Howard and North Carolina Central finished with identical 4–1 records in conference play for the second consecutive season. However, due to new conference tiebreaker rules and Howard's 50–20 victory over NC Central during the regular season, Howard won the MEAC title outright.[2] Howard was invited to the Celebration Bowl, where they lost 30–26 to SWAC champion Florida A&M.[3]
The team played home games at William H. Greene Stadium in Washington, D.C.
