The Georgia State football team takes the field |
Last night kicked off the college football season, and several of our residents took the field for the first time this year representing their Georgia State Panthers. Coming off a 3-8 2011 campaign, the Panthers took on the South Carolina State Bulldogs in the first of six scheduled home games this season. While the outcome was not a favorable one (Ga State lost 33-6), a stoundout performance by one of the Panthers, gave State fans something to find solice in.
Running Back Donald Russell had a strong showing, rushing for
120 yards and averaging 10 yards per carry. Donald, a transfer from Kentucky, carved up the South Carolina State defense consistently throughout the course of the game. If the Panthers hope to have a winning season this year, Russell will have to remain consistent as a formidable offensive weapon for the Panthers.
