Penalty yards in last two Panthers and Commodores matchup
In the rematch, the Commodores benefited from more Georgia State errors.
The graph compares penalty yards committed by Georgia State and Vanderbilt in their matchups during 2024 and 2025. In 2024, Georgia State was flagged for 56 penalty yards, while Vanderbilt accumulated a much higher total of 85 yards, indicating discipline issues that likely cost them field position. The following year, in 2025, both teams saw an increase in penalty yardage, with Georgia State nearly doubling its total to 109 yards and Vanderbilt climbing to 99 yards. This suggests that the 2025 game was notably more undisciplined on both sides, with penalties playing a larger role in the flow of the contest compared to the previous year.
