SAN MARCOS, Texas (AP) Christian Veilleux threw three touchdown passes to Dorian Fleming, Freddie Brock ran for three TDs and Georgia State scored 31 consecutive points Saturday night to beat Texas State 52-44 and snap a seven-game losing streak.

Georgia State (3-8, 1-6 Sun Belt Conference) won for the first time since it beat Vanderbilt 36-32 on Sept. 14.

Jordan McCloud threw a 6-yard touchdown pass to Chris Dawn Jr. that gave Texas State (6-5, 4-3) a 14-7 lead with 12:26 left in the second quarter. Georgia State answered with an eight-play, 75-yard drive that culminated with a 30-yard TD pass from Veilleux to Fleming. Three plays from scrimmage later, Kenyatta Watson intercepted a pass and returned it 30 yards to the 8 to set up an 11-yard TD catch by Fleming that gave the Panthers the lead for good at 21-14 with 1:14 left in the first half.

K.D. McDaniel's strip-sack of McCloud was recovered by Christian Lorenzo at the Texas State 39 with 19 seconds remaining in the second quarter and Braeden McAlister kicked a 52-yard field goal as time expired to make it 31-14 at halftime.

Brock, who scored on a 1-yard run in the first quarter, added a 57-yard TD run in the third and his 16-yard scoring run in the fourth quarter gave Georgia State a 52-29 lead.

McCloud finished 28-of-44 passing for 302 yards and three touchdowns, all to Dawn, with two interceptions for Texas State. Dawn had five receptions for 42 yards.
