2023 AAC Football season ๐Ÿˆ

FAU has landed former 4 star and Boise State starting QB Hank Bachmeier:

He threw for 20 TDs and over 3,000 yards in 2021 before entering the portal early in the 2022 season.

Hank Bachmeier opted to transfer just a few days after Boise Stateโ€™s loss to 15-point underdog UTEP on Sept. 23. Offensive coordinator Tim Plough was fired the day after the game. Bachmeier came to Boise State as one of the highest-rated recruits in program history.

Bachmeier is a four-year starter at Boise State, and by leaving before playing in his fifth game this season, he will preserve two seasons of eligibility remaining at his new school.

Can pretty much pencil him in as FAUโ€™s day 1 starter for 2023 (and 2024). Though his Boise seasons were up and down statistically, and included a good #of INTs and sacks for this traditional pocket passer, this is a very strong pickup for FAU as he was one of the most accomplished QBs in the portal.

Have to imagine the weather and โ€œsceneryโ€ in South Florida played a part in sealing this deal.

Well, he chose what he thought was the best football fit over locale. That said, no denying that Ruston is out in the middle of nowhere.

Some highlights of the 2023 schedule include:

  • A compelling slate of Thursday and Friday prime time conference games on ESPN Networks, beginning with Navy at Memphis on Thursday, Sept. 14. The American will have a conference game in prime time in at least seven weeks of the 2023 season.

  • A series of games available exclusively on ESPN+, the leading direct-to-consumer sports streaming service which has grown to more than 24.9 million subscribers in less than five years.

  • Two games will be selected for Black Friday (Nov. 24) among a group of four games in the final week of the regular season. The Black Friday selections will come from Tulsa-East Carolina, Memphis-Temple, UAB-North Texas and UTSA-Tulane. Those selections will be made by Oct. 9.

  • The American Athletic Conference Football Championship, which has been broadcast on ABC in each of the last eight years, is scheduled for Dec. 2 and will be televised either on ABC or ESPN.

If you donโ€™t like playing on any day but Saturday, this is the schedule for you!

Correction: Apparently FAU is a Friday night home game.

This version is a little higher res.

What are some matchups that jump out to you?

What are the best opening weekend matchups?

Any thoughts about league scheduling? Open dates? Imbalanced schedule?

I think itโ€™s interesting we only see 2 former CUSA 3.0 teams and not until almost November.
