The Rivalry

The Nation's Football Classic is new age Black College Football Classic which will renew the college football rivalry between Howard University and Morehouse College after nearly 15 years. It will showcase the Tradition, Service, Unity and Heritage of these prominent Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) and offer a cultural experience that can’t be matched.

The history between these two teams dates back to 1927 when Howard defeated Morehouse 10-0.
