BOCA RATON, FL - The Sun Belt Conference (SBC) recently released the 2011 television schedule for Florida Atlantic University football. Three FAU games will be televised, with one scheduled to air nationally and the other two games to be played on the Sun Belt Network.
FAU's first televised game will be against the Michigan State University Spartans on ESPN/ESPN2 on Saturday, September 10 at 11 a.m. The two games on the Sun Belt Network will air on Saturday, October 8 when FAU plays at the University of North Texas, as well as on Saturday, October 22 when Middle Tennessee State University travels to FAU's new on-campus football stadium in Boca Raton to take on the Owls. The Owls begin their season on Saturday, September 3 against the University of Florida in Gainesville before heading to MSU. FAU will then play at Auburn University on Saturday, September 24 before starting their SBC schedule on Saturday, October 1 at the University of Louisiana.
The SBC also recently named its Pre-Season All-Conference Team. Two FAU players were selected for the honors, including redshirt senior and defensive back Marcus Bartels, as well as punter Mickey Groody. Bartels will be returning for the Owls for the second-consecutive year as FAU's leading tackler, and Groody led the SBC last year in average yards per punt (45.17) and opponent's average yards per return (6.37).
The Owls will begin their home schedule on Saturday, October 15 against Western Kentucky University on the opening day of the University's new on-campus stadium. The stadium, a $70 million project, is a 30,000-seat open-air stadium, slated to feature 6,000 premium seats, including 24 suites, 26 loge boxes, 1,000 premier club seats and 4,000 priority club seats, and the latest, state-of-the-art amenities.
