Georgia State vs South Carolina State Football

Thursday, August 30,2012

To end the break before finishing up my travels to Oregon and Washington in the middle of August, I wanted to take a moment to recognize that this past weekend was the start of the 2012 football season. On Thursday, Georgia State University played their first game of the season against South Carolina State at the Georgia Dome in downtown Atlanta. I was really excited about the game as Georgia State is still a relatively new football program. The Panthers came out to much excitement from the crowd as fans piled into the dome after tailgating most of the afternoon. SC State brought their A game. The Bulldogs landed multiple blows against the Panthers. Most drives, the Panthers seemed about to answer each score but were stalled out usually within twenty yards of the end zone. The Panthers fell to the Bulldogs 33-6. This week they face off against Tennessee.
