Team History
A perennial power in the FCS, they won the national title in 2003 and are the only FCS program to average over 20,000 in attendance from 1999 to 2010. NFL MVP Rich Gannon and NFL Super Bowl MVP Joe Flacco both starred here. This will be their first season in the FBS, but it appears they have a solid foundation to get started with.
