The Panthers are the 2020 LendingTree Bowl champions
The Georgia State Panthers defeated the Western Kentucky Hilltoppers 39-21 in the LendingTree Bowl Saturday afternoon.
This bowl is the second win for the Panthers in their fourth appearance, and the team made it count.
After a Quad Brown interception led to a rocky 7-0 deficit for Georgia State, head coach Shawn Eliott knew his team needed to lock-in and focus.
“I was hot after that interception. That’s not how you win the game,” Elliott said regarding the miscommunication.
The freshman and the whole team never looked back. The Panthers roared back with 27 unanswered points in the first half.
