Abilene Christian University’s second full season as a member of NCAA Division I begins in only six weeks when the Wildcats travel to Atlanta to play Georgia State in a Wednesday night game on Aug. 27 in the Georgia Dome.
It will be the first college football game of the 2014 season involving a FBS (Football Bowl Subdivision) team. GSU is in its first year as a FBS institution in 2014, while ACU has a FCS (Football Championship Subdivision) program.
Four games in 2014 will be televised: Georgia State on ESPNU, Troy and McNeese State on ESPN3, and Incarnate Word on the Southland Conference Television Network as the league’s Game of the Week.
