Darren McCray blocked Matt Hubbard’s punt, which was recovered and returned by Blair Roberts for a 36-yard touchdown. Paul Morant got the second block, which was recovered at the 19 and set up a short drive that culminated in an 8-yard TD pass from DeMarco to Reid Evans.
DeMarco added a 4-yard touchdown run with 4:27 in the third quarter and a 2-yard TD run with 10:39 to play.
Georgia State (1-1) scored on a 2-yard run by Donald Russell and a 5-yard run by Travis Evans, as well as a 26-yard field goal by Christian Benvenuto.
