OCT 28/WEEK 9 SUN BELT OFFENSIVE PLAYER OF THE WEEK: Tra Barnett, Georgia State (Senior, Running Back, Elberton, Ga.),...Georgia State senior running back, Tra Barnett, rushed for 242 yards and two touchdowns and broke Georgia State's single-game, season and career rushing records to lead the Panthers to bowl eligibility with their fourth straight victory, 52-33 over Troy. The senior from Elberton, Ga., became Georgia State's career rushing leader with 1,631 yards, and he took sole possession of the GSU career record with 15 career rushing touchdowns. With 928 yards on the year, Barnett also broke the Georgia State single-season record.

Barnett's 242 yards shattered the GSU single-game mark of 201 yards, breaking the record with a 41-yard touchdown run on 4th-and-1 with one minute to play to seal the victory.
