What you should know
The Georgia Southern Eagles and the Appalachian State Mountaineers will face off in a sun belt matchup on November 26 at 6:00 p.m. ET at Allen E. Paulson Stadium. If the last meeting’s nothing-to-nothing final is any indication, this duel will be decided by the defense.
Georgia Southern came up short against the Marshall Thundering Herd last week, losing 23-10. QB Kyle Vantrease had a memorable play, but not in the way you’d like: Despite a touchdown, he threw an interception and fumbled the ball once for just 5.26 yards per pass attempt.
Meanwhile, Appalachian State beat the Old Dominion Monarchs 27-14 last week. The team accumulated 24 points in the first half and rolled onto those for the win. RB Ahmani Marshall was the offensive star of the game for the Mountaineers, rushing for a TD and 137 yards on 19 carries.
The Eagles are expected to lose this next one by 4.5. Those burned by picking them against the spread last week should consider that the team has yet to drop consecutive games against the spread this season.
Georgia Southern is now 5-6 while Appalachian State sits at a mirror image of 6-5. Two offensive stats to keep an eye on: Georgia Southern has the eighth most passing yards per game in the nation at 322.3. The Mountaineers showed their own offensive firepower as they entered the contest with 28 passing touchdowns, good for the 13th-best finish in the nation.
