The 2019 Georgia Southern football schedule was released Friday morning showing six home Saturday games this upcoming season- a first since 2013.
The Eagles have recognized this scheduled has proved to be one of the most difficult FBS slates in program history with at least two nationally televised games.
The Eagles will open their season traveling to play against SEC team Louisiana State University in Baton Rouge Aug. 31. LSU went 10-3 in their 2018 season, including a win over the then-undefeated University of Georgia. The Eagle’s first home game will be played Sept.7 against Maine.
"This schedule, on paper, is shaping up to be really tough, but we're up for the challenge," Head Coach Chad Lunsford said in a press release.
