Episode Details

Georgia State was supposed to be the snooze fest of JMU’s homecoming week, and now it might be the Dukes’ toughest test of the month.

Bennett and Jack break down why the Panthers (4-1) are a real threat. Georgia State ranks 12th nationally in pass EPA, and QB Cam Brown, a former Texas Tech quarterback, has 13 touchdowns and one interception. They also explain how the matchup sets Georgia State’s elite pass defense against its weak run defense, and why George Petaway could have a huge day against one of the nation’s worst teams at allowing explosive runs.

Then Brady Weiler of Panther Talk joins the show to explain how Georgia State went from the worst defense in the FBS to a Sun Belt East contender. He covers Dell McGee’s new portal strategy, a pass rush with 19 sacks in five games, the offensive playmakers to know, and the two things that decide whether the Panthers can win in Harrisonburg: stopping the run and not turning the ball over.

After the interview, it’s the Sun Belt Weekly Pick ’Em, with score predictions for JMU-Georgia State, followed by a rundown of the JMU sports scene: soccer, volleyball, field hockey and a Chase DeLauter shoutout.
