FAU hosts its first game of the 2021 season on Saturday at 3:30 p.m. against the Georgia Southern Eagles.

After losing the season opener at Gainesville, head coach Willie Taggart will want to make adjustments on offense and defense for the same mistakes to not happen again.

Georgia Southern had the clear upper hand in last season’s matchup, taking down FAU 20-3. It was the first time FAU failed to record a touchdown since the 2016 season.
