The 2017 Howard Bison football team represents Howard University in the 2017 NCAA Division I FCS football season. They are led by first-year head coach Mike London. The Bison play their home games at William H. Greene Stadium. They are a member of the Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference (MEAC). The Bison kicked off their season by defeating UNLV, a 45-point favorite, in the biggest upset in college football history by point spread.[1]

Previous season

[edit]

The Bison started 2016 play with a Big Ten doubleheader: they opened the season at Maryland, losing by nearly 40, and then traveled to Rutgers, only to lose by 38. They recorded two more losses, against Hampton and Morgan State before notching their first win at Norfolk State. Five more losses then followed, and the Bison finished a dismal season with a win against last-place Delaware State. They finished tenth out of eleven in the MEAC.[2][3]
