The 2001 Hofstra Pride football team represented Hofstra University during the 2001 NCAA Division I-AA football season. It was the program's 61st season and they finished in a four-way tie as Atlantic 10 Conference (A-10) co-champions with Maine, Villanova, and William & Mary.[1][2] Each team finished with identical 7–2 conference records. The Pride earned a berth into the 16-team Division I-AA playoffs, but lost in the opening round to Lehigh, 24–27, in overtime.[1] Hofstra was led by 12th-year head coach Joe Gardi and their captain was Charlie Adams.[1]
Redshirt senior quarterback Rocky Butler finished as a finalist for the Walter Payton Award, which is given annually to the most outstanding offensive player in Division I-AA (now known as Football Championship Subdivision), as chosen by a nationwide panel of media and college sports information directors.[3]
