BIG RAPIDS, Mich. —
The Ferris State University football team is looking to make history on Saturday and
set the all-time NCAA Division II record for consecutive wins, with special celebrations
for players and fans in attendance.
The Bulldogs, ranked No. 1 in the nation, are hosting Roosevelt University, with kickoff
set for 1 p.m. at Top Taggart.
Ferris State last week tied the all-time consecutive victory record with an 80-0 win
over Wayne State. That matched the 40-consecutive win mark set by Grand Valley State
University between 2005 and 2007.
Bulldogs are also riding a 34-game home winning streak at Top Taggart Field dating
back to 2022, which also is an all-time NCAA Division II record.
A victory would allow the team to win the GLIAC Regular Season Championship.
As part of Saturday’s potentially historic day, all former players from the 2024 and
2025 teams that were part of the streak are invited to the contest.
Ferris State is planning a special postgame ceremony to celebrate the record streak
should the Bulldogs emerge with a victory. T-shirts celebrating the streak are planned
to be available to fans following the game while supplies last.
The Athletic Department also be giving out record-breaking celebration hard hats prior
to the game to the Bulldog students thru the gates while supplies last.
The football team has won four of the last five NCAA DII National Championships, including
the last two. The team is 10-0 overall this season and 6-0 in conference play.
Ferris State is a consensus No. 1 team in the country again this week and holds the
nation’s top overall seed in the NPI Rankings, which will be used to help determine
the playoff field following the conclusion of regular season play this weekend.
Roosevelt is 5-5 overall this year and 1-5 in GLIAC play.
Saturday also includes the annual Senior Day recognition, which takes place 20 minutes
prior to kickoff.
The game will be broadcast live locally by the Bulldog Sports Network and Sunny 97.3
