ATLANTA (AP) Christian Veilleux completed 26 of 38 passes for 238 yards and two touchdowns, Freddie Brock ran for 73 yards and touchdown on 14 carries and Georgia State beat Chattanooga 24-21 Saturday night.

Brock scored on a 12-yard run that gave Georgia State (1-1) a four-point lead with 7:01 to play. Chattanooga (0-2) went three-and-out (with minus-6 yards) on its next possession and Jyron Gilmore's interception for Panthers with 58 seconds to play sealed it.

After a 41-yard punt by James Allen pinned the Mocs at their own 2, Sam Phillips caught an 84-yard touchdown pass from Chase Artopoeus to make it 21-17 with 11:33 left in the fourth quarter. Georgia State answered with a nine-play, 59-yard drive that culminated with a 10-yard TD run by Brock.

Reggie Davis, who finished with 68 yards rushing, scored on a 2-yard run - set up by a strip-sack of Veilleux by E.J. Thomas that was returned 25 yards by Leroy Harris III to the 10.

Veilleux answered about 3 minutes later with a 22-yard touchdown pass to Ted Hurst that gave Geogia State a 17-14 lead going into the fourth quarter.
