*Home Games in Bold

Here is a statement from Director of Athletics Cheryl Levick - "We're pleased with the quality and variety of opponents, and the structure of the schedule sets up well for our team and our fans. After such an overwhelmingly positive response to our inaugural season, we can't wait to kick off year two. Our attendance and fan support have been tremendous, the Georgia Dome has been a wonderful partner, and we look for continued growth in 2011."
The full story from Georgia State can be found here.

The home schedule should be much appreciated by fans planning to attend the games. After seeing six home games in a seven week period to kick-off the 2010 schedule, the 2011 schedule of 2 home games in each month of September, October and November is a much welcomed change. The only consecutive home games are in the first two weeks. Job well done to Levick and company for giving us a balance schedule!

Stay tuned for Ben's initial thoughts on the strength of schedule for the 2011 season!
