Blue Hose return from bye week to face Morehead State on the road
November 11, 2026
The Presbyterian College football team returns from its bye week Saturday, Nov. 14, when the Blue Hose travel to Morehead, Kentucky, to face Morehead State. Kickoff at Jayne Stadium is set for noon.
The game is the 10th of the 2026 season for Presbyterian. It is also the first season under head coach Matt Rahl, who coached the program’s offensive line before taking over the team.
Presbyterian enters the game 4-5 overall and 3-3 in Pioneer Football League play. The Blue Hose last played Oct. 31 at Bailey Memorial Stadium, where they lost the Homecoming game to Butler 27-10. Butler scored 14 points in the first quarter and held the ball for more than 40 minutes. The Presbyterian defense gave up only one touchdown over the last three quarters.
Presbyterian’s three league wins came in a row in October. The Blue Hose beat St. Thomas and Davidson at home, then won a 47-43 shootout at Stetson.
Morehead State has had a hard season. The Eagles were 2-7 overall and 1-4 in league play before their Nov. 7 game at Marist, where they lost 14-13 after Marist scored two touchdowns in the fourth quarter. Saturday’s game is the Eagles’ last home game of the regular season.
The two programs have played each other every year since 2021, and many of those games have been close. Last season, Presbyterian shut out Morehead State 41-0 in Clinton to open league play, running for 303 yards and four touchdowns. In the last meeting in Morehead in 2024, the Eagles won 14-7.
After this game, Presbyterian closes the regular season at home Saturday, Nov. 21, against Dayton. Kickoff at Bailey Memorial Stadium is at 1 p.m.
