CENTURY TRIO: For the first time in Georgia State history, three different receivers topped the 100-yard mark against UL Monroe. Glenn Smith led the way with 123 yards on just four catches. He had a 31-yard touch-down and a 78-yard reception down to the 13-yard line. Robert Davis had five catches for 114 yards, highlighted by a 58-yard TD. Freshman Jawan Nobles had a 61-yard touchdown en route to a 103-yard effort on five catches. That trio helped Conner Manning passed for a career-high 422 yards. That is

the second-highest figure in school history, bettered only by Nick Arbuckle’s GSU record of 471 yards.

INJURIES TAKE THEIR TOLL: Georgia State has endured a rash of key injuries that have ravaged the offensive skills positions: > Penny Hart, the 2015 Sun Belt Freshman of the Year and a Freshman All-American, played sparingly in just two games before his season was ended by a broken foot. Hart LED IN THE SUN BELT with 5.5 receptions and 84.5 receiving yards per game, and he set the Sun Belt freshman record for receiving yards (1,099). > Hart’s injury caused the Panthers to move starting running back Glenn Smith to slot receiver, thinning the backfield. > Starting QB Conner Manning was injured in the Thursday practice before Game 7 vs. UT Martin. He missed that game and the next but came back vs. Arkansas State when his replacement, Aaron Winchester, injured his ankle. He has missed the last two games. > Todd Boyd, the Panthers’ second-leading receiver (33-352-1) suffered a season-ending knee injury vs. Arkansas State. > RB Kyler Neal, the Panthers’ leading rusher, has been limited to two carries in the last four games by an ankle injury. > Standout TE Keith Rucker missed two games with a rib injury and is still hampered. > RB Kendrick Dorn suffered a season-ending ankle injury vs. Arkansas State. > Running back Taz Bateman suffered a season-ending knee injury on the first day of preseason practice.

IT’S ACADEMIC: Georgia State defensive backs Chandon Sullivan and Bobby Baker were named to the CoSIDA Academic All-District 4 football team by the College Sports Information Directors of America. Sullivan, a junior cornerback from Winder, Ga., was selected for the second straight year, the first repeat honoree in GSU football history. The journalism major is a three-year starter in the secondary who earned All-Sun Belt Conference accolades in 2015. He is GSU’s career leader with six interceptions, including three this season. Baker is a senior safety from Sherman Oaks, Calif., majoring in speech. Named to the Sun Belt All-Newcomer team in 2015, he is a two-time Sun Belt Defensive Student-Athlete of the Week, including this year’s game against Wisconsin. He is second on the team in tackles with 55 and has a GSU-record five career fumble recoveries and four interceptions. Baker was tabbed to preseason watch lists for the Senior Bowl and Jim Thorpe Award and was a semifinalist for the National Football Foundation William V. Campbell Trophy.

WREAKING HAVOC: Sophomore linebacker Michael Shaw tied the GSU record with four tackles for loss vs. ULM. Over the last two games, he has six tackles for loss, including three sacks, 19 tackles and a forced fumble.

We did notdoanythingonoffensetohelpmovetheballandprotect our defense,” Georgia State head coachTrent Miles said. “Ball State ran the ball and didthingsbetterinthesecondhalfoffensively,theydidamuchbetterjobthanwedid,socongratulationstoBallState.” Smith’sreturn,justthesecond“picksix”inGSUhistory, came on the first possession of the gameand gave the Panthers a 7-0 lead less than twominutesintothegame. On the next possession, Smith came upwith another interception, this at the Ball State34-yard line after the ball was tipped at the lineof scrimmage by Shawanye Lawrence.
