SEWARD, Neb. – The 2021 Concordia University Football schedule is set. As announced on Friday (Feb. 12), the program has unveiled an 11-game varsity slate for the upcoming season. The Bulldogs will open the new campaign with conference play at defending GPAC champion Morningside on Saturday, Aug. 28. The schedule features six home games, including a nonconference matchup with Mayville State University (N.D.).

The 2021 season will mark the fifth for Patrick Daberkow as head coach at Concordia. The Bulldogs went 4-4 in 2020 while playing a schedule made up exclusively of GPAC opponents. First team All-GPAC honors went to receiver Korrell Koehlmoos, linebacker Lane Napier, tight end Garrett Schardt, guard Christian Schlepp and running back Jonah Weyand.
