Louisville football releases full 2020 schedule

A conference home game on the first Thursday of the season? I don’t hate it.

Here’s the complete 2020 Louisville football schedule:

Sept. 3 (Thursday) vs. NC State

Sept. 12 at Clemson

Sept. 19 vs. Murray State

Sept. 26 vs. Western Kentucky

Oct. 3 at Syracuse

Oct. 10 at Boston College

Oct. 24 vs. Florida State

Oct. 31 vs. Virginia Tech

Nov. 7 at Virginia

Nov. 14 vs. Wake Forest

Nov. 21 at Notre Dame

Nov. 28 vs. Kentucky

Quick Thoughts:

—I like that we get a couple of extra days before the Clemson game and a week off before the Florida State.

—Consecutive home games against FSU and Virginia Tech is pretty awesome.

—There had been some buzz that the weeknight season-opener was going to be against Clemson. I would have been ok with that, but I like this more.

—I’d prefer to not have the Murray and Western games back-to-back, but that’s a small thing.

—At Notre Dame and then home against Kentucky was the same way we ended the 2014 season. Here’s hoping the 2020 results are also the same.
