The 2012 Georgia State Panthers football team represented
Division I FBS in 2012. As a result of these moves, the 2012 season was the first and only year that they competed in the CAA for football. Although not qualifying, they were ineligible for the FCS playoffs
as a transitional FBS team. The Panthers finished the season 1–10, 1–7 in CAA play.
Season summary
- The 2012 season was the first and only season that Georgia State participated as a member of the Colonial Athletic Association. Beginning 2013, the Panthers will compete as an FBS transitional team as a part of the Sun Belt Conference.
- During the August 30 season opener against South Carolina State University, sophomore punter Matt Hubbard made the equivalent of an FCS and FBS single game punting distance average record of 62.2 yards. However, due to GSU's reclassifying status, it is neither considered FBS nor FCS, and therefore the record does not count in either of those categories.[1]
- This season marked Bill Curry's final year as a college football head coach.[2] He was replaced by Trent Miles, former Indiana State head coach.[3]
