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 …

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 …

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.

All of the CFN Fearless Predictions

Army (0-0) vs Georgia State (0-0) Game Preview


Why Army Will Win

The Georgia State defense will once again be good at getting into the backfield, but it doesn’t have all the parts that got the job done last season.

The Panthers are breaking in a slew of new starting linebackers – hardly a plus when dealing the Army running game – but the real concern might be on the other side.

The Army defense is always helped by an offense that holds the ball for close to 35 minutes a game, but it’s going to be good again on its own. The Black Knights were No. 1 in the nation in total defense, and now they’re led by one of the strongest secondaries yet in the Jeff Monken era.

Week 1 College Football Expert Picks

Why Georgia State Will Win

It’s the system as well as the players.

Georgia State might have a slew of replacements on the defensive front seven, but the D that was amazing at getting into the backfield in 2020 should be able to get behind the line again.

Yes, the Army secondary should be a plus, but the Georgia State passing game is good enough to provide a push. Cornelious Brown is a terrific quarterback who should take his game up a few notches, the receiving corps is loaded with experience, and all five starters return to an O line that should be among the best in the Sun Belt.

What’s Going To Happen

Georgia State has the talent and experience in place to be strong every time out, but Army has more than enough of the 2020 offense returning to keep the fun going.

The Black Knight backfield will be consistent and explosive enough to control the game and the clock, and the defense will do its job to overcome a few good Panther scoring drives to own third downs early in the second half.

Army will go Army. It’ll have the ball for over 35 minutes and make the other side press.
