The home games against Louisville on Sept. 9 and Georgia Tech on Sept. 24 will mark the first time in program history it has played host to two Power 5 programs in one season.

The Knights’ other home opponents will be South Carolina State and American Athletic Conference opponents SMU, Temple, Cincinnati and Navy. The game against two-time AAC defending Cincinnati on Oct. 29 has been designated as Homecoming.
