MTSU football to play Western Ky. for Homecoming Oct. 15

MTSU's 2016 Homecoming game will be Saturday, Oct. 15, when the Blue Raiders football team will take on Western Kentucky University's Hilltoppers, university officials announced Thursday.

Time for kickoff of the Oct. 15 contest has yet to be determined.

The game will follow several campus activities, including the annual blood drive competition against WKU, the Golden Raiders Reunion honoring the Class of 1966, the annual Homecoming parade, the Mixer on Main Parade Watching Party and Homecoming Tailgate on the lawn of the President's Residence.

"Homecoming is perhaps our program's most anticipated date of the season and we're glad the 2016 game will feature our long-time rival and Conference USA partner," Director of Athletics Chris Massaro said.
