2020 Football Schedule Released



Here it is...a football interlude...the 2020 BG football schedule.  A few thoughts...


  • That LU stands for Liberty...the Liberty Flames
  • This is our new normal configuration.  We have two buy games at P5 opponents, we have one G5 game and an FBS game. 
  • I think this is good.  Playing 3 P5 games is really tough, in my opinion.  It's nice to have a new opponent on the home schedule and have it be someone we are a little more competitive with.
  • For the first time in recent memory, BG isn't finishing with Buffalo.
  • Interestingly, we are finishing with cross-over games as we have in previous years.  It's mixed, some teams do and some teams don't.
  • The Akron/BG game at Summa will be the only Saturday game played in November in the MAC.
  • An alert commenter has corrected me...we also play at @ EMU on a Saturday.  We regret the error.
  • BG will have two November weekday games...the Kent game and then the NIU game on the hated day after Thanksgiving.
  • As a fan, that three game home stretch in late September into early October looks nice, with the hope of continuing decent weather.
  • Back to basketball!

Hmm...I have a question. It looks like the BG/EMU game is on Nov. 21st, which is also a Saturday. So, it would appear that BG has two MAC games on Saturdays in November...unless the schedule is wrong. I hope it's right, though. EMU is only an hour away, so that would be a great game to go see on a Saturday in November.

2 Power 5 road games is terrible and doesn't put the team in a realistic position to win.
