Led by second-year head coach Joe Moorhead, the Rams compiled an overall record of 12–2. Fordham was not eligible for the Patriot League championship because the program used scholarship players while the rest of the league's members did not. The team's official conference record was 0–0.[1] Though ineligible for the conference title, Fordham finished the regular season at 11–1 and earned an at-large bid to the NCAA Division I Football Championship playoffs, where the Rams defeated Sacred Heart in the first round before losing to Towson in the second round.
