The underdog Georgia State Panthers got on the board first last Saturday against favored North Carolina State.

It was cause for celebration on the GSU sidelines. Maybe a little too much celebration.

Head coach Shawn Elliott revealed Wednesday he suffered a torn right biceps from a post-TD fist bump in the eventual 41-7 loss.

Elliott is expected to have surgery Monday. The Panthers play at Memphis on Friday.

However, he's not the first Georgia State coach to suffer an injury while celebrating.

Men's basketball coach Ron Hunter tore his Achilles tendon after his team won the Sun Belt Conference tournament title in 2015.

With the assistance of a wheeled stool, Hunter coached the Panthers to an upset win over No. 3 seed Baylor in the first round of the NCAA Tournament that year.
