Ted Hurst came down with a grab against a Commodores defender, tumbling his way in for the go-ahead score. That put the Panthers up 36-32 with 15 seconds left as the defense held on for the victory. You can view the touchdown from Veilleux to Hurst below.

The victory improved Georgia State to 2-1 on the young season and also notched a $10,000 bonus for first-year coach Dell McGee. According to Steve Berkowitz of USA Today, that is the amount that he earns for every win against a Power 4 opponent.
The Panthers already dropped a game to Georgia Tech earlier this year, so this was the last opportunity this season for McGee to earn the bonus. A former Georgia Bulldogs assistant, this is his first season as a head coach at the college level.
