  Darren Grainger threw for two scores and the defense came up up with a scoop and score and Georgia State overwhelmed Troy 37-10 on Saturday. Grainger threw a 13-yard touchdown to Aubry Payne with 7:52 left in the first quarter for a 7-0 lead. Early in the second he tossed a 26-yard score to Sam Pinckney for a two-score lead before the teams traded field goals to end the half. Noel Ruiz, who kicked field goals of 43, 49 and 50 yards, booted from 49 shortly after the break and Georgia State (7-5, 6-2 Sun Belt Conference) led 20-3. The Panthers broke it open on Troy's ensuing drive when Blake Carroll broke through the line and drilled Troy quarterback Gunnar Watson to cause a fumble that Jamil Muhammad returned 72 yards for touchdown and a 24-point advantage. Watson threw for 287 yards and B.J. Smith scored the Trojans (5-7, 3-5) lone touchdown. Georgia State is bowl eligible for the third-straight year and is the only FBS team in the nation to play four road games against ranked opponents this season. - Georgia State/AP College Football

  Jamyest Williams rushed for a career-high 125 yards with two touchdowns, Georgia State's defense made 15 tackles for losses, and the Panthers defeated Arkansas State 28-20 on Saturday to become bowl-eligible for the third straight season. Georgia State (6-5, 5-3 Sun Belt) held the Red Wolves (2-9, 1-6) to 273 total yards, including a school-record minus-3 rushing. Jontrey Hunter led the Panthers defense with eight tackles including four for lost yardage and was in on one of Georgia State's six sacks.

Williams' first TD, from the 1-yard line, gave Georgia State a 7-3 lead they would not lose. He added a 13-yard score for a 21-13 lead on the first play of the fourth quarter. Darren Grainger sealed the win on a 35-yard touchdown run two minutes later after the Panthers forced a three-and-out. Layne Hatcher completed 28 of 48 passes for 273 yards with an 83-yard touchdown strike to Lincoln Pare for Arkansas State, but was intercepted twice.

  Christian Veilleux used the biggest opportunity of his young college career to make up for a lost time on Saturday. Penn State's freshman quarterback, who was out of football a year ago when his high school canceled the season due to the coronavirus pandemic, stepped in for an ailing Sean Clifford and shook off the rust. Veilleux sparked what had been a lifeless Penn State offense with three touchdowns in a 28-0 win over Rutgers on Saturday. Veilleux was not available for comment after the game as Penn State does not allow freshmen to speak to reporters. "We faced as much adversity in this game as I've been around," Penn State coach James Franklin said. Jahan Dotson, Parker Washington and Malick Meiga caught touchdown passes and Keyvone Lee ran for a score for the Nittany Lions who snapped a two-game skid at Beaver Stadium.

The Nittany Lions (7-4, 4-4 Big Ten) did so with 35 players battling flu-like symptoms through the week and up to kickoff. Clifford, who left the game midway through the first quarter, was among them. The three-year starter missed warm-ups as he was receiving fluids in the locker room. Afterward, Clifford told Franklin he felt like he could play. It didn't last. Clifford was just 2-for-8 passing with 23 yards before he returned to the locker room for more treatment. Although he had never played a collegiate down and took a while to find his rhythm, Veilleux settled in and the rest of Penn State's offense did enough in the second half to beat the Scarlet Knights (5-6, 2-6) for the 15th straight time. - Penn State/AP College Football

  NOV 15 SUN BELT FOOTBALL OFFENSIVE PLAYER OF THE WEEK: Darren Grainger, Georgia State,(RS Jr., QB – Conway, S.C.),...Panthers redshirt junior quarterback Darren Grainger returned to his hometown of Conway, S.C., and led Georgia State to a 42-40 victory over No. 22/21 Coastal Carolina. The win was the Panthers first-ever over a ranked opponent. Grainger completed 18-of-24 passes for 198 yards and two touchdowns, while adding 29 yards in the ground game. The signal-caller directed Georgia State on four 75-yard touchdown drives to help the Panthers snap Coastal Carolina's 12-game home winning streak. - Sun Belt Football

  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

Williams' decisive touchdown came barely one minute after Georgia Southern's Logan Wright had tied the score on a 9-yard run with 1:39 left in the fourth. In a game in which the teams would combine for more than 850 yards total offense, the score was tied at 7 entering the fourth quarter. With 11:19 remaining, Georgia State's Tucker Gregg scored on a 3-yard run to give the Panthers a 14-7 lead that stood up until the final two minutes.
