(Stats Perform) - Western Carolina seeks to bounce back during its 11-game 2020 schedule which was announced Monday.

The Catamounts, who are coming off two straight three-win seasons, will play five times at E.J. Whitmire Stadium in coach Mark Speir's ninth campaign: against Gardner-Webb (Sept. 19) as well as Southern Conference opponents Chattanooga (Oct. 3), Wofford (Oct. 31), VMI (Nov. 7) and The Citadel (Nov. 21).

Western Carolina will make a Nov. 14 visit to FBS program Liberty.

While the Catamounts are replacing four-year quarterback Tyrie Adams, they are projected to return 18 starters.
