BOCA RATON – Florida Atlantic football will welcome Southern Miss to Boca Raton and travel to San Antonio to face UTSA in 2019, Conference USA announced on Wednesday.
The Owls now know all of their opponents for next season.
Conference USA teams play every team in their division and two teams in their opposing division for a total of eight conference games.
The Owls defeated both teams in their only meetings with the West Division foes in conference play. FAU downed UTSA 41-37 in 2014 at home. Florida Atlantic defeated Southern Miss 41-7 in Hattiesburg during the 2013 season.
Southern Miss won its season finale in 2018 to become bowl eligible, but the Golden Eagles didn’t receive a bowl bid.
Two of the Roadrunners three wins in 2018 came against conference foes.
Games against Southern Miss and UTSA appear to represent a bit of a scheduling break for the Owls. In 2018 FAU traveled to North Texas and hosted Louisiana Tech – two teams heading to bowls. FAU lost both of those games.
FAU will open 2019 at Ohio St., followed by a home game against UCF. The Owls will follow the game with the Knights by traveling to Ball St. to complete a home-and-home series, then welcome Wagner to Howard Schnellenberger Field before entering C-USA play.
Within their division, FAU will host games against FIU, Middle Tennessee and Marshall. The Owls will travel to Western Kentucky, Old Dominion and Charlotte.
