Albany State to Face Shorter in Week 11 Football Matchup

ALBANY, Ga. — Albany State University football will travel to Rome, Georgia, to face Shorter University on Saturday, November 14, at 1 p.m. The game will be the Golden Rams' 11th contest of the 2026 season.

The match up is part of a two-year football partnership between the Southern Intercollegiate Athletic Conference (SIAC) and Conference Carolinas, designed to increase NCAA Division II postseason opportunities. Under the agreement, the SIAC selects two teams to play Week 11 games against Conference Carolinas opponents. Teams with a .500 record or better against Division II opponents receive priority in the selection process. Conference Carolinas institutions host the games in 2026.

Albany State finished the regular season 5-5 overall, 5-3 in SIAC play and 5-4 against Division II opponents.

"This is a good opportunity for our program. It gives our seniors one more chance to put on the Albany State uniform and compete, while giving our younger players another week to practice, develop and get better. We're looking forward to taking on Shorter and representing Albany State in Rome," stressed ASU Head Coach David Bowser.

"This is a good opportunity for our student-athletes to compete one more time this season," said Director of Athletics, Dr. Kristene Kelly. "We appreciate the SIAC and Conference Carolinas for putting this partnership in place, and we look forward to traveling to Rome and taking on Shorter.

Additional game-day and ticket information will be announced when available.
