Georgia State does not travel to Charlotte
The Panthers postponed their game last Saturday at Charlotte “out of an abundance of caution,” the school stated in their press release Friday afternoon. However, the school announced Saturday that the results came from human error. The Panthers’ first four games of the season were all scheduled to be on national television. Their opponent for this week, the East Carolina Pirates, canceled their first game of the season against Marshall after an outbreak on the team. All signs point to the Panthers and Pirates still kicking off at noon on Saturday. Athletics Director Charlie Cobb announced the school received word of four positive COVID-19 tests on Friday afternoon.
