Of Note:

• Georgia Southern and App State have met 40 previous times with the Mountaineers holding a 22-17-1 lead in a series that dates back to 1932. This is the first time since 2019 that the two are not playing in the final game of the regular season.
• The Eagles are just 5-12 all-time at Kidd Brewer Stadium and just 5-15-1 all-time in Boone.
• The two schools battled as members of the Southern Conference from 1993-2013. The teams have played every year since 1993, including twice in 2001. The 40 games played makes App Georgia Southern's most-played opponent in program history.
• Georgia Southern and App State combined to win nine FCS (I-AA) national championships.
• Eagle starting linebacker and captain Brendan Harrington spent six seasons in Boone playing for the Mountaineers before transferring to Georgia Southern this season. He was a two-time captain, totaling 167 tackles in 50 games (with 28 starts) from 2019-24.
