The Youngstown State Penguins have added the Duquesne Dukes and the Dayton Flyers to their 2022 football schedule, FBSchedules.com has learned.

Copies of contracts for both games were obtained from Youngstown State University via a state open records request.

Duquesne will travel to take on Youngstown State at Stambaugh Stadium in Youngstown, Ohio, on Thursday, Sept. 1, 2022. The Dukes will receive a $110,000 guarantee for the game, according to the copy of the contract.

Youngstown State and Duquesne are set to meet this season on Sept. 14 and again on Sept. 12, 2020, both at Stambaugh Stadium. The Dukes will receive a $100,000 guarantee for both of those contests.
