Here are 10 things about Georgia Southern's upcoming non-conference game at Georgia Tech that will get you ready for the game, which kicks off at 12:30 p.m. (ET) inside Bobby Dodd Stadium and can be seen on the Regional Sports Network (affiliates):

10: Georgia Southern has lost just 10 of 32 games in the modern era against teams from the state of Georgia (21-10-1).

9: Younghoe Koo has made all nine of his field goal attempts this year, including a 53-yarder last week at A-State.

8: Eight players who started against Georgia Tech in 2014 (23 who played) are still on Georgia Southern's roster in 2016.

7: Saturday's game is the third of seven games Georgia Southern will play in Georgia this season.

6: Georgia Southern has lost its last six non-conference road games since winning at Florida in 2013.

5: Four of the Eagles' last five games against Power 5 schools have been decided by six points or less: a six-point win at Florida (2013), a one-point loss at NCSU (2014), a four-point loss at GT (2014), and a six-point loss in OT at Georgia (2015).

4: This will be Georgia Southern's fourth game played all-time in the Atlanta Metro area. GS is 2-1 in those games.
