The last time the Georgia Southern football team faced their rival Appalachian State, they walked off with a win in the rain to end a three-game losing streak against the Mountaineers.
The Eagles beat out the Mountaineers in a 34-14 blowout, allowing them to de-throne the then-ranked ASU- adding a win over a ranked team to the Eagle’s accolades.
There’s no denying there’s a mutual hatred between the two teams, as their rivalry is known as “a feeling deeper than hate”, which just made the win so much sweeter.
“It was my first real victory experience as a freshman at southern,” former GS student Kayla Gates said.
