(Stats Perform) - A pair of tough nonconference games figure to strengthen ETSU for the always-competitive Southern Conference race this year.

The Buccaneers have visits to FBS power Georgia (Sept. 12) and FCS quarterfinalist Austin Peay (Sept. 26) as part of their 11-game schedule, which was announced Monday. They will play five home games at Greene Stadium.

ETSU, which made the playoffs in 2018, finished 3-9 overall and 1-7 in the SoCon last season.
