Elon, NC (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The Elon University football team will kick its
2012 season with a first-ever meeting against North Carolina and play six home
games as part of an 11-game schedule announced Wednesday.
Elon's first three games will be against non-conference opponents, starting
with the Sept. 1 opener in Chapel Hill. The game will mark the Phoenix's fifth
contest against a Football Bowl Subdivision opponent and its third against an
ACC program.
Coach Jason Swepson's team will then host two straight games at Rhodes
Stadium, Sept. 8 versus North Carolina Central and Sept. 15 against West
Virginia State.
The Phoenix will finish the regular season with eight straight Southern
Conference games, beginning with a Sept. 22 trip to Georgia Southern, the 2011
conference champion.
Elon's home games in SoCon play are against Wofford (Sept. 29), Western
Carolina on Homecoming (Oct. 20), Furman (Oct. 27) and Samford (Nov. 10).
The other road SoCon games are against Appalachian State (Oct. 6), The Citadel
(Nov. 3) and Chattanooga (Nov. 17).
"Our schedule is one that will challenge us in 2012," Swepson said. "Opening
at North Carolina provides our program an incredible opportunity for our
students, alumni and fans to support us and helps us recruit in-state. We
want to have some early success against non-conference opponents and ride that
into Southern Conference play. The Southern Conference is one of the top
leagues in the country and the games are always very competitive. Our goal is
to win a SoCon title."
Elon is coming off a 5-6 record in Swepson's first season, including 3-5 in
the SoCon.
