Conference Affiliation NOTES • The 101st season in Lenoir-Rhyne Football history is one like no other. For the first time ever, the Bears will compete in spring games and today serves as the 2020-21 home opener. The four-game regular season slate concludes with a home game against Catawba on April 10. Should the Bears advance to the SAC Champion- ship game, that will be played on April 17. • Lenoir-Rhyne has won 18 straight games against South Atlantic Conference opponents with two of those wins coming in the NCAA Playoffs. The last loss to a SAC foe came back on Nov. 11, 2017 when the Bears dropped a 24-20 contest at Catawba. • This is the first LR home game since Dec. 7, 2019 in the NCAA Quarterfinal. • LR hasn’t lost a regular season home game since a last-second loss at No. 12 West Alabama on August 30, 2018. The Bears have won 22 straight regular seaso ngames and haven’t lost in the regular season in 932 days. • The Bears and Barton haven’t met since 1950. Barton, who then competed as Atlantic Christian, has never beaten Lenoir-Rhyne. • Lenoir-Rhyne is 52-34-4 all-time in home openers and have won two straight. Lenoir-Rhyne and Barton (aka Atlantic Christian) last met in a season opener back in 1946 with Lenoir-Rhyne coming away with a 14-6 victory. In fact, those six points are the only points scored by Barton in the entire rivalry. LR has shut out the Bulldogs in all but one game. • This will also serve as the home-opener for Head Coach Mike Jacobs and his new coaching staff who have waited since being hired in December of 2019 to coach a game at Moretz Stadium. 1 LENOIR-RHYNE FOOTBALL 101 YEARS OF FOOTBALL Lenoir-Rhyne Combined Team Statistics (as of Mar 19, 2021) 2020-21 LENOIR-RHYNE TWO-DEEP All games Offense Defense LENOIR-RHYNE DL 41 QUENTIN HAYES (6-0, 225, SR) Date Opponent Score Att.
