ST. PAUL, Minn. -- The University of St. Thomas announced the 2023 football schedule Wednesday, which begins Sept. 2 at O'Shaughnessy Stadium in St. Paul.
The reigning Pioneer Football League champions open the season Sept. 2 against Black Hills State as it puts up the nation's longest home winning streak of 26 games. The season opener is the lone home game during non-conference play, which includes a Sept. 9 tilt at South Dakota in Vermillion, S.D., and a Sept. 16 contest at Harvard in Cambridge, Mass.
The Tommies return home Sept. 23 to begin PFL play against Morehead State. St. Thomas travels to face Dayton on Sept. 30 and before hosting Butler for its homecoming game on Oct. 7.
The conference schedule continues with a two-game road trip, Oct. 14 at Drake in Des Moines, Iowa and Oct. 21 at Stetson in DeLand, Fla. The Tommies will host Marist on Oct. 28 before a bye week on Nov. 4. St. Thomas makes its final road appearance Nov. 11 at San Diego before the season finale Nov. 18 against Valparaiso.
All home game times are projected to be 1 p.m., but are subject to change. All game times will be finalized at a later date.

Glenn Caruso will lead the Tommies for his 16th season in 2023 after finishing last year with a 10-1 overall record and the program's first Pioneer Football League title in just its second year in NCAA Division I. The Tommies finished a perfect 8-0 in league play to boost Caruso's career record to 143-25 through his first 14 seasons on the St. Thomas sidelines.
The Tommies closed the 2022 campaign ranked No. 19 in the CFB Network poll. The Tommies were not eligible for NCAA postseason competition despite winning 10 straight games to finish the season.
