Florida Atlantic and coach Lane Kiffin will visit both participants in last season's Conference USA championship during a three-week stretch in the 2017 season, the league announced on Thursday afternoon.
In the toughest stretch of its season, FAU visits reigning conference champion Western Kentucky on Oct. 28 and West division champion Louisiana Tech on Nov. 11. In between those games, the Owls host Marshall on Nov. 4.
Western Kentucky embarrassed FAU 52-3 last season in the worst home loss in program history. Louisiana Tech has won nine games in each of the last three seasons and has never faced the Owls.
