College Football Scores: Georgia State 41-7 Panthers

Category Football | Friday, September 3rd, 2010

Lee felt even better when he scored the first touchdown in school history Thursday night, sparking the Panthers to a 41-7 rout of Shorter in an inaugural game that also marked Bill Curry’s return to coaching after a 14-year absence.
Everyone was amazed by the crowd of 30,237 at the Georgia Dome, nearly all of them decked out in Panther blue. The student turnout was so large they opened up sections of the club level in the mammoth stadium, best known as home of the NFL’s Atlanta Falcons.
This from a school that averaged barely over 1,000 a game for its men’s basketball team last season.

Lee scored another touchdown in the third quarter, and Drew Little tossed a pair of TD passes to lead the Panthers, who are playing this season as an NCAA Football Championship Subdivision independent. They had no trouble against Shorter (0-2), a tiny NAIA school from northwest Georgia that lost its opening game to West Alabama 37-7.
