2014 Houston Baptist Huskies football team
The 2014 Houston Baptist Huskies football team represented Houston Baptist University in the 2014 NCAA Division I FCS football season. In 2014, the Huskies played their first official season of collegiate football (the seven game 2013 season was technically an exhibition season) led by second year head coach Vic Shealy. The 2014 season was also the Huskies' first official season in the Southland Conference for football. The Huskies were immediately eligible for the Southland Championship and for the FCS Playoffs.[1] The season also marked the start of play in a new on-campus stadium, Husky Stadium[2] on the Dunham Field.[3] The first game in the new stadium was played on September 6, 2014 vs McMurry University. The Huskies finished the season 2–9, 1–7 in Southland play.
