2015 Outlook

Johns Hopkins, winners of six straight Centennial titles, have won 10 or more games in each of the last four seasons ... the Jays have averaged over 35 points and 430 yards of total offense during that stretch, while allowing under 18 points and 308 yards as well ... if a new quarterback steps in to keep the machine running and the defensive line can be shored up, Hopkins will be tough to beat in 2015. Preseason Prediction: 1st

Head Coach Jim Margraff

Margraff (Johns Hopkins ‘82) enters his 26th season as head coach at his alma mater ... he has a career record of 178-83-3 and has won the most Centennial games (127) in the history of the Conference  ... Margraff, a three-time Conference Coach of the Year (2011-1214) has led Hopkins to CC titles in 2002-05, 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012, 2013 and 2014 … a member of the JHU Athletic Hall of Fame, he held the school career record for passing yardage (6,669) for 28 years.
