Bison Football Ready to Make Statement Against Defending National Champions

The Howard University Bison football team is set to take on a monumental challenge this September as they travel to Bloomington, Indiana to face the defending FBS National Champions, the Indiana Hoosiers. Under the leadership of first-year head coach Ted White, the Bison are primed to showcase their talent and determination against one of the top programs in the country.

The Bison's trip to Memorial Stadium is more than just a lucrative guarantee game – it's a chance to make a powerful statement. As the Hoosiers celebrate their historic College Football Playoff run and prepare to defend their national title, the Bison will have 60 minutes to showcase their physicality, skill, and belief against a roster built to withstand the rigors of the Big Ten conference.

For Howard, the stakes stretch far beyond the final score.

The atmosphere in Bloomington will be electric, as the Hoosiers' supporters celebrate the team's first season as the defending national champions. For the Bison, this is exactly the kind of environment they seek to thrive in – a loud, hostile crowd, a national television audience, and a chance to prove that an HBCU can walk into the defending champion's stadium and refuse to be a mere footnote in their title defense.

"This matchup offers a unique opportunity for our program to measure our growth, our physicality, and our belief against one of the top teams in the country," said Coach Ted White. "We're excited for the challenge and ready to make a statement on the national stage."
