CLARKSVILLE – Home openers for Austin Peay State University's Fall 2021 and 2022 football seasons were set Thursday.
Austin Peay's 2021 home opener will see it host Morehead State in a Sept. 18 contest. It will be the 47th meeting between the two teams and the third since 2017. The Governors own a three-game win streak in the series, including a record-breaking 78-40 victory at Morehead in 2018.
The next season Presbyterian visits Clarksville to lift the lid at Fortera Stadium in a Sept. 3, 2022 date. The Blue Hose return to Austin Peay for the second time in recent history and third time overall. Austin Peay won the last meeting – a 24-0 home-opening victory in 2018 – to level a series that started in 1955.
"We are happy to solidify our home openers for each of the next two seasons," said APSU Director of Athletics Gerald Harrison. "We look forward to once again hosting our passionate fans at Fortera Stadium as together we cheer our Governors to another OVC Championship season."
