The Commodores begin as the clear front-runners with a huge -11 point spread; it is easy to see why. They have had their issues in covering spreads historically, but the moneyline is certainly aggressive putting faith in the oddsmakers. On the other hand, the Panthers at +350 with a +11 outlook even with recent poor performance suggest that they have faith even as underdogs.
Diego Pavia QB vs. Christian Veilleux QB
Diego Pavia has been a significant contributor on offense for Vanderbilt, completing 75.9 percent of his passes and sporting a high 177.7 quarterback rating. He also throws deep, evidenced by a long of 41 yards in which he threw no interception, completing two touchdowns, showing he was consistent and had prospects on the field. On the other hand, Pavia stripped off the ball on four instances, leading to a loss of 31 yards due to his being sacked which is an alarming trend playing against a defense that relies on constant pressure.
Christian Veilleux of Georgia State plays in an opposite manner, with a completion rate of 62.5 and a quarterback rating of 128.5. His success rating thus far in the season as regards yards per attempt is 6.2. However, a number such as this needs Gourley’s pressure- only sacked once so far. The capability of Veilleux to hold a cooling head might be instrumental in breaking through the stringent defense system of Vanderbilt aggressively.
Commodore Ground and Air Attack
Sedrick Alexander and Quincy Skinner Jr. have been vital cogs in the offensive wheel for Vanderbilt. With 123 yards rushing and two touchdowns, Alexander offers a different dimension to Pavia’s air attack. Skinner received 86 yards from six catches, one being a touchdown, showing he is a dependable weapon who can make key plays in the offense. Their contributions will prove useful in overcoming the defense of the Panthers.
Panther’s Response on the Field
For Georgia State, Freddie Brock and Ted Hurst are instrumental in their offensive efforts. Brock’s impressive 5.6 yards per rush and Hurst’s 109 receiving yards showcase their ability to make significant plays. Their performances against Vanderbilt’s defense, which has shown vulnerabilities despite their overall success, will be crucial for keeping the Panthers in the game.
