WKU Football will host Missouri State on Thursday, Oct. 8, in a nationally televised Black Out game at Houchens-Smith Stadium. Kickoff is set for 6 p.m. CT, with the game airing on CBS Sports Network.
The announcement gives fans exactly what they need now: a date, a time, a place and a channel. For supporters of WKU Football and Missouri State, the schedule is clear enough to plan for an evening kickoff in Bowling Green, Ky., and a national television window on CBS Sports Network.
The Black Out label signals a themed home game, a branding choice that usually means the crowd and team are expected to wear black for the occasion. That part of the setup is simple; the football question is more complicated. Missouri State and WKU are being matched for this date, but no previous meeting is included in the notice, leaving the pairing to speak for itself as a fresh item on the schedule.
Western Kentucky University Athletics is using the game to frame an early-October home date with full visibility and a clear kickoff time. The next thing for fans is even simpler than the announcement itself: show up, tune in, or both when WKU Football and Missouri State meet Thursday night.
