GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. - The Davenport football team will be back in action at the Farmers Insurance Athletic Complex this Saturday at noon against NCAA Division II opponent Kentucky Wesleyan. After two weeks on the road, the battle of the Panthers will be a Black Out Game presented by Lake Michigan Credit Union. All Davenport fans are encouraged to wear black to the game and the first 200 DU students in attendance will receive a black free t-shirt compliments of Lake Michigan Credit Union.
