GREENSBORO, N.C. – The Guilford College football season is swiftly approaching as the Quakers have finalized their 2024 slate of games recently, as announced by the Guilford College Athletics Department on Tuesday.
Following a 2-8 season last fall, GC looks to build upon that mark with a similar slate of opponents entering 2024.
"We as a program are very excited for the upcoming 2024 season," Head Coach Brad Davis said. "We are going to be able to field a team with a lot more experience than what we have had the last couple of years. We are excited to open up the season with a cross-town rivalry but more importantly, to be able to give back to the Greensboro Community at large with the Soup Bowl. All-in-all, we are looking forward to a much-improved season in all aspects"
