CAA Football Announces 2018 Schedule
Rob Washburn
RICHMOND, Va. (November 1, 2017) – CAA Football has released its schedule for the 2018 season, which includes a challenging non-conference slate along with the always competitive battle for the league title.
The conference schedule includes four home games and four road games for each team as they face eight of the other 11 CAA Football members. There is at least one conference contest during each of the 12 weeks in 2018, with a full slate of league action on October 13, November 10 and November 17.
The non-conference schedule features 12 games against FBS opponents, including six versus teams from Power 5 conferences. Every CAA team except Delaware will meet a FBS foe, and the Blue Hens will test themselves against five-time FCS national champion North Dakota State. So far this season, CAA teams are 20-3 against non-conference FCS opponents. The league has also recorded a pair of victories over FBS foes for the second year in a row as James Madison defeated East Carolina and New Hampshire beat Georgia Southern. There are no games against non-Division I opponents.
