Second-year head coach Tyson Helton and the 2020 Hilltoppers will face a wire-to-wire grind, as nine of the team's 10 FBS opponents competed in a bowl game in 2019. WKU's 11 opponents compiled a combined record of 81-62 from 2019, including a 52-40 mark from the seven league opponents and 29-22 mark from the four non-conference teams.
WKU kicks off its 2020 campaign on the road at Louisville on September 12, only 19 days away. The Hilltoppers will be looking to break an 11-game losing streak against the Cardinals, dating back to a win in 1975. WKU will come back to Bowling Green the following Saturday to host Liberty for the team's home opener on September 19.
