Arkansas State Holds Off a Georgia State Rally, 38-32
Trey Owens had 40.0 Promethium points, which is the kind of number that sorts out a fantasy week on its own. Arkansas State beat Georgia State 38-32 behind his 309 passing yards and four total touchdowns, and the Red Wolves needed nearly all of them.
The game was tied three times (7-7, 14-14 and 21-21) and nobody ever flipped the lead. Arkansas State scored first on a 12-yard throw from Owens to Jaylen Bonelli, and every time Georgia State caught up, Arkansas State had an answer. Owens ran in from 2 yards and again from 1 yard, hit Nana Burris for 54, and Timothy Carter's 2-yard run at 14:57 of the fourth made it 35-21. Clune Van Andel's 26-yard field goal at 10:59 made it 38-21.
Georgia State did not quit. Rodshaun Dorsey caught a 27-yard touchdown at 9:25 and the two-point conversion made it 29-38, and Samer Layous kicked a 33-yarder at 4:25 to get it to 32-38. That was all of it. Owens had a hand in four of Arkansas State's five touchdowns, which is a lot of the offense in one pair of shoes. Two interceptions hurt the Panthers, and Arkansas State had none. Qwantavius Wiggins did what he could, with a 77-yard touchdown run in the third quarter that tied the game at 21 (77 of his 99 rushing yards came on that one play).
Arkansas State is 4-4 and Georgia State falls to 4-3. Both teams cleared 400 yards (473 for the Red Wolves, 429 for the Panthers), and the difference was the interceptions.
