They then head to UAB a week later on Sept. 17 and the final non-conference game comes on Sept. 24 at GS hosts Ball State.

The month features just one home conference game, coming against James Madison on Oct. 15. The Eagles wrap up October in Norfolk, Virginia, at Old Dominion on Oct. 22 before having their bye on Oct. 29.
