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.

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.

All of the CFN Fearless Predictions

Charlotte (2-0) vs Georgia State (0-2) Game Preview


Why Charlotte Will Win

The 49ers have been terrific so far at controlling the clock and keeping the chains moving thanks to a big start from the offensive line.

The running game is averaging 230 yards per game, the easy third down conversions are there, and the team is keeping the ball for close to 36 minutes a game. Running well against Gardner-Webb was no big deal, but it managed to get by a tough day from the run defense to come through in the clutch to beat Duke.

So far Georgia State’s defense has been miserable on third downs, it’s only controlling the clock for 24 minutes per game, and it’s not getting enough from the O to keep up.

Week 3 College Football Expert Picks

Why Georgia State Will Win

The stats are a little bit unfair.

You can’t start the season against Army and North Carolina and expect to be great in the time of possession battle and do much against the run.

The problems have been with the offensive side that hasn’t been able to control anything. Charlotte’s defense is fine, but this is the game to get the ground attack going and expect to finally start producing through the air.

The 49ers couldn’t stop anything on the ground against Duke and had issues against Gardner-Webb. The Panthers should finally start moving the chains a bit at home with all of its options on the ground.

What’s Going To Happen

Can the Charlotte success travel to Atlanta?

Again, Georgia State hasn’t had a true look so far considering the opponents, but this is the real test to see just how good it can be.

The problem is the pass rush that isn’t there. The Panthers won’t do enough to get to 49er QB Chris Reynolds, Charlotte will keep the tempo at its level by controlling the clock, and the O line will take over as the game goes on.
