AUBURN, Ala. — Auburn’s football game at West Virginia has been pushed back to Thursday, Oct. 23, and will be televised nationally on ESPN.
The game was initially set for Sept. 6.
“This move will give us a great opportunity to receive the national spotlight on ESPN on a Thursday night,” coach Tommy Tuberville said. “We want to make our schedule as competitive as anybody, and playing an outstanding nonconference opponent like West Virginia will do just that.”
Auburn moved a home game with Southern Miss from Oct. 18 to Sept. 6 to accommodate the change.
The Tigers will have an open date on Oct. 18. Five of their first seven games are at home.
Auburn is 6-1 all-time in games played on Thursday.
