What are your thoughts on Georgia State Football going into the 2025 season?

  • Wasn’t sure if Dell McGee was a good hire or not and still don’t know. Don’t have much expectations, so a bowl game would be a huge success, but I’m not betting on it. Think they’re in the Eastern cellar.
  • This season has to be better than last. The talent level is way too high. Only question is the coaching. I’m not saying they aren’t good coaches, but they need to prove it.
  • suck
  • It’s a building program, 5 wins
  • Bad
  • I get the sense that the Panthers are going to make some noise in several games, but until proven otherwise, I just don’t they are up the the East’s standards I terms of competitiveness.  But if they can shake down ODU, Marshall, and Coastal, who knows.  They seem to always upset someone hey shouldn’t, so 4-2 in the division is possible
  • They beat people they shouldn’t
  • Still in building mode
  • I’m not sure what to expect of them this year.  They went 1-7 in SBC play last year, but they also beat a Vanderbilt team that had wins over Virginia Tech, Alabama, Auburn, and Kentucky with narrow losses to #7 Missouri, #5 Texas, and LSU.  Their recruiting picked up, but I think we are another year away from them breaking out.
  • Will struggle.  Don’t even want to guess. 
  • We owe them one from last year’s implosion
  • Not very good
  • Really tough season ahead
  • Are they still here?
  • 6-6
  • Not sure
  • Near the bottom
  • The usual ..less that .500.
  • Will be slightly better.
  • I just don’t see commuter schools ever being good at football, especially with an inexperienced coach
  • Not going to be good
  • Don’t think Y2 is going to be a whole lot better than Y1 was. GSU just has such a steep hill to get over to win the East.
  • Some talent but not good enough to make noise
  • Dell McGee was a great hire for GSU.  Last year’s 3-9 was actually impressive considering what he was handed on day one.  I look for GSU to take a big step forward this season but the win total may not show it.  Veilleux will be the key on offense.  He will need to limit turn overs and try to keep his defense off the field.  Look for GSU to pound the rock with a pair of 4-star portal transfers but will it be enough?  The defense is the big question mark to me with lots of new faces in the secondary.
  • Lower tier.
  • Good talent and Coach
  • Remember when their fans thought they were a lock for the American?
  • Solid like a dehydrated turd on the sidewalk.
  • No idea
  • Long year
  • Great recruiting class, but they won’t see the fruits of that for at least another season (if they can hold onto them). Likely looking at another losing season.
  • Negative
  • Pounce is cool. I miss the money drops.
  • Tons and tons of pure talent.  But is the coaching there?  Idk… on paper they should be good, but my heart is telling me they’ll struggle again.
  • Meh.
  • So So
  • They have to be better right??
  • I don’t really think about Georgia State football.
  • Going to be a long season
  • Another year finishing at the bottom of the East.
  • Last place as usual
