Lincoln University Football vs. Chowan University Week 5--Howard; Saturday Oct. 2, Washington, D.C. WASHINGTON, D.C. — Reviving one of the greatest rivalries in black-college football, Lincoln University and Howard University en- gaged in a physical, passionate game won by Howard, 28-14, holding off a rigorous comeback by the upstart Lions. The 56th meeting between the two institutions marked Lincoln’s (1-4) first foray against an NCAA Division I Football Championship Series opponent, but the Lions refused to buckle given the greater size of the Bison (1-4). Howard evened the all-time series at 24-24-8 in the first game between the schools since 1960. “This is a very big deal,” Lincoln University president Dr. Ivory V. Nelson said during an in-game interview on BrandywineRadio.com. “This is not just about Lincoln playing a Division I school, but there are a lot of Lincoln alumni in the D.C. area, and a lot of Lincoln alumni at- tended Howard and vice versa. For example, former Supreme Court Justice Thurgood Marshall received his undergraduate degree from Lincoln and his law degree from Howard.” The competitiveness did not disappoint the historic nature of the Brucelee Sterile recorded 16 tackles en route to CIAA Line- meeting. Running back Gerald Swain (Burlington, N.J./Burlington) and quarterbacks Aaron Thomas (Oxford, Pa./Oxford) and Steven Torres backer of the Week Honors as Lincoln had its most well-round- (Yonkers, N.Y./ASA) spearheaded a comeback effort that saw LU rally ed game of 2010 against Division I Howard from a 21-0 second-quarter deficit.
