The Georgia State University Panthers are ready to play for Sun Belt football in 2019. Georgia State Stadium is just south of downtown Atlanta, a perfect place for some gridiron.
The Panthers football team has only been in existence since 2010, but it has made strides since then and been able to recruit some quality athletes from inside and outside the state.

Georgia State’s biggest rival is Georgia Southern, which is located in Statesboro. Although the teams have squared up quite a few times in basketball, they meet in football only so often until a few years ago.
Week 1: GSU 38- Tennessee 30
The party was in downtown Atlanta on Aug. 31 after the Georgia State University Panthers shocked the Tennessee Volunteers 38-30 at Neyland Stadium.
Tennessee, a former powerhouse team in the SEC, was supposed to mop the field with the Panthers, who were three-score underdogs. Instead, GSU handed the Vols their first home opening loss since 1983.
Week 2: GSU 48- Furman 42
In a thrilling game that saw Georgia State get behind after leading for most of the way, the Panthers scored late to beat Furman University 48-42.
