Of Note:

• This will be the fifth football meeting between Georgia Southern and Maine, the second non-playoff meeting as the first three all came in NCAA I-AA/FCS Playoffs and were played in Statesboro at Paulson Stadium
• The first meeting came in 1987 in the Round of 16 with the Eagles winning 31-28. The second meeting came in 2002 in the quarterfinals with the Eagles rolling to a 31-7 win. The third meeting came in 2011 in the quarterfinal round with GS taking a 35-23 win after the Eagles held the ball for 42:24.
• The two last met in 2019 with the Eagles downing the sixth-ranked (FCS) Black Bears 26-18 on a day with temperatures in the 90s and Hurricane Dorian looming off the coast of Georgia. Matt LaRoche (154), Justin Tomlin (132) and Logan Wright (114) all ran for over 100 yards, marking the first time an Eagle trio has done that since 2012 at Western Carolina.
• GS outgained Maine 395-52 on the ground, including 274-13 in the second half. GS had seven fumbles, including a number of errant snaps, but only lost one as each team lost a fumble inside the Red Zone
