The CAA Football “Game of the Week” schedule includes 12 contests and features 11 league match-ups. The slate kicks off on Thursday, August 31 with the Battle for the Brice-Cowell Musket between long-time rivals Maine and New Hampshire. The schedule features a pair of Phoenix games as the home dates against Charleston Southern (Sept. 16) and Albany (Sept. 30) will be carried.
