Like a number of South Carolina's small-college teams, the Newberry Red Wolves - known as the Indians when the program began in 1913 - spent years in the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics (NAIA), but joined its Southern Atlantic Conference (SAC) brethren in moving up to NCAA Division 2. Since then, the school has made numerous NCAA Playoff appearances and won SAC titles in 2006, 2008 and 2016.
The Red Wolves play a rugged brand of football, entertaining loud and enthusiastic crowds at historic Setzler Field. For lovers of small-college football, a fall afternoon on campus is always a treat.
How to enjoy a Wolves football weekend, inside or outside the stadium:
