Like last season, Post University will head into its Bye Week before returning to Municipal Stadium on September 13th to face Southern Connecticut State University at 1:00 PM. This will be the first of two matchups against the Owls this season, with this one being the second of three nonconference games on the Eagles' schedule. Post is 0-3 all-time against Southern Connecticut, dropping a narrow 31-27 decision in their most recent matchup last year.
