Georgetown Hoyas football
The Georgetown Hoyas football team represents Georgetown University in the Division I Football Championship Subdivision level of college football. Like other sports teams from Georgetown, the team is named the Hoyas, which derives from the chant, "Hoya Saxa". They play their home games at Cooper Field on the Georgetown University campus in Washington, D.C.

The eight-game win streak ended when Georgetown met 8th-ranked St. Joseph's at the Palestra in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. The Hoyas had not beaten the Hawks since 1956, and they did not in this meeting, losing to St. Josephs 111-73. The lopsided loss halted the Hoyas momentum and they lost their next two games as well. They recovered to win their final three games, with a 20-point effort by Dennis Cesar against Seton Hall, 22 points including the winning shot in the final seconds by Gibbons against Fairfield, and back-to-back 28-point performances by Hollendoner in the final two games of the season against Fairfield and Canisius, giving them 11 wins in their last 14 games of the year. Although they won more games than any other Georgetown team had since the 1946-47 season, their 16-8 record – the best record of O'Keefes six-year tenure as head coach – was not enough for them to receive an invitation to a post-season tournament.
