The Western Athletic Conference released the finalized football schedule for this fall, revealing Southern Utah University and Utah Tech will face off twice in a home-and-home setting.
With Lamar and Incarnate Word backing out of the conference—highlighted by Lamar leaving on Monday to go back to the Southland—adjustments were once again needed with the continuing shuffling across college football.
The previously scheduled meeting for Sept. 24 in Cedar City is still on as scheduled and serves as the WAC opener for both teams.
