Samford Athletics announced its 2025 Hall of Fame class earlier today and the 1991 edition of its football team was among the inductees.
1991 FOOTBALL TEAM
INDUCTEE CLASS OF 2025
The 1991 Samford football team set the standard for Bulldog football squads. The team set the school record for regular-season wins with 10 and for overall season wins with 12. The Bulldogs finished the regular season with a 10-1 mark and entered the NCAA Division I-AA (now FCS) Playoffs for the first time in school history. Playing each round on the road, Samford earned wins at New Hampshire (29-13) and James Madison (24-21) before falling to eventual national champion Youngstown State in the national semifinals. The run to the semifinals is, to date, the deepest playoff run at the Division I level in program history. The Bulldogs finished the season ranked in the top 10 of the national I-AA rankings for the first time in program history.
Let's look back at the final victory in a highly successful season, as the Bulldogs travelled to Harrisonburg, Virginia, to take on James Madison. The article below is from the December 9th, 1991. Birmingham Post-Herald.
