History
These two teams have no history playing each other, since the Panther football team came into existence in 2010. I bet they wish they hired Larry Coker though?

What They're Saying
No insults intended; this is really just some game week fun ... so have a laugh. These quotes were removed from any relevant context that would give them any logical sense .... These quotes are courtesy of PantherTalk.com:
This was fun, and, honestly, I feel quite a bit of pity for the Ga. State fans ... I'm just going to sum up their reactions in two quotes:
We don't matter any more than an FCS team, and probably every FCS team in the playoffs this year could beat us.Where's the score prediction thread so that I can predict another blow-out. Then again, maybe I wont because I really don't care.
Don't give up hope...USAToday has us ahead of Troy in the "128 power rankings" now
Questions Needing Answers
Offense:
Will this week be a regression to the mean? Which wide receiver will have the most yards? Will Cyler Miles throw a pick-6 on one of his bubble screens?
Defense:
Can we see some more defensive touchdowns? Will Marcus Peters step up his game? What will the sack total for Shelton and Kikaha be?
Miscellaneous:
Will Shaq get a TD on offense and defense? Will there be any special team's TDs? Is this the game Chris Petersen takes off his hat and chucks it on the ground?
Conclusion
While I won't go so far as saying Georgia State is just going to bend over this game, it would be fair to say the game won't be close. Georgia State is riding a two game losing streak (both these were home games), and they've been bottom dwellers in the FBS ever since they made a team. Hopefully the Panthers can continue to get better in the near future ... I just don't see that happening this week, or even this year.
