STATESBORO - Georgia Southern Director of Athletics Tom Kleinlein announced Thursday the addition of a home-and-home football series with Florida Atlantic University. FAU will travel to Statesboro on Sept. 19, 2020 and GS will return the trip to Boca Raton on Sept. 25, 2021.
"We're excited to announce this series with FAU," Kleinlein said. "Getting Group of 5 programs to come play in front of the Eagle Nation is something our fans deserve and something we're aiming to do on a regular basis. Also, when you look at our recruiting base, it makes sense to play a game in Florida and gain exposure in such a fertile area for talent.
