2018 Home Games - North Texas, Troy, New Mexico State
Away Games - Virginia, Auburn, Army, UMass, New Mexico State, Wake Forest, New Mexico.

More 2019 and beyond games to be announced Saturday. The game against Wake Forest is part of a 2-for-1 with the Flames visiting Winston-Salem in 2022 and the Deacons making the trip to Lynchburg in 2025. Road contests in 2019 include Rutgers and BYU, while Army is scheduled to play at Liberty in 2021.

Seven away games is a major negative in my book. That would be unacceptable. I do like the winnable P5 games which could help put us on the map if we improve.

I'm sure they will add two FCS games to get the home to 12 maybe even 3 and have 13 games. I've seen Hawaii do that but I'm not sure of the circumstances.

Maybe I wasn't clear, but seven away games in 2018 only leaves room for five home games that season. Almost everyone has at least six home games. I will give LU the benefit of the doubt since it was on short notice but this can't be a regular occurrence.

I am a big fan of our opponents, especially our away ones. I don't think our home games will bring out that many more fans. Or more specifically, I don't think North Texas, Troy, or New Mexico State will provide many more visitors but I do anticipate more LU fans or casual locals coming to see a semi-recognizable opponent rather than someone like Presbyterian.

I think I phrased my comment not directly enough. I knew what you were saying about only having at most 5 home games. I'm saying they will add 2 fcs games more than likely to get to 5 home games and 12 games all together. I was saying they may also look to add an additional home game, likely an fcs, to get 6 home games bringing the total to 13 on the season. I know Hawaii was able to schedule 13 games in the season a while back but Idk the reasoning behind it. Might be something to look into though as home games are big money revenues.
