Stony Brook added their second FBS opponent, the Western Michigan Broncos, as their season opener now scheduled for Friday, Sept. 4 in Kalamazoo, Michigan. This match replaces their previously scheduled matchup against Fordham on Aug. 29.
Fans, students, alumni and families anxiously awaited the opening kickoff. The moment redshirt-senior kicker Nick Courtney’s cleat made contact with the ball, the Stony Brook football season began.
