When Appalachian State has the ball: The Mountaineers will try to establish their running game with Jalin Moore, who gained 257 yards in a 45-37 win over Akron last week. Moore subbed for an injured Marcus Cox, who has been

listed as day-to-day. If Cox can play, he’ll be the starter against a Georgia State defense that is last at stopping the run in the Sun Belt Conference at 325.3 yards per game.

When Georgia State University has the ball: The Panthers will put the ball in the air as much as possible.

Georgia State is last in the Sun Belt at rushing the ball at 47.5 yards per game, but is eighth

in passing with 202.0 yards per game. Conner Manning leads the Panthers’ offense with 567 passing yards, an average of 189.0 per game.
