GSU game thread
Buies Creek, N.C. – Welcome to Campbell University, where it’s nothing like Georgia State.
Tiny town, small campus, small stadium. As best I can tell, the town is basically the school, and the school can be crossed in probably 10 minutes. Barker-Lane Stadium is basically a high school set-up with the aluminum bleachers lining both sidelines, maybe 10 rows deep. I was talking to parents of a freshman on the team who surmised their son’s high school stadium sat more fans than the one here.
So, very different. Also, very hot. As sports information staffer Mike Holmes said, it’s like “being on the surface of the sun” down on the fake grass field. It’s 89 degrees, and feels hotter than that. There’s no shade or cloud cover. Regardless of the score, expect coach Bill Curry to dip into the two-deep pretty liberally.
Georgia State has won the toss and elected to defend the south corona.
Game captains: guard Joseph Gilbert, linebacker Mark Hogan, linebacker Blake Wyatt.
Let’s see what happens today. Game on.

darren mccray took back opening kickoff for touchdown. 94 yards untouched 7-0. i think gsu has a bit of a speed advantage here.

Fumble. Likely won’t see Damarius running punts back the rest of the day. Can’t give the ball back.

That was ridiculous. And most of it was caused because of the stupid turnover that happened. Should have called a fair catch

he might’ve fumbled had he called for the fair catch.
the power running game not looking so hot so far.

one good thing for gsu about the kickoff return is that campbell will probably squib the rest of the game and give panthers good field position.

dave cohen brought up a point about matthews’ fumble. he’s looking into the sun. fwiw. handled fair catch now fine.

Yeah, there are an unbelievable amount of factors which GSU hasn’t had to deal with until now. It’s kind of irritating to watch over the internet though… Really crap quality…

Our defense really needs to step up. This should be an easy game, and yet i’m still finding it hard to relax

sorry the quality isn’t good. campbell is running and controlling the line exactly like gsu would like to.

impressive drive for campbell. 13 plays 95 yards with some penalty help. campbell has not had a longer td drive since beginning play again in 2008.

gsu kicks off to start the half. campbell had the ball more than 20 minutes. that’s not a good number in this heat.

gsu finally holds, forces 47 fg try, which misses, but running into the kicker gives campbell a second try from 42. which also misses. 14-14.

another missed field goal for campbell, from 29 yards. big break.

Big Play Georgia State.
We can make big plays at any time, which is nice. That opening touchdown, for example.
But we have no sense of clock control.
This 4th quarter doesn’t look promising with all that time the defense has been on the field.
