The FAU Owls are looking to open up their season with a victory on Saturday, Sept. 19 against the Georgia Southern Eagles (1-0).
The Eagles are coming off of a nail-biting 27-26 victory against Campbell, where they won after a failed two-point conversion attempt and a botched onside kick by the Fighting Camels following a Hajj-Malik Williams touchdown pass to Jalen Kelsey with 15 seconds left.
Georgia Southern is led by their dual-threat quarterback Shai Werts. The Redshirt Senior passed for 799 yards, nine touchdowns, and one interception on 52.76% passing and ran for 733 yards and five touchdowns on 171 carries in the 2019 campaign.
