The Florida Atlantic seniors who thought they played their final home game were wrong.
On Sunday, the Owls learned they will play Akron in the Boca Raton Bowl at FAU Stadium. The game, which has since adopted the sponsor Cheribundi Tart Cherry, will be played Dec. 19 at 7 p.m.
FAU will play its second straight game at home after defeating North Texas last Saturday in the Conference USA Championship Game. After losing all their three non-conference games _ Navy, Wisconsin, Buffalo _ the Owls went undefeated in league play.
Akron will play in a bowl game for the second time in years.
