Gibson throws for 192 yards, one TD
Zach Gibson was 16-for-22 passing for 192 yards and one touchdown during Saturday’s 33-26 loss to Appalachian State. He also had 12 rushes for 13 yards. Gibson beat out Christian Veillieux for the starting job in Week 9 and finished the contest with an okay stat line. He was efficient, completing 72.7 percent of his passes without turning the ball over. However, he didn’t have enough volume or touchdowns to make a splash in fantasy. He’ll likely remain under center in Week 10 against UConn.
Evers struggles against Rice
Nick Evers completed 9 of 24 passes for 128 yards and one interception during Saturday’s 17-10 victory over Rice. He also had 11 rushes for negative three yards. Evers only completed 37.5 percent of his throws as the sophomore received plenty of pressure as he was sacked three times. Evers will try to rebound against Georgia State on Nov. 1. The Panthers defense is in the middle of the nation against the pass.

Georgia State vs. Connecticut Prediction
Take UConn. Georgia State has struggled. While they did cover as a 7.5-point road underdog against App State in their last game, it was the first time they covered a number in over a month. Plus, it’s not as if their defense is playing well. They surrendered 33 points to App State, 35 points to Marshall, a respectable 21 points to Old Dominion but 38 points to Georgia Southern.
Meanwhile, the Huskies covered for the fifth time in their last seven games when they beat Rice 17-10 as a 6.5-point favorite. Their defense has been stout all season and I expect them to contain a weak Georgia State offense in check.
