BOCA RATON, Fla. – The Florida Atlantic University football team, a win away from bowl eligibility, has one game left on the docket. This Saturday, the Owls will host Middle Tennessee at FAU Stadium, a 7 p.m. kickoff, in the regular season finale, Senior Day, and the last chance to get to the all-important win total of six.

The Owls and Blue Raiders have identical records, both 5-6 overall, and 3-4 against Conference USA opponents. In fact, four C-USA East Division teams are 5-6 currently: FAU, MT, Old Dominion and Charlotte. ODU is 4-3 in the league, while Charlotte matches the Owls and Blue Raiders with 3-4 marks.

Prior to the kickoff Saturday, FAU will honor a vast senior class, as nearly 20 members of the roster have played four or more years of collegiate football. The pregame presentation will recognize a group of student-athletes, some of which will be suiting up for their final regular season game at FAU Stadium:
