Born in 1891 in Pittsburgh, the Duquesne Dukes football program blends big-city energy with small-campus grit. The Dukes have stacked conference hardware, from a run of MAAC crowns in the late 1990s and early 2000s to multiple Northeast Conference titles, highlighted by 2015 and 2018. In 2018, Duquesne captured its first FCS playoff victory with a statement win at Towson, a milestone under longtime head coach Jerry Schmitt. The program’s lineage stretches back to innovators like Elmer Layden and includes NFL alumni such as cornerback Leigh Bodden.

Home Saturdays at Arthur J. Rooney Field feel uniquely Pittsburgh: an intimate hilltop venue with skyline views, loud student sections pressed close to the sideline, and spirited pregame tailgates on the Bluff. Keystone State showdowns with Saint Francis and crosstown battles with Robert Morris fuel the atmosphere, while the Dukes faithful turn every third down into a roar.
