CHRISTIAN VEILLEUX NEWS

Decent in relief Veilleux was 17-for-35 passing for 245 yards, one touchdown and one interception during Saturday's 27-20 defeat against Arkansas State.

Impact Veilleux was pushed into the contest when Zach Gibson exited with an apparent leg injury late in the first half. It was the first extended action Veilleux has had since Week 7, shortly before Gibson supplanted him as the starter. Should Gibson miss time, Veilleux would likely serve as Georgia State's starting quarterback.
