CHICAGO, Illinois -- The Chicago Football Classic traditionally features an atmosphere unlike most FCS venues, including a college fair, tailgate and battle of the bands. The 18th version Saturday is set on another big stage at Soldier Field, completing an all-around experience for the fan.Then there is the football, something this year's two teams would like to enjoy for once.
The neutral-site game between historically black schools features two struggling Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference teams that hope a conference victory in the spotlight can spark their seasons.
Morgan State and Howard have trudged through the first three weeks of the season, muddled by issues on the field and off.
Howard (0-3, 0-1) lost its first two games against FBS opponents by a combined 125-0 and dropped its conference opener 37-19 to rival Hampton in last week's AT&T Nation's Football Classic. The Bison were outgained 1,160-183 in losses of 49-0 and 76-0 to Appalachian State and Boston College, respectively, before losing the yardage battle 460-333 to Hampton.
