Here's why we should celebrate Concordia University football, from the people that know best.
No. 20 Concordia (2-0) is set to open up its GPAC schedule on Saturday when Northwestern (0-2) visits Bulldog Stadium for a 1 p.m. kickoff.
On the heels of a 2-0 start, the Concordia football program has earned its highest national ranking since the 2013 season. The Bulldogs checked in at No. 20 in Monday's (Sept. 12) poll.
On Monday (Sept. 12) the conference named senior Michael Hedlund the GPAC/Hauff Mid-America Sports Defensive Player of the Week.
Behind big plays from its stars and a monster game from senior linebacker Michael Hedlund, Concordia emerged from Ottawa, Kan., with a 2-0 record.
The first road test of the 2016 season awaits Concordia on Saturday. The Bulldogs will take on a foe from the KCAC for a second-straight week, this time under the lights.
For the fourth-straight year, Concordia football claimed victory in its season opener. Jared Garcia caught a pair of touchdown passes to help lift the Bulldogs to a 23-7 win over the University of Saint Mary.
The Concordia football program kicks off the 2016 season Saturday (Sept. 3) when it hosts University of Saint Mary as part of the GPAC/KCAC Challenge.
Belgium is not exactly considered a hotbed for college football recruiting. But Brussels native Dylan Pierquin has found a home and a role with Concordia football.
Picked third in the GPAC by league coaches, the 2016 Bulldogs are packed with star power. The likes of Trey Barnes and Bryce Collins have Concordia thinking big.
An in-season overhaul of the offense transformed the Concordia passing attack into something never before seen in the history of the program. The exploits of DJ McGarvie and Korrell Koehlmoos were highlights of the 2022 season.
You get the feeling that Korrell Koehlmoos would play college football for the rest of his life, if only that was allowed. Koehlmoos’ return in 2022 is more about his fervent passion for the game than it is about any statistics or records.
The program made a significant leap forward in 2021 while going 7-3 and earning a clean sweep of Nebraska GPAC rivals. However, Coach Patrick Daberkow and the Bulldogs refuse to believe they've hit their ceiling as they enter 2022.
He’s arguably the most talented football player to ever don Bulldog blue. In the mid-1980s, Clarence Woods took a chance on Concordia and a community he grew to love. Thirty-eight years later, the memories remain rich in his mind.
"United in Purpose," the 2001 Concordia Football Team reached heights no other squad in program history has ever attained. Led by Coach Courtney Meyer, the Bulldogs enjoyed a special journey that resulted in a GPAC championship and national quarterfinal appearance.
Most people around campus know him as "Pot Roast." The four-year starting center and Psychology major grew into a first team all-conference performer while standing out as one of the more personable players on the Concordia roster.
Following a 7-3 season in 2021, Concordia Football returned to the practice fields this spring with an eye on making another leap forward. A number of fifth-year players are back in the fold and the overall talent level excites Head Coach Patrick Daberkow.
The momentum from a 7-3 mark in 2021 has carried over into recruiting for the Concordia Football program. As of signing day, the Bulldogs have secured pledges from 39 class of 2022 student-athletes.
Over the past four seasons, Garrett Schardt has made his mark at Concordia with a series of big plays and tough grabs. The Davenport native and BDS alum will have the option of returning for a fifth season after an All-America 2021 season.
All-American linebacker Lane Napier returned for a fifth year in 2021 and made good on his aspirations of helping Concordia Football win in a big way. Led by a stifling defense, the Bulldogs closed the campaign on a six-game win streak.
