BUIES CREEK, N.C. — Iain Vance kicked a 30-yard field goal with one second remaining to give Georgia State a 24-21 victory over Campbell on Saturday.

Georgia State (2-2) took a 7-0 lead when Darren McCray returned the opening kickoff 96 yards for a touchdown, and it never trailed. It was the first win over a Football Championship Subdivision team for the Panthers, in their first season of football.

The Camels (1-3) answered all three Georgia State touchdowns with touchdowns of their own, tying it at 21 on quarterback Daniel Polk's 7-yard run with 3:14 left, his second score of the game.

Starting from its 24, Georgia State then drove to the Campbell 13 in nine plays, including three completions by Drew Little and a 15-yard Rosevelt Watson run.

Little was 16-for-23 passing for 163 yards. Rashaun Brown led Campbell with 133 yards on 19 carries.
