Alabama Newscenter 2018 Football Preview: Samford University

By Solomon Crenshaw Jr.

Samford football began the 2017 season with a bit of an identity crisis. But it didn’t last long as the Bulldogs made a historic run.

“We had trouble finding our identity,” coach Chris Hatcher said of his team’s early efforts. “Once we figured out what kind of team we were going to be, we really got on a roll.”

That roll included beating some good teams on the road, upsetting top-10 Wofford and ending up one game out of first place in the Southern Conference. As a result, Samford made the playoffs in back-to-back years for the first time in 25 seasons.“This year, our goal is to try to win one more game,” Hatcher said, “and we’ll have that elusive conference title we’ve been hunting.”
