HONOLULU – University of Hawai'i Athletics Director Jim Donovan announced the addition of Western Kentucky, of the Sun Belt Conference, to almost complete the 2012 football schedule. The Warriors and Hilltoppers will close out the regular season with a game on Dec. 1, 2012 at Aloha Stadium.
With the addition of Western Kentucky, the Warriors need one more opponent to complete the 2012 schedule. UH has already filled the upcoming 2010 schedule as well as 2011.
“We're pleased that Western Kentucky has filled one of the open slots for the 2012 schedule,” Donovan said. “I'm sure their coaches, players and fans are very excited for the opportunity to finish the regular season in Hawai'i. Having already completed the 2010 and '11 schedules and needing one more game for '12 and '13, we're meeting one of our goals to have the football schedule complete several years out.”
Hawai'i and Western Kentucky will play for the first time on the football field.
The 2012 schedule includes road games at USC (Sept. 1) and Brigham Young (Sept. 8) to open the season and a home game against UNLV (Sept. 22).
Since last year, UH has announced new games with Army, Brigham Young (2012 & 2013), and UC Davis and extended series with USC, Oregon State, Washington, and UNLV.
