Days after announcing a new home game with Tulane, Auburn now has another new non-conference foe to add to its schedule. The Western Kentucky Hilltoppers have announced they will travel to Auburn for a Sept. 24, 2022 showdown in Jordan-Hare Stadium.
Auburn has a 2-0 all-time record against Western Kentucky, as the Tigers won in 2005 and in 2003.
“It is great for WKU to add an opponent of Auburn’s caliber and tradition to our future non-conference football schedule,” said Director of Athletics Todd Stewart via the school’s official website. “The goal of our football program in scheduling is to play appealing regional opponents that enable our fans to travel to the game and see us compete against the best competition in the country. Traveling to play a prominent Auburn program in a fantastic setting will be exciting for everyone associated with our program.”
Western Kentucky joins Penn State as the only two non-conference games on Auburn’s 2022 schedule.
