Shawn Elliott and Georgia State Win Another Bowl Game

[kingofnerf]

After winning the LendingTree Bowl 39-21 over Western Kentucky, Georgia State evened its bowl record at 2-2, including 2-1 under head coach Shawn Elliott, who has guided the Panthers to bowls in three of his four seasons. Both wins have come against WKU.

Georgia State's 6-4 final record is the best winning percentage in program history and gives the Panthers back-to-back winning seasons for the first time.

The Panthers will enter the 2021 season with a three-game winning streak (South Alabama, Georgia Southern, Western Kentucky).

Georgia State's average of 33.3 points per game is the highest scoring average in program history, bettering last year's mark of 31.2 ppg. The 2020 squad ranks second in rushing yards per game (194.0) and third in total offense per game (424.3).

The defense allowed an average of 136.7 rushing yards per game, just missing the school record of 136.4 ypg, set in 2017. This year's average of 3.86 yards per opponent rush is a record, well ahead of the 4.13 yards per rush allowed in 2017.

The Panthers held WKU to 284 yards of offense, which ranks among the top 10 performances in school history.

Shawn continues to learn how to coach and win.

Good on him.
