Georgia State will host the first FBS football game this year when it takes on Abilene Christian at the Georgia Dome on Wednesday, Aug. 27.

The NCAA granted Georgia State a one-time exemption to play on Wednesday, a day before FBS teams are allowed to play.

The exemption was asked because the Georgia Dome will host two Chick-fil-A Kickoff Games, one on Thursday and the other on Saturday. Additionally, there may be a Falcons exhibition game at the Dome that Friday, the 29th.
