STATESBORO – The Georgia Southern football schedule released Tuesday is the one that features fresh new faces along with some familiar faces in new places. It's the kind of schedule that Eagle fans could have only dreamed of when making a move to the FCS in 2014.
The Eagles host six homes games, and all are on a Saturday for the second year in a row. The Eagles play nine teams that competed in a bowl game or FCS postseason last year. They'll play a primetime mid-week game against the defending conference champions and they'll visit one of the more storied venues in college football.
