SAC fall schedules

Here is UVA-Wise's schedule for 2023

[Hailscarlet&gray]

Should be a good day for Newberry unless Ship is greatly improved from last season. We were 5-6 with a very young team. The team had three freshmen quarterbacks and the first two were injured, leaving us with the third-string guy for the final couple of games. He actually might have played the best of the three, engineering an upset of Gannon in the final game that probably kept them out of our regional playoffs. That position is probably still in flux this spring, our leading end entered the transfer portal, and a big lift will be needed from an o-line that started mostly frosh and sophomores last year. The situation might get better on defense, where a lot of the young players saw considerable playing time and showed some promise. Didn't have a big recruiting class as 78 players are returning.

I look for the Raiders to be somewhat better, but not a match for Newberry if it's anything like it's been the past couple of seasons.

I'm looking forward to seeing you guys. Should be a good game. Though I think we will be pretty good again this year, we will be much younger on both sides of the ball.

Although it's not been officially released, I was told today that Limestone's non-conference schedule is as follows:

Sept. 2 @ West Georgia Sept. 9 host West Alabama

This could be a very good long term strategic move for the future for when there may eventually be a combined CC / GSC Football Conference.


After being a member of Conference Carolinas for 22 years (there are still close ties with the conference) Limestone made the move to the SAC at the time when their plans of football began, and CC wasn't a football supporting conference, but now things have changed in a big way, and continue to change. There could be more and more opportunities in this region for D2 sports affiliated changes. We will see.

Going all the way to Pennsylvania to play a non conference game? They mustbe having a difficult time finding non conference games. I wish they would play more Gulf South teams, like West Georgia.

We've been spoiled by the amount of home games in recent years. Had several years with 6 or even 7 home games (not counting playoffs). It makes something like Bears Club (which is not cheap) feel like a much better bang for your buck when you are spreading that money out over the course of more games.

I have mixed feelings about LR's schedule. The non-conference should be simple enough, but I hate that we aren't getting two home games to start the year. The away schedule in the conference will be brutal as well, we play all our tough games on the road (CN, Limestone, Newberry, Wingate, Tusculum). While I feel really good about the team we are bringing back this year, it we'll have some tough tests in hostile environments.

Biggest gripe is only having 5 home games. Makes that Bears Club membership (which jumped by a couple hundred bucks this year) feel a lot less worth it.

But, won't you probably have 6 home games next year? With only 11 games on the schedule each year, it seems a rather silly thing to gripe about ;).

LRs schedule is out, looks like their two non conference games are St Augustine at home on 9/2 and at Fayetteville State on 9/9

If LR played that schedule last year, they might've made the playoffs.

CN opens at home with Virginia-Lynchburg. :(

So 2 Non D2 games.

Not good if CN wants to shoot for the playoffs this season.
