BOCA RATON, Fla. – Florida Atlantic's football team returned to the practice field on Monday morning. Due to weekend rain and impending weather, the Owls moved their session to the Hagerty Family Track & Field Complex.
The Owls are coming off their season opener, a game that saw them hold Michigan State to 16 points (14 defensively), the fewest versus a P5 opponent in the program's history. Florida Atlantic used the two days rest to review the game, make corrections, and begin preparation to face Army West Point.
The contest will mark the first time the two teams have met and will be the Owls' first American Athletic Conference contest of 2024.
