Western will remain on the road for its first three games, playing Tennessee lech on Sept. 9 and East Tennessee State on Sept. 16.

"This is the type of schedule we've been aiming for and hopefully we will be up to it," said Waters, whose team finished t> 4-1 lasl season including live consecutive w Ills. "It will be a tremendous challenge, to say the least." Waters said. Ihe II WCU opponents finished with a combined record of 67-51-3 last season. "We feel this is a quality schedule and it excites us," Waters said. "East Carolina is the toughest opening game we've ever scheduled. Then, we must play another truly outstanding team in Tennessee lech and face a rebuilt and much improved East Tennessee State team, all of this before we play at home or slart a very demanding conference schedule," Waters explained as he prepares for his tenth season at Western Carolina with a 56-32-2 record.
