Football Preps for Homecoming and WKU
11/6/2018 5:14:00 PM | Football
It's homecoming week for Florida Atlantic University and its football team, and the team has begun preparation to face Conference USA member WKU. While the Owls will welcome home all FAU alumni, a special recognition will be given to the 2008 Motor City Bowl Championship team. FAU (4-5, 2-3 C-USA) is scheduled to host WKU (1-8, 0-5 C-USA) at 5 p.m. Saturday.
Â
The Series
The Florida Atlantic versus WKU series began in 2008. The two universities competed as members of the Sun Belt Conference before both making the move to Conference USA. The games promise to be nailbiters or lopsided. Five games have been decided by less than double digits. The remaining four by an average of 22.25 points. The last two games were a 52-3 FAU loss in 2016 and a 42-28 FAU win in 2017.
Â
Where to Watch
The game will be produced by STADIUM with a live internet stream on Facebook. Chris Hassel will provide the play-by-play, AJ Hawk will provide the game's analysis and Kristen Balboni will cover the sidelines.
Â
Where to Listen
For the local call by ESPN West Palm's Ken LaVicka and FAU alum Kris Bartels, fans can listen to the game via ESPN West Palm 106.3, on the internet at http://www.espnwestpalm.com/index.php, or on the ESPN App.
