The Cal Poly Mustangs have added the Western Oregon Wolves to their 2024 football schedule, according to WOU’s official athletics website.
Cal Poly will host Western Oregon at ALex G. Spanos Stadium in San Luis Obispo, Calif., on Saturday, Sept. 14, 2024. The game will mark the second meeting between the two schools on the gridiron.
In their first football matchup, Cal Poly defeated Western Oregon at home, 24-17, on Sept,. 22, 2007.
Cal Poly competes in the Big Sky Conference in the Football Championship Subdivision (FCS), while Western Oregon is a member of the Lone Star Conference in Division II.
With the addition of Western Oregon, Cal Poly now has two of its four non-conference opponents set for the 2024 season. The Mustangs are also scheduled to travel to take on the Stanford Cardinal on Sept. 7, one week prior to hosting Western Oregon.
In Big Sky play in 2024, Cal Poly will host Idaho State (Oct. 5), Montana (Nov. 2), Northern Arizona (Nov. 9), and Sacramento State (Nov. 16) and will travel to Northern Colorado (Sept. 28), UC Davis (Oct. 12), Idaho (Oct. 19), and Weber State (Nov. 23).
Cool, now let’s add at least one more, either on 8/31 or 9/21.
And they’re still missing 2 games for a full schedule. It’s the middle of February… get it together Don Oberhelman.
We’re going to end up playing USD for the millionth straight year, aren’t we? I don’t mind the regional “rivalry”, but I feel like we don’t need to play them every single year.
Hopefully Hawai’i will be willing to take on a second FCS opponent (they have an opening still).
I wouldn’t count on Hawai’i, but ya never know. That second FCS game doesn’t happen very often. Though, Hawai’i is very unlikely to be playing for a playoff bid anyway.
I’m blessed & happy that Cal Poly does not have My Montana State Bobcats on their menu in 2024.
