With spring practice now behind them, the West Georgia Wolves football now turns its attention to the upcoming season. As is always the case in the rugged Gulf South Conference, the Wolves find a rugged gauntlet staring them in the face.
Head coach Daryl Dickey has revealed UWG’s 2010 football schedule, a 10-game slate that features a twist from recent seasons. West Georgia, for the first time since 2003, has six home games on its schedule, including a pair of non-conference contests and four against GSC opponents.
The Wolves welcome a perennial South Atlantic Conference contender, the Wingate Bulldogs, to University Stadium for the August 28 season opener. West Georgia fell to Wingate, 38-17, in last year’s season opener in North Carolina.
A week later, UWG hosts Concordia (Ala.) in the final non-conference game of the season. This will be the first football meeting ever between the Wolves and Hornets.
GSC action begins 12 days later on September 16 as the Harding Bisons visit Carrollton. A week later the Wolves hit the road for the first time, visiting Livingston for a Thursday night game at West Alabama.
October begins with back-to-back GSC home games as Southern Arkansas visits University Stadium on October 2 for UWG’s Homecoming. A week later, defending league champ North Alabama comes to town. The Wolves next visit Arkansas-Monticello, followed by the home October 23 home finale vs. Delta State.
After an open date, UWG wraps up its season with a pair of road games. November 6 brings a visit to Valdosta State, followed a week later by the season finale at Henderson State.
