Schedule subject to change.

The two schools are meeting in Atlanta for the second straight year after the Panthers’ 20-9 win last season. After opening the season by facing back-to-back Power 5 foes South Carolina and North Carolina, Georgia State can take away plenty of positives on offense and defense in the two close losses.

In the season opener, Georgia State led at South Carolina 14-12 in the fourth quarter before falling 35-14. The Panthers rushed for 200 yards and

outgained the Gamecocks 311 to 306 total yards, but hurt themselves by allowing two special teams touchdowns. The GSU defense held South Carolina to 79 yards rushing and 306 total yards while allowing only 20 points (including two 50-plus field goals).

Super senior CB Quavian White led the defensive effort against South Carolina with two interceptions, two tackles for loss including a sack, a pass breakup and five tackles. With his two picks, White equalled teammate Antavious Lane for the current GSU record with nine career interceptions.

The GSU defense has forced five turnovers in the first two games with three interceptions and two fumble recoveries. That gives the Panthers 15 takeaways over the last six games.

PARC

HOME OF THE GEORGIA STATE PANTHERS

CENTER STADIUM

2022 GEORGIA STATE FOOTBALL 15

The facility was renamed Center Park Credit Union Stadium as part of a 15-year, $21 million agreement between Center Parc Credit Union, a division of Atlanta Postal Credit Union (APCU), and Georgia State Athletics, announced on Aug. 11, 2020.

Center Parc Stadium features 25,000 seats for football, a FieldTurf playing surface on “Pete” Petit Field and dramatic views of the Atlanta skyline. The conversion process incorporated the existing seating areas on the north, west and south sides of the stadium with a new grandstand constructed on the east side, formerly the outfield.

The first baseball game at Turner Field was played on April 4, 1997 as the Braves defeated the Chicago Cubs 5-4. The stadium hosted the National League Division Series a total of 11 times (1997–2005, 2010, 2013) and the NL Championship Series four times (1997–1999, 2001), as well as one World Series (1999), one NL Wild Card Game (2012, the first in baseball history), and the 2000 MLB All-Star Game.

Following the Olympic Games, much of the north end of the stadium was removed in the conversion to the 49,000-seat baseball park that served as the home of the Atlanta Braves from 1997 through 2016.

CENTER PARC CREDIT UNION STADIUM is the home of Georgia State football. The Panthers took over this iconic property, formerly Centennial Olympic Stadium and then Turner Field and venue for Major League Baseball’s Atlanta Braves, for the 2017 season.

Center Parc Stadium was originally constructed as the 85,000-seat Centennial Olympic Stadium and used for the 1996 Centennial Olympic Games, including the Opening and Closing Ceremonies and the track and field competition. Ground was broken on the stadium on July 10, 1993.

The Panthers enter their sixth season in this impressive venue, which also houses the Football Operations Suite, completed in 2019. All of the program’s day-to-day operations are at Center Parc Stadium, including weight room, meetings rooms, coaches’ offices, athletic training room and equipment room.

The Braves played their final game at Turner Field, a 1-0 victory over the Detroit Tigers, on Oct. 2, 2016. In November 2016, the Board of Regents approved Georgia State University’s purchase of 38 acres of the 68-acre site for $22.8 million, and the conversion process began in earlyGeorgia2017.

State opened its new home against Tennessee State before 24,333 fans on Aug. 31, 2017.

Since his hire in August 2014, multiple new facilities have opened, while student-athletes continue their impressive commitment to academic performance, highlighted by a record 3.40 GPA in spring 2020. Georgia State has received the Sun Belt’s Institutional Graduation Award twice under his tenure.

his wife, Lindsay, have a son and daughter, 24-year-old Harrison, a graduate of Hampden-Sydney College who is now obtaining a dual Master of Business Administration and Sports Administration at Ohio University, and 21-year-old Branan, who attends Centre College. Lindsay Cobb was an All-ACC goalkeeper for the NC State women’s soccer team from 1987-90 and is currently an assistant women’s soccer coach at Emory University.

At App State, Cobb helped create $50 million in facilities improvements as the Mountaineers’ fundraising efforts that reached all-time highs, including surpassing the $3 million mark. The jewel of the construction projects was the seven-story Appalachian Athletics Center and the campaign also produced new homes for Mountaineer baseball, softball, and soccer, as well as a new indoor practice facility.

The 54-year-old Cobb was a four-year letterwinner as a football player at NC State. He graduated with honors with a bachelor’s degree in business administration in 1990 and earned a master’s degree in sports administration from Ohio in 1992. As a senior center, he was named to the AllACC second team and was an All-ACC academic selection. He was awarded the prestigious Atlantic Coast Conference’s Jim Tatum Award, which recognizes the senior football player with the highestCobbGPA.and

His leadership helped build and maintain a high-performing program at App State. The Mountaineers won three consecutive Football Championship Subdivision (FCS) national championships, the first three-peat in FCS history. They also brought home eight consecutive Commissioner’s Cup championships (top men’s sports program in the Southern Conference) and four Germann Cup championships (top women’s program). Together, they earned the men’s and women’s awards in the same academic year four times.

Among Cobb’s biggest projects has been participating in the acquisition, purchase, and re-purposing of Turner Field, transforming the former Major League Baseball venue into the home of Georgia State football, now named Center Parc Credit Union Stadium in recognition of the $21 million, 15–year naming rights agreement reached in 2020. Phase One of the project was completed in August 2017 and includes new east side seating and an artificial surface field for the football team. Phase Two moved all football operations to the stadium in 2019 as part of a $300 million plan to transform the 68-acre site.

In fall 2022, the men’s and women’s basketball teams will begin play in the new Georgia State University Convocation Center, and future construction plans include the completion of an ‘Athletics Neighborhood’ as part of the development including a baseball stadium, softball stadium and track and field venue. The The GSU Soccer Complex for the men’s and women’s programs was completed in 2021, and the Bobby Jones Golf Practice Facility opened for the men’s and women’s golf teams in 2019.

Before returning to Atlanta in September 2014, Cobb spent nine years as the Director of Athletics at Appalachian State. Previously he worked for six years honing his business acumen with the Atlanta Sports Council, the Chick- Fil-A Peach Bowl, and the Georgia Dome, before returning to his alma mater, NC State.
