Posted: Wed Apr 15, 2009 12:16 pm
Moon Township, Pa. - Back-to-back road games to open the season and a full slate of Northeast Conference games highlight the 2009 Robert Morris University football schedule. Under the direction of 16th-year head coach Joe Walton, the Colonials will play 11 games as part of their regular season in 2009.
For the first time since 2006, RMU will open its season away from home, visiting Lexington, Va., for a 1:30 p.m. kickoff against Virginia Military Institute (VMI) of the Big South Conference Saturday, Sept. 5, for its 2009 season lidlifter. It marks the second meeting all-time between the Colonials and Keydets, as VMI defeated Robert Morris in the inaugural meeting between the two programs at Joe Walton Stadium in 2007.
RMU will stay on the road the following week, traveling to Patriot League foe Bucknell for a 6:00 p.m. kickoff Saturday, Sept. 12, at Christy Mathewson-Memorial Stadium in Lewisburg, Pa. In the inaugural meeting between the Bison and Colonials in 2008, Bucknell blocked a field goal late in the game to salvage a 17-14 win over RMU at Joe Walton Stadium.
Robert Morris will open the home portion of its 2009 schedule Saturday, Sept. 19, when it welcomes Dayton to Joe Walton Stadium for a 1:00 p.m. kickoff. It marks the start of back-to-back home games for RMU, as the club will also host future NEC member Bryant Saturday, Sept. 26, as part of 2009 Homecoming festivities at the University.
