RICHMOND, Ky. – Eastern Kentucky will play at The Citadel in Charleston, South Carolina on Sept. 26.
 
The game is scheduled to begin at 1 p.m.  The Bulldogs are ranked among the top-25 teams in the nation this season, including 21st by HERO Sports.
 
"We are excited to add a quality, top-25 ranked Football Championship Subdivision team like The Citadel to our 2020 season," Director of Athletics Matt Roan said.  "This is an outstanding opportunity for our student-athletes to compete against a championship-caliber opponent, and a destination for our fans to travel with the Colonels.  As a leading military-friendly university, we also appreciate the fact that The Citadel is a senior military college."
 
This will be the first-ever meeting between the two football programs.
