What you need to know about the Georgia State Panthers
After alternating losses with wins over its first seven games, Georgia State finished strong in 2020 by winning its last three. That included a 39-21 victory over Western Kentucky in the LendingTree Bowl. It was just the second bowl win for the Panthers, whose program began in 2010 and joined the FBS in 2013.
Georgia State's strength last year was its pass rush as the Panthers posted 34 sacks across 10 games. The Panthers ranked eighth in the nation at bringing down the other team's quarterback although the defensive unit lost Jordan Strachan. With 9.5 sacks, Strachan led the Sun Belt last year but he has since transferred to South Carolina.
What you need to know about the Army Black Knights
Speaking of defense, no one played it better than Army in 2020 as the Black Knights led the nation in total defense. Army allowed just 275.3 yards per game, while its 14.8 points allowed per game ranked second in the country. It was over an eight-point improvement from the 23.0 points per game Army allowed in 2019.
Army's offensive identity is firmly established on the ground as it averaged fewer than 45 passing yards per game in 2020. The team's top five rushers return, so topping the 272.8 rushing yards the team averaged last year isn't out of the question. The Black Knights had two games with over 400 rushing yards, another two with over 300 yards and four more with over 200 rushing yards in 2020.
