“It’s been different things,” ULM coach Matt Viator said. “The last few weeks had some chances, but we haven’t been able to make the pay when we’ve needed.”
That may be good news for Georgia State, which has scored on its first possession in three of the last four games. The Panthers could use a quick strike and a fast start to help erase the bad memories of last week.
“We’re going to come out and try to establish the offensive game plan on the first possession,” Elliott said.
Last week was a rare hiccup for the Panthers, who entered the game leading the Sun Belt with 42 points per game. They struggled in all areas – running for just 75 yards, 161 below their average, and passing for only 30 yards, 199.2 below their average. The defense wasn’t any better. The unit that has twice allowed 45 or fewer yards rushing this season was gashed for 250 yards.
“Every single one in our meeting (on Monday) took ownership of it — players, staff, coaches, myself,” Elliott said. “We wanted to make sure we knew it was on all of us. There was no finger pointing. We all shoulder the load and move on.”
Viator said, “When I watched the tape, I felt for them, because any time you fall behind early it changes what you’re doing. (Georgia State) got behind 21-0 quick, but you look at previous games against the Cajuns or Arkansas State or whoever, they’ve been really good and that’s the team we expect to see.”
Georgia State is 2-3 against ULM, including a 45-31 road loss last year. The Panthers ran for 414 yards in that game, but lost quarterback Dan Ellington to a knee injury on the last play of the first half. Georgia State won the only previous meeting in Atlanta, winning 46-14 in 2018.
