WASHINGTON, D.C. - Howard University and Morehouse College will face off this weekend during the second annual AT&T Nation’s Football Classic, and the stakes are high. “Last year’s victory over Morehouse was a huge win for us and was a catalyst for a great season for us,” Howard head football coach Gary Harrell told NationsFootballClassic.com. “With this year’s Classic being the season opener for both teams, the energy and level of play is going to be that more intense.”
The 2011 Nation’s Football Classic – the first meeting between Morehouse and Howard in 14 years – left Morehouse’s Maroon Tigers with something to prove. Howard defeated Morehouse on the field and at the podium. They won the football game, 30-27, and crushed Morehouse in the inaugural Mordecai Wyatt Johnson – Benjamin E.

“Every win gives us a little more confidence,” said Rodney Hill, a senior defensive lineman from Reading, Pa. This is his fourth year playing for Howard.
