The Lane Kiffin Era of Florida Atlantic football will get underway with a game against a team that, barring injuries, might have played in a New Year’s Six bowl last season and another that won the Cotton Bowl.
The Owls’ 2017 schedule, the first under the newly hired Kiffin, was announced by the Conference USA office today.
*Kiffin: FAU was unique opportunity

The home schedule features two non-conference opponents and four C-USA matchups. The Owls will open the season at home versus Navy on Saturday, Sept.
