THE KICKOFF:
Winners of four straight games and bowl eligible for the third time in the last five seasons, Georgia State travels to ULM Saturday for a 5 p.m. ET game.

> The Panthers were off last Saturday after rushing for a school-record 390 yards, including 242 yards by Tra Barnett, in their 52-33 win over Troy on Oct. 26. ULM is coming off a 48-41 loss to Arkansas State.

> Georgia State, which began playing football in 2010 and moved to FBS in 2014, has earned bowl eligibility for the third time in five seasons. The Panthers played in their first bowl game in 2015 in the AutoNation Cure Bowl and then made a return trip to the Orlando, Fla., bowl in 2017, when GSU knocked off Western Kentucky for the first bowl win in school history.

> A two-time Sun Belt Offensive Player of the Week and a member of the Watch List for the Manning Award, Ellington is second in the Sun Belt in passing (221.4 ypg), TD passes (18) and total offense (285.4 ypg, No. 15 FBS).
