  Draft Scout by Conference









  Georgia State's Darren Grainger had the homecoming he'd dreamed about all season. Grainger threw for 198 yards and two touchdowns only a few miles where he grew up as Georgia State won its first-ever game over a ranked opponent, defeating No. 22 Coastal Carolina 42-40 on Saturday. Nose tackle Thomas Gore wrapped up Coastal's Shermari Jones short of the goal line on a two-point conversion with just over a minute left to secure the win. "I had so much faith in my defense, I knew they'd get a big stop," Grainger said of those heart-stopping final moments. Grainger played in rec leagues in Conway and then at Conway High, only a short distance from the Coastal Carolina campus. He knew his family and friends would turn out and wanted to put on a show. Several fans wore blue T-shirts with Grainger's name and No. 3. By the end, Grainger's edginess turned to joy. "It feels good to be home," Grainger said. "It feels good to get a win over a ranked opponent." The Panthers (5-5, 3-3 Sun Belt Conference) had been 0-11 all-time against Top 25 teams and had lost all three times it had faced ranked opponents this season. The Panthers rallied in the fourth quarter to end that run of failure. "It takes 60 minutes and tonight it took every second of that," Georgia State coach Shawn Elliott said. Grainger threw a go-ahead touchdown and Tucker Gregg added his third scoring run after Georgia State blew a 28-16 lead in the second half to go up 42-34. - Georgia State/AP College Football
