Slippery Rock football schedule 2025: See national semifinalists’ dates, times, PSAC opponents
It’s been almost seven months since Slippery Rock University nearly upset Ferris State in the NCAA Division II football semifinals.
Seven months for The Rock to retool, hit the weight room and try to surpass one of their best seasons ever.
The chance to do so officially begins Sept. 5, when SRU opens the 2025 college football season with a road game at Franklin Pierce (N.H.) in a Friday night kickoff.
Slippery Rock plays five home games this season, beginning in Week 2 against Shepherd to start a three-week home stand. The Rock’s PSAC West Division schedule begins Sept. 27 at home against California (Pa.).
The Rock, who went 12-2 last season and lost to Ferris State 48-38 in the semis, have been ranked in the preseason Top 10 in D-II by Lindy’s Sports and FloFootball.
