Georgia State vs ULM Game Preview

Why ULM Will Win

The passing game has been effective.

The wins might not be there, and the defense is having problems, but QB Chandler Rogers has been terrific hitting over 75% of his throws over the last five games.

Few teams not the Georgia State schedule over the last few weeks are able to throw, but here it comes. ULM will keep throwing and stay in the game by efficiently moving the chains, but …

Why Georgia State Will Win

ULM’s defense has problems, and it doesn’t make up for them with takeaways.

The Warhawks have a grand total of zero takeaways over the last five games, putting the spotting on each and every turnover. They gave it up four times in the win over Texas State last week, but they won’t be able to get away with that this time.

Georgia State’s offense has been rolling with four wins in the last five games, there’s a little bit of balance to go along with the great ground game, and …

– Schedules, Predictions College | NFL

What’s Going To Happen

This should be fun.

Georgia State is still in the mix for a bowl game, but it has to win two more games and the finish is at James Madison and at Marshall. It HAS to win this, and it will with the ground game taking over in the second half.

ULM is 3-1 at home and 0-5 on the road. It’ll be entertaining, but the D is about to get hit hard.

Georgia State vs Appalachian State Game Preview

Why Georgia State Will Win

Appalachian State was supposed to be the Sun Belt’s killer running team this year, and it’s turning out to be Georgia State.

The Panthers can throw a little bit when they have to, but the veteran combination of backs and quarterback Darren Grainger are starting to take over.

Army ran for more yards, but Georgia State was more effective on the ground in the 31-14 win. It ripped through Georgia Southern for 336 yards, and they’re combining it with a defense that takes the ball away by the truckload.

It’s a great combination that turned the season around, but …

– NFL Expert Picks, Week 7

Why Appalachian State Will Win

The Georgia State offense is almost never on the field. For a team that runs the ball as effectively as any in the country, it doesn’t do a thing to control the clock.

The Panthers are dead last in the nation in time of possession partly because they can’t come up with a third down stop. They make up for it with takeaways.

And that’s it. That’s everything for an Appalachian State that’s better than Texas State, but lost last week with two turnovers and 12 penalties. It gave up the ball twice in the loss to James Madison and once against North Carolina.

It’s 3-0 when it doesn’t turn the ball over and 0-3 when it does.

However, it can play a little offense, too, averaging 445 yards per game, and …

– Schedules, Previews College | NFL

What’s Going To Happen

Appalachian State will turn the ball over, but it’ll break the pattern by holding up against the run. The Panthers might be running well, but Appalachian State will do it better.

The passing game has gone off for the Mountaineers, but they’re at their best when they’re ripping off yards in chunks. They’ll do a little of everything in a high-scoring shootout.

Old Dominion vs Georgia State Game Preview

Why Old Dominion Will Win

Georgia State’s defense has been funky. It got ripped up by the Appalachian State running game in last week’s loss, got hit with 359 passing yards in the win over Georgia Southern a few weeks ago, and Old Dominion’s offense can adapt to whatever works.

The passing game has been steady enough to be a sure thing to hit 200 yards, and the ground attack rumbled all over Coastal Carolina in a shocking win a few weeks ago.

With a great pass rush to bother Panther QB Darren Grainger, the defense should be okay, but …

– NFL Expert Picks, Week 8

Why Georgia State Will Win

Old Dominion has a nightmare of a time on third downs, the pass defense is an issue, and it’s one of the few teams in the Sun Belt that can give Georgia State a run for being worse in the time of possession battle.

The Panthers are going to give up a ton of yards though the air, but they usually make up for it with a whale of a ground attack that gives up 212 yards per game.

The D has the ability to crank up multiple takeaways with two or more in four games, but …

– Game Previews, Predictions College | NFL

What’s Going To Happen

Old Dominion doesn’t turn the ball over. At least it hasn’t given it up over the last two games and hasn’t had a huge issue with mistakes so far.

The Georgia State pass defense will struggle, Old Dominion should with the turnover battle, and the road side should come up with a strong win on the road to keep bowl hopes alive.

Georgia Southern vs Georgia State Game Preview

Why Georgia Southern Will Win

The offense continues to move the chains.

It’s fourth in the nation in third down conversions, averages 500 yards per game, and it’s versatile enough to keep things going in a variety of ways.

The passing game has been great, the ground attack averages 5.6 yards per carry, and it all starts with an offensive line that doesn’t allow anything in the backfield.

Georgia Southern leads the nation in fewest tackles for loss allowed and is second in sacks allowed.

Georgia State doesn’t come up with sacks and struggles to get behind the line.

– NFL Expert Picks, Week 5

Why Georgia State Will Win

The Panthers finally got the season going with a terrific 31-14 win over Army. They played well over the first month but couldn’t force a break, and then it all worked with the ground game and takeaways finally getting it done.

Can they keep running on the Eagles? The Georgia State ground attack hit the 200 yard mark against everyone but Coastal Carolina, and Georgia Southern is allowing 5.4 yards per carry getting gouged a bit too much.

Georgia State doesn’t have a pass rush, but Georgia Southern really doesn’t generate pressure. Give QB Darren Grainger time and he’ll produce.

– Schedules, Previews College | NFL

What’s Going To Happen

This should be fun.

Both offenses know how to get the party moving, and both defenses are more than happy to keep the drinks cold.

Georgia State played well in the 0-4 start but turnovers in a few games, lots of penalties in others, and key misfires did it in. At home the running game will get off the bus with 200 yards, there won’t be enough turnovers to matter, and …

Georgia Southern PK Alex Raynor hasn’t missed a kick all year. He won’t in the final seconds in this, either.

Army vs Georgia State Game Preview

Why Georgia State Will Win

The Panthers are better than their record.

Okay, you are what your record says you are, and the 42-41 home loss to Charlotte was inexcusable, but losses to South Carolina, North Carolina, and Coastal Carolina were all decent, forgivable, and somewhat competitive.

The downfield passing game has been there. and it’s working partly because the line is giving Darren Grainger time to operate. The running game was stuffed by Coastal Carolina, but it was strong in the other three games, and …

– NFL Expert Picks, Week 4

Why Army Will Win

Blah, blah, blah … can Georgia State stop the Army running game?

Sort of, but not really.

The Panthers don’t generate much pressure, and while that’s not the worst thing in the world against the Army style of offense, they give up rushing yards in chunks.

Coastal Carolina was able to run well, and now it’s Army’s turn to be Army.

Navy was able to beat East Carolina by connecting on a few downfield throws, and Air Force can wing it when needed. Army threw it 18 times against UTSA when the ground attack didn’t roll like normal, but against Villanova …

One pass, it didn’t connect. And why? 472 rushing yards and six scores in the 49-10 win. And then there’s the …

– Schedules, Previews College | NFL

What’s Going To Happen

Time of possession.

That’s the problem.

Georgia State might be playing better, but it doesn’t do much to run the clock and grind in any way. That’s partly why it’s the worst team in the country in time of possession, holding the ball for just under 24 minutes per game.

Army? It’s not nearly the ball control powerhouse it normally is, but it will be this Saturday.

Coastal Carolina vs Georgia State Game Preview

Why Coastal Carolina Will Win

Where’s it all going wrong for Georgia State?

This is a veteran team that was supposed to be solid. Losing to South Carolina and North Carolina weren’t any big deal, but dropping the 42-41 home game to a struggling Charlotte squad was disastrous.

The Panthers are rolling up the yards, but they’re not playing a lick of defense, there hasn’t been a penalty they don’t seem to enjoy committing, and …

Time of possession. If you can’t control the clock, you can’t get by Coastal Carolina. Ask Army how that works.

Georgia State is holding the ball for just over 25 minutes per game. That equals death against a Coastal Carolina offense that rolls when it’s able to hit the third down conversions. However …

– CFN Expert Picks, Week 4

Why Georgia State Will Win

The Chanticleers are scuffling a bit.

They shocked Army 38-28 to open the season, but needed everything in the bag to get by Gardner-Webb and last week had to work too much to get by Buffalo. And what’s been the big problem?

Turnovers. The defense has forced nine over the last two games, but the six given away made life difficult.

Gardner-Webb threw at will, Buffalo was able to stay alive on the takeaways, and Georgia State needs all of that.

The Panther ground game has been fantastic, the big plays were there, and …

– Week 4 Schedule, Predictions, Game Preview

What’s Going To Happen

Coastal Carolina is just too efficient.

As rough as things have been over the 3-0 start, the Chanticleer run defense – even against Army – has been outstanding.

That’s good, but Grayson McCall and the passing game continue to be among the nation’s most effective, and the Panther secondary hasn’t appreciably improved since getting hit for over 400 yards and five touchdowns by Charlotte’s Chris Reynolds last week.

This is going to be a wild, fun game to get the college football weekend going.

Georgia State vs Charlotte Game Preview

Why Charlotte Will Win

So what’s going right in this tough 0-3 start?

The passing game hasn’t been bad.

Xavier Williams might not be Chris Reynolds – the injured starter – when it comes to his accuracy, but he’s been able to put up enough yards to at least keep things moving.

The offense isn’t killing itself with a slew of mistakes – there’s been just one turnover so far – and the defense should get a break, at least in the secondary.

The Panthers haven’t been able to get much of anything going through the air. The passing game wasn’t miserable against North Carolina, but it crashed in the opener against South Carolina.

However …

– CFN Expert Picks, Week 3

Why Georgia State Will Win

The Georgia State running game is about to go off.

Charlotte is dead last in the nation in total defense, and it’s not like it faced a bunch of killers.

Maryland has an offense – it rolled for over 600 yards – but Florida Atlantic and William & Mary were both able to do whatever they wanted.

The 49ers are dead last in the nation in passing efficiency defense, dead last in total defense, and it’s having a nightmare of a time against the run.

– Week 3 Schedule, Predictions, Game Preview

What’s Going To Happen

Georgia State will finally get to get this 2022 season going.

Charlotte has good parts, but it hasn’t been able to get them all going yet offensively. The defense hasn’t been remotely close so far, and the Panther attack will take advantage with a balanced day including the first 200-yard passing day of the season.

North Carolina vs Georgia State Game Preview

Why Georgia State Will Win

Let’s just say the North Carolina offense has been a little slow to get its 2022 season going.

It got ripped to shreds by Appalachian State in almost all phases of the wild 63-61 win – the Tar Heels allowed 40 points in the fourth quarter – with no prayer against the running game, no hope against the passing attack, and in all allowing 649 yards of total offense.

ASU QB Chase Brice is a fine player, but the UNC defense made him look like Aaron Rodgers.

Georgia State’s defense was fine in the 35-14 loss to South Carolina. It kept Spencer Rattler from getting into a groove, there wasn’t anything happening from the ground game, and it was more of a battle than the final score might indicate.

However …

– CFN Expert Picks, Week 2

Why North Carolina Will Win

Darren Grainger and the Georgia State passing game struggled.

He completed just 7-of 29 passes for 111 yards with a touchdown and a pick – almost all of the yards came on two big plays – and the scoring pop wasn’t there to close out the good things the running game did.

Again, the North Carolina defense will make things easier, but the other side of the ball should be the problem.

Star Tar Heel WR Josh Downs might not be able to go, but QB Drake Maye has been on fire to start the season, the running game averaged six yards per carry against App State, and the balance and explosion should show up in Atlanta.

– Week 2 Schedule, Predictions, Game Preview

What’s Going To Happen

Give the South Carolina defense credit for making Georgia State struggle. The Panthers were in it until late in the second half, but couldn’t break through.

At home, it’s going to have a much easier time against a North Carolina team that’s finishing off the road Sun Belt circuit before hosting Notre Dame. The defense will be a wee bit better than it was in Boone, North Carolina, but it’ll have issues with Grainger, and it will need a good second half punch to push past.

It’s not going to be the 59-17 wipeout of last year.

The Tar Heels will win – and will pull away – but once again with this team, it’ll be interesting.

Sun Belt Preseason Predictions For Every Game: Preview 2022

Sun Belt predictions for every team and every game in the 2022 college football season

The Sun Belt just got a whole lot more interesting with the addition of Marshall, Old Dominion, and Southern Miss from Conference USA – and getting them a year before it seemed possible – and also brought in FCS powerhouse James Madison to a be a part of the fun.

The divisions are staying for now, but the great additions will make it far, far tougher for Appalachian State, Coastal Carolina, and Louisiana to keep on dominating – even though they might not take that big a step back, if any.

While it might seem a bit cut-and-dry with the way the league is set up, watch out for some potentially big moves from some teams that struggled. The problem will be the schedules for Troy, South Alabama, and Arkansas State. Georgia State and Old Dominion programs that got to bowl games last season will have to fight, too.

The Sun Belt is stronger than ever and the season should be the best yet. The Sun Belt predictions for 2022 are …

2022 Preseason CFN Sun Belt Offensive Player of the Year

QB Grayson McCall, Jr. Coastal Carolina

The star in the emergence of Coastal Carolina football, McCall has been one of the nation’s most efficient and effective passers over the last two seasons hitting 71% of his throws for close to 5.400 yards with 53 touchdowns and six picks.

He’s able to run – 870 yards and 11 career touchdowns – hit the deep ball, and get the high-octane attack rolling at will. Coastal Carolina has some rebuilding to do, but McCall will make everyone around him better.

2022 Preseason CFN Sun Belt Defensive Player of the Year

LB Carlton Martial, Sr. Troy

The newly configured Sun Belt is loaded with do-it-all linebackers, but no one does-it-all more more than Martial. He’s not all that big, but the 5-9, 210-pound flash gets all over the field as a bit of a hybrid playmaker.

Going into his fifth season, he already has 443 tackles, ten sacks, 47.5 tackles for loss, and five picks with seven forced fumbles on the resumé.
