Carroll Rushes for 208 Yards at Georgia Southern

STATESBORO -- Georgia State got 208 yards rushing and two touchdowns from Marcus Carroll, but the Panthers fell 44-27 at Georgia Southern Thursday night at Paulson Stadium, snapping GSU's three-game winning streak in the series.
 
The Panthers, who still lead the series 6-4, are now 6-2 overall and 3-2 in the Sun Belt.

"Obviously a disappointing loss and a hard one to swallow," head coach Shawn Elliott said. "Credit to Georgia Southern. They're a good football team with a good plan. It's unfortunate that we didn't play quite like the team we've been in that first half. In the second half we made a little bit of a comeback. We started forcing turnovers and moving the ball offensively. Credit to our team for fighting till the end and staying in that ballgame, but it's a disappointing loss."

Carroll's 208-yard effort is the second-highest single-game rushing total in school history, trailing only Tra Barnett's GSU-record 242 yards vs. Troy in 2019. Carroll topped the 1,000-yard mark for the season, joining Barnett for Georgia State's only 1,000-yard seasons. He also tied the GSU season record with his 12th rushing touchdown.

Darren Grainger passed for 157 yards and two touchdowns and rushed for 80 yards to become Georgia State's all-time leader in total offense. The senior from Conway, S.C., now has 7,789 yards passing and rushing to pass Nick Arbuckle (7,566). 

Robert Lewis also set a school record with 12 receptions for 97 yards, including a 15-yard touchdown catch, his sixth of the season. 

Safety Jeremiah Johnson had an interception, Corey Warren recovered a fumble, and Jontrey Hunter had 10 tackles and a sack.

How It Happened
Georgia State tied the game at 7-7 with five minutes left in the first quarter, driving 83 yards in 12 plays, capped by Carroll's 13-yard scoring run. But Georgia Southern scored 20 straight to take a 27-10 lead at the half.

Trailing 34-7, Georgia State cut into the lead on Darren Grainger's 3-yard touchdown pass to Cadarrius Thompson a fourth-down play.

Then the Panthers forced back-to-back turnovers on Jeremiah Johnson's interception and Corey Warren's fumble recovery, which Georgia State converted into Carroll's second touchdown on a 19-yard run on the final play of the third quarter, pulling within 34-21.

Georgia Southern (6-2, 3-1) returned an interception for a touchdown before the Panthers closed out the scoring on Grainger's 15-yard TD pass to Robert Lewis.

The Panthers return home to host James Madison on Saturday, Nov. 4 at 3:30 p.m. at Center Parc Stadium. For tickets, visit GeorgiaStateSports.com/TIX.
