Hilltoppers to open season at Louisville

The Western Kentucky football team has a new season opener.

The Hilltoppers will now begin the season at Cardinal Stadium against Louisville on Sept. 12.

“Excited to open the 2020 season in the Commonwealth of Kentucky against the Louisville Cardinals!” WKU athletics director Todd Stewart wrote in a quote-tweet of WKU’s announcement. “Thank you to @vincetyra (Louisville athletics director Vince Tyra) and the @GoCards staff for your collaboration and cooperation throughout this process!”

The change was announced two days after WKU announced its original opener, scheduled for Sept. 3, would be delayed to a date to be determined.
