New season. Same expectations. The 2024 Mount Union football team will be striving for its NCAA Division III-record 14th national title. The Purple Raiders are coming off their 34th NCAA Playoff appearance (NCAA D3 record), following their 32nd undefeated regular season and conference-record 34th Ohio Athletic Conference (OAC) Championship (seventh-straight). Mount Union, under the direction of fifth-year head coach Geoff Dartt, was picked to win the OAC title in 2024 by the league coaches, receiving eight of the 10 first-place votes. The No. 5 nationally-ranked Mount Union Purple Raiders will travel to Ferrum, Virginia to take on the Ferrum College Panthers to kick off its 127th season. Mount Union has won 36-straight season-openers (1988-present). Saturday's matchup will be the first between the two teams on the gridiron. Ferrum, under first-year head coach Kevin Sherman, was picked to finish eighth in the 2024 Old Dominion Athletic Conference (ODAC) Preseason Poll. Full game notes here.
