Last year, a 34-yard touchdown pass to Derwin Burgess Jr. with a minute left and a late interception secured the largest second-half comeback in the history of Allen E. Paulson Stadium as Georgia Southern rallied to score three touchdowns in the final 6:32 to stun Marshall 24-23.

- The Eagles are 5-7 all-time against teams from West Virginia and 1-4 in games played in the Mountaineer State. The Eagles are 0-3 at Joan C. Edwards Stadium. Their lone win came at Fairfield Stadium in 1990, the last season of use for the stadium.
- Camden Brown needs 57 receiving yards to set a new single-season school record for yards in a season and 108 yards to become the first 1,000-yard receiver in Southern history.
- Both Georgia Southern and Marshall come into the game sitting at 5-6 overall. Both teams need one win to become bowl eligible.
