Georgia State Panthers will be facing off against the UConn Huskies on Friday, November 1 in hopes of securing their first road win of the season under new head coach Dell McGee. This game marks the second meeting between the two teams, with the Panthers having previously beaten the Huskies 35-14 in 2023.
Despite a slow start in conference play, Georgia State continues to make strides in the Sun Belt rankings on both offense and defense. They lead the Sun Belt and rank 14th nationally for fewest penalties, and rank in the top 10 in completion percentage, passing efficiency, and passing offense. Defensively, the Panthers are fourth in the conference for fumbles recovered.
Key players to watch for the Panthers include senior linebacker Kevin Swint, who is close to breaking the single-season sack record, Ted Hurst who is nearing the touchdown record, and Liam Rickman who is approaching the field goals made record. The quarterback position has seen a change, with Zach Gibson taking over from Christian Veilleux in recent games.
After the game against UConn, Georgia State will face James Madison before returning home to host Arkansas State for Homecoming on November 11. Fans can catch the action live on TV or radio, cheering for the Panthers as they aim for a victory on the road.
