American college football season
The 2018 Bryant Bulldogs football team represented Bryant University as a member of the Northeast Conference (NEC) during the 2018 NCAA Division I FCS football season. Led James Perry in his second and final season as head coach, the Bulldogs compiled an overall record of 6–5 with a mark of 2–4 in conference play, tying for fifth place in the NEC. Bryant played home games at Beirne Stadium in Smithfield, Rhode Island.
On December 3, Perry resigned to become the head football coach at Brown University. He finished his two-year tenure Bryant with a record of 12–10.[1]
The NEC released their preseason coaches poll on July 24, 2018, with the Bulldogs predicted to finish in third place.[3]
