"It's a demanding schedule no doubt, but with challenges, come opportunities," Bowden said. "There definitely aren't any gimmes on the schedule, with six postseason bowl teams from last season, including three Top 20 teams.
"I can assure you our team will be fired up to play an outstanding SEC team in Kentucky in the season opener. Following the bye in Week 2, we'll close out the month of September with back-to-back home games. First, Jackson State, coached by Deion Sanders, who was a two-time All-American for my father at Florida State in the late 1980s, in our much-anticipated home opener, and then Troy in our Sun Belt Conference opener.
"Of course, the three consecutive home games in October catch my eye. Hopefully, that's a stretch we're we can really begin to gel and build confidence.
"Playing four of the last five games on the road is a tremendous challenge, but it's an opportunity to display some real growth as a team," Bowden continued. "I believe in the adage, 'November is for contenders.' As we build this program, it's our goal to be playing our best football in meaningful games late in the season."
