Led by veteran head coach Larry Kehres, with future NFL wide receivers Pierre Garçon and Cecil Shorts III,^[1] The Raiders completed their second consecutive undefeated regular season. The Raiders battled to the Stagg Bowl National Championship for the third consecutive year, but unlike the previous two years, the Raiders were defeated by UW-Whitewater.
