The Lions are in their third season in the NCAA Division I Football Championship Series classification. After posting a 5-6 record in 2022, A&M-Commerce struggled to a 1-9 mark last season. Going into Saturday’s game, this year’s Lions are 1-5. A&M-Commerce picked up its first victory of the season last week, at Northwestern State.
