BOCA RATON — When Lane Kiffin’s Florida Atlantic team goes on the road to play Central Florida in September, the up-and-coming powers will square off on a Friday night, UCF and the American Athletic Conference announced Tuesday.
Originally, the second-ever matchup between FAU and UCF was set to take place on Sept. 22, but it has been pushed back a day. Neither the game time nor the broadcast information has yet to be announced.
FAU’s matchup with UCF will be a battle between two of college football’s more surprising teams from 2017, with the Owls winning more games in their first season under Kiffin (11) than they did from 2014-16 (nine).
