CHICAGO – One defining trait that the University of Chicago football team is seeking to harness in 2018 is continuity. The Maroons bring back eight starters on each side of the ball. They also embark on year two as an affiliate member of the Midwest Conference. The 2017 Maroons enjoyed a successful debut in the MWC, taking second in the North Division and finishing with a 6-4 overall record. With plenty of experienced players in the fold, UChicago is gearing up to challenge for the conference title.
