Georgia State tried an onside kick, and freshman Kight Dallas recovered the ball for the Panthers. But on third down at the GSU 45, Ben McLane’s pass was intercepted. ULM took

over at the GSU 31 and scored four plays later on Browning’s 19-yard touchdown pass to Je’Ron Hamm for a 21-10 lead. GSU played two quarterbacks in the game, but both starter Ronnie Bell and backup McLane struggled, combining to complete just 12 passes for 108 yards with three interceptions and a fumble. “You can’t turn the ball over four times against a good football team and expect to have a chance,” GSU head coach Trent Miles said. “We got it to 14-10, we recover an on-side kick and have the momentum, but we gave it right back. Then we had a chance to put points on the board at the end of the fi rst half and we fumbled.” Contributing to Georgia State’s off ensive struggles were more injuries on the off ensive line. Already starting its third center in Ronald Martin, Georgia State lost Martin and then Mark Ruskell to injuries during the game. Tim Wynn took over, playing center for the fi rst time since 2010. “A positive from tonight was the play of Tim Wynn,” Miles said. “We don’t have a center right now because of injuries, and he stepped in late in the fi rst half and then played the entire second half.” Freshman Jonathan Jean-Bart rushed for 60 yards on just seven carries for the Panthers, and freshman Kyler Neal added 34 yards on fi ve attempts. Travis Evans rushed for 25 yards to become Georgia State’s career rushing leader, passing Donald Russell (1,412, 2011-12). Evans now has 1,428 career yards.

WKU 44, GEORGIA STATE 28Game 9: Nov. 2, 2013 • 1 p.m. (SBN/CSS/ESPN3)


Georgia State fell to Sun Belt Conference foe Western Kentucky 44-28 at the Georgia Dome. The Panthers (0-9, 0-4 Sun Belt) scored two touchdowns on back-to-back drives in the third quarter to cut the WKU lead to 31-21 late in the period, but the Hilltoppers (5-4, 2-3) regained control with two fourth-quarter touchdown drives of their own. Trailing 31-7 in the third, the Panthers executed a 10-play, 73-yard touchdown drive set up by a 32-yard pass from Ronnie Bell to Avery Sweeting that put the Panthers at the WKU 4-yard line. Two plays later, Travis Evans rushed for a 2-yard touchdown to cut the Hilltopper lead to 31-14. Evans rushed six times for 31 yards on the scoring drive. After the GSU defense forced a three-and-out, the Panthers scored again with 0:54 left in the third quarter on an 11-yard touchdown run by freshman Jonathan Jean-Bart, who was initially called out-of-bounds at the 1-yard line but was determined to have crossed the goal line after a review. The touchdown was the fi rst of Jean-Bart’s career. The Hilltoppers, however, stemmed the Panther rally as Keshawn Simpson scored his third rushing touchdown with 10:18 to go in the game. Quarterback Nelson Fishback, who got the majority of the snaps after starter Brandon Doughty left in the third quarter with an injury, added to the WKU tally with a 5-yard touchdown pass with 3:40 left. Georgia State came right back with a 75-yard drive that ended in a 19-yard touchdown pass from Bell to Sweeting. The Panthers recovered the ensuing onsides kick, but turned the ball over on downs with under a minute remaining. “Our kids battled today,” GSU head coach Trent Miles said. “Give Western Kentucky and coach Petrino the credit. They found a way to win the football game. We dug ourselves a huge hole. We were unable to sustain any drives in the fi rst half with our off ense except for one big play. We had too many three-and-outs and left our defense on the fi eld way too much. We can’t turn the football over. “The kids battled back and made it a game. At one point it was a 10-point game. They [Western Kentucky] were able to go down and extend the

lead. The kids showed again that they’re fi ghters. We went back out and answered it and put it ourselves back in the game, but give Western Kentucky the credit.” After Western Kentucky started the game with two scoring drives to take a 10-0 lead, the Panthers got on the scoreboard at the 1:33 mark in the fi rst quarter. On a third-and-2 play, Bell found Robert Davis for a 67-yard touchdown pass as Davis made a juggling catch near midfi eld and raced the rest of the way after the WKU defensive back fell down. The pass play was the fi fth longest for a touchdown in GSU history (the top four were caught by Albert Wilson). The touchdown reception was the fourth of the year for Davis, who led the team with 84 yards receiving. The teams traded punts until Simpson capped a WKU drive with a 1-yard touchdown run with 4:02 remaining in the fi rst half. After another GSU punt, the Hilltoppers struck again with :52 left when Doughty found Kadeem Jones for a 16-yard touchdown pass to take a 24-7 lead into halftime. Simpson got his second touchdown of the day on a 2-yard run in the third quarter. Wilson, the second-leading active player in career total yards behind Western Kentucky’s Antonio Andrews (143 total yards today), fi nished with 72 yards receiving, 66 kickoff return yards (22.0 average), and six punt return yards to tally 144 today and bring his career mark to 5,588. Andrews’ 143 yards snapped a streak of 15 consecutive games with at least 150 all-purpose yards. Bell fi nished the game 26-of-41 passing for 325 yards with two touchdowns and two interceptions. The Panther defense forced one turnover, as cornerback Brent McClendon made a diving interception at the GSU 31 on a deep Doughty pass in the third quarter. That was McClendon’s fi fth career interception, tying for the GSU career lead. Robert Ferguson and Joseph Peterson tied for the team high with 10 total tackles, and Theo Agnew fi nished with nine.

UL-LAFAYETTE 35, GEORGIA STATE 21Game 10: Nov. 16, 2013 • 2 p.m. (ESPN3)


Georgia State quarterback Ronnie Bell set school records for career and single-season total off ense and career passing yards and the Panthers were tied with the Sun Belt Conference’s top team late in the third quarter before UL-Lafayette pulled away for a 35-21 victory at the Georgia Dome. UL-Lafayatte quarterback Terrance Broadway threw four touchdown passes as the Ragin’ Cajuns won their eighth straight game to improve to 8-2, 5-0 in the Sun Belt Conference. Bell fi nished the game with 229 yards passing, 46 yards rushing and a pair of touchdowns through the air. In only two years with the program, Bell has compiled 2,596 career passing yards and 2,772 yards of total off ense, including 2,197 yards this season. During the game, senior receiver Albert Wilson also broke Georgia State (0-10, 0-5 Sun Belt) single-season records for receptions (58) and all-purpose yards (1,834). Wilson already holds the career marks in both of those categories. Wilson also led the team with 66 yards rushing in the game. Wilson’s 22-yard touchdown reception tied the game at 21-all with fi ve minutes left in the third quarter, but the Ragin’ Cajuns answered on their next possession with an eight-play, 75-yard drive, capped by Broadway’s 36-yard touchdown pass to freshman Elijah McGuire. That gave UL-Lafayette a 28-21 lead with 1:47 left in the third quarter. Georgia State drove deep into UL-Lafayette territory on its next possession, but freshman Kyler Neal was stopped one yard short on fourth-and-3 at the UL 16-yard line. After another Broadway scoring pass pushed the Ragin’ Cajuns’ lead to 35-21, Georgia State drove into UL-Lafayette on its next two possessions



but came up short on fourth down both times. In the fi rst half, Georgia State committed a pair of costly turnovers in the red zone. Starting quarterback Ben McLane fumbled on the UL-Lafayette 3-yard line in the fi rst quarter and Bell threw an interception near the goal line in the second quarter to spoil potential scoring opportunities for GSU. However, the Panthers also benefi ted from a fi rst-half turnover. As time expired on the fi rst quarter, the Panthers’ defense recovered a Ragin’ Cajun fumble at the ULL 16-yard line. Georgia State used the short fi eld to convert a 5-yard touchdown run by senior Travis Evans and briefl y tie the contest at 7-7. On fourth-and-3 with only 24 seconds remaining in the fi rst half, Bell connected with freshman tight end Keith Rucker for a 42-yard touchdown, the fi rst score of Rucker’s career. Rucker fi nished the game with six receptions for a career-high 121 yards. Broadway tossed four touchdown passes, in the game including two to the freshman McGuire, who had 107 yards rushing and 125 yards receiving. McGuire took a fi rst-quarter shovel pass 80 yards for a score and received a screen pass in the third quarter that covered 36 yards for the score. The Panthers scored fi rst in the second half when Bell connected with Wilson on a 22-yard swing pass to tie the game at 21-21. Broadway then connected for a pair of second-half touchdown passes to build a 35-21 advantage for the visiting Ragin’ Cajuns. Linebacker Joseph Peterson turned in a stellar game defensively, leading the Panthers with twelve tackles and three tackles for loss, including a pair of third-down sacks.

ARKANSAS STATE 35, GEORGIA STATE 33Game 11: Nov. 23, 2013 • 3 p.m. (ESPN3)

Liberty Bank Stadium • Jonesboro, Ark.

Kelton Hill’s 70-yard touchdown pass to Albert Wilson pulled Georgia State within two points of Arkansas State with two minutes left, but the Panthers’ try for a game-tying two-point conversion failed and GSU fell to the Red Wolves 35-33 at Liberty Bank Stadium. Georgia State (0-11, 0-6 Sun Belt) outgained the second-place team in the Sun Belt Conference 432-290, but the Panthers hurt themselves with four turnovers and a blocked punt, which led directly to 21 points for Arkansas State (7-4, 5-1 Sun Belt). Wilson also had an 80-yard touchdown run, making him the fi rst player in GSU history with 100 yards rushing and receiving in the same game, and Hill added a 17-yard touchdown catch from Ronnie Bell to become the fi rst Panther to throw and catch a touchdown in the same game. Wilson’s 80-yard touchdown run, the longest run and third-longest play from scrimmage in school history, gave the Panthers a 17-7 lead with 6:42 left in the second quarter. The play capped a crazy sequence because on the previous play, Arkansas State’s Kyle Coleman scooped up a Georgia State fumble at the GSU 25-yard line and was heading for the end zone. But Wilson punched the ball out from behind, and the ball bounced into the end zone and out of bounds for a touchback. On the next play, Wilson took a handoff from Bell and raced for the end zone. Georgia State took its 17-7 lead into the intermission, but the Panthers gave Arkansas State 14 points in the fi rst four minutes of the second half on a fumble return for a touchdown and then a blocked punt for a touchdown. That put the Red Wolves ahead 21-17 before their off ense ran a play in the third quarter. The Panthers responded on their next possession, driving 75 yards on just fi ve plays for a go-ahead score, which came on Bell’s 17-yard pass to Hill. Bell set up the score with a 28-yard completion to Wilson out to the ASU 47 and a 28-yard pass to Robert Davis down to the 17, and Georgia State led 24-21 with nine minutes to play in the third quarter. But the Panthers again hurt themselves with

a crucial turnover, this time a fumble that the Red Wolves recovered at the GSU 27. The Panthers forced a fourth-and-1 at the 7, but ASU quarterback Adam Kennedy converted for a fi rst-and-goal, and then Michael Gordon ran fi ve yards for the touchdown, putting Arkansas State ahead 28-24 with 3:39 left in the third quarter. Bell again drove the Panthers deep into Arkansas State territory with a fi rst down at the 10, but Georgia State had to settle for Wil Lutz’s 35-yard fi eld goal on the fi rst play of the fourth quarter, cutting the defi cit to 28-27. ASU added another touchdown on its next possession, extending its lead to 35-27 on Kennedy’s 5-yard touchdown pass to J.D. McKissic with 10:51 to play. Still trailing 35-27, Georgia State took over at its own 23 with 3:03 left. After Bell hit Danny Williams for seven yards on fi rst down, the Panthers executed their trick play with Hill, the former quarterback now playing wide receiver. Hill took the pitch from Bell and then found Wilson behind the secondary for the 70-yard bomb, pulling the Panthers within two points. On the try for two, Bell was pressured and overthrew Wilson in the end zone. With two minutes still to play, the Panthers tried and onside kick but were unable to recover it, and Arkansas State was able to run out the clock. Arkansas State opened the scoring with a touchdown on its fi rst possession, and then Lutz put the Panthers on the scoreboard with a 40-yard fi eld goal early in the fi rst quarter. Bell gave GSU its fi rst lead with a 4-yard touchdown run with 1:45 left in the fi rst quarter. He set up the score with a 25-yard completion to Davis at the 4-yard line. Wilson fi nished with seven receptions for 149 yards and two rushes for a career-high 104 yards, helping the Panthers to a season-high 184 yards. His 149 receiving yards pushed him over the 1,000-yard mark for the season, breaking his own GSU season record of 947 yards that he set last season. Bell was 13-for-25 for 178 yards as he surpassed the GSU season record for passing yards with 2,258 on the year. Joseph Peterson fi nished with a game-high 13 tackles to raise his season total to a Georgia State-record 92. In limiting the Red Wolves to 290 yards of total off ense, the Georgia State defense came up with two fourth-down stops, recovered a fumble, and held ASU to 1-for-12 on third downs.

SOUTH ALABAMA 38, GEORGIA STATE 17Game 12: Nov. 30, 2013 • 1 p.m. (ESPN3)


Robert Davis’ 80-yard, third quarter catch-and-run highlighted Georgia State’s fi nal game of the 2013 season as the Panthers fell to South Alabama 38-17 at the Georgia Dome. A freshman from Warner Robins, Ga., Davis snared a short Ronnie Bell pass over the middle, juked his defender and raced across the fi eld and down the sideline to the USA 1-yard line midway through the third period. His dash turned into the longest pass play of the season, the longest non-scoring play and the third-longest play in school history. It set up Bell, who then plunged across from the 1 to cap the 81-yard, three-play drive in 1:06. The scoring drive was one of the few drives the Panthers could sustain. They fi nished 0-of-10 on third downs and lost the total off ense battle 522-345 on the day. Bell fi nished 17-of-34 passing for 321 yards and Davis ended with a season-high 110 receiving yards on four catches. It was Bell’s fourth 300-yard game of the season and ends his year with 2,573 yards passing. It was Davis’ second 100-yard game. Star wide receiver Albert Wilson ended the fi nal game of his stellar career with six catches for 101 yards and had 168 all-purpose yards to fi nish as one of the top performers in the country this season. Wilson was one of 25 seniors honored before the game in Senior Day festivities, the fi rst four-year class to pass through the Panther

program. This was Wilson’s 13th 100-yard receiving game. He fi nishes with 175 career catches for 3,190 yards. Wilson fi nishes among the top 40 in NCAA FBS history with 6,235 all-purpose yards. “I can’t say enough about Albert. I love Albert,” GSU head coach Trent Miles said. “People don’t know the way Albert is in the locker room. He’s had a very diffi cult life and made something very positive out of it and became a leader. He showed up every day and gave everything he had. He had great eff ort and great attitude. I love him and I look forward to watching him compete at the next level because he will have the opportunity. I need more Albert Wilsons.” Junior fullback Sean Jeppesen scored the fi nal points of the game with a 1-yard touchdown run to pull Georgia State within 21 points. Jeppesen played both ways in the game, starting at linebacker and making three tackles. USA running back Jay Jones opened the scoring with two fi rst-half touchdowns, rushing for in from 5 and 17 yards out in the fi rst period as USA jumped to a 14-0 lead. Jones helped South Alabama to 306 yards of off ense in the opening two quarters before he fi nished with 102 yard on 17 carries. The Panthers got on the board with a Wil Lutz 33-yard fi eld goal early in the second period. GSU enjoyed starting that drive with a short fi eld as well following Wilson’s career-long 62-yard punt return. Metheny added the Jaguars’ third score of the day with a 1-yard sneak after South Alabama converted on fourh down inside the 5-yard line. Metheny completed 19-of-28 passes for 280 yards in the game. His favorite target was Shavarez Smith, who had 10 catches for 194 yards and one

score. Metheny added 50 yards on the ground. Aleem Sunanon knocked through a 42-yard fi eld goal with 34 seconds left before halftime to give USA the 21-point cushion at the intermission. Kendall Houston scored USA’s fi nal points of the third quarter on a 1-yard run to fi nish off a 6 minute, 28 second drive, the only scoring drive for either team over four minutes. Georgia State senior linebacker Robert Ferguson fi nished his career as the only player to play all 45 games in the fi rst four seasons of the program with a school-best 199 career tackles after his fi ve today..
