Eastern Illinois will play an almost identical schedule to last season.
The only real change is to one non-conference opponent.
Instead of facing Northwestern in the second week of the season like last year, the Panthers will travel to Miami (OH).
The other change for EIU is their bye week which will be Nov. 12, instead of in September.
Homecoming is Oct. 22 against Murray State and the season opens Sep. 1 at home against Western Illinois.
