JACKSONVILLE, Fla. - Edward Waters College, Wednesday, released its 2015 football schedule which features one game that could have Jacksonville locals buzzing.
The Tigers have scheduled an inner-city match up against the Jacksonville University Dolphins. The game is scheduled for October 17 at 1 p.m. on JU's campus and will be televised on ESPN3.
The schedule is also headlined by games against Kennesaw State, Morehouse College and Concordia College.
"This is one of the tougher schedules in Edward Waters College history because of the exciting opponents we are competing against this year," said head football coach, Alvin Wyatt. "Kennesaw State plays for the FCS (Football Championship Subdivision). Jacksonville University is also a NCAA Division I FCS school. Morehouse and Concordia are both NCAA Division II powerhouses."
The Tigers only have three home games compared to seven on the road, including the game against the Dolphins.
They open the season, August 22, at home against the University of Faith under the lights at 7:30 p.m.. Homecoming is scheduled for October 24 at 3 p.m., when they host Concordia.
