The Cornhuskers and the Eagles are squaring off for the first time ever. Georgia Southern is a member of the Sun Belt Conference after making the jump from FCS to FBS in 2014.
Last week, the Huskers were knotted up at 17 against North Dakota, an FCS member, before reeling off 21 straight points in the second half for a victory. Running back Anthony Grant helped solidify his status in the backfield with 23 carries for 189 yards and two touchdowns, earning Co-Big Ten Offensive Player of the Week honors for his efforts. Fellow tailback Ajay Allen tallied 60 yards and 11 carries and a score. The Huskers have played Sun Belt opponents 17 times and won 15 of those games.
In their first game under new head coach Clay Helton, Georgia Southern won in convincing fashion over Morgan St., 59-7. The Eagles put up over 500 yards of offense. Last season, Georgia Southern went 3-9 and the program is 0-2 all-time against Big Ten foes.
