1987–1988: Gary Grove era
At the start of their first season in 1987, the Eagles led by coach Gary Grove lost their first three games including a 31–0 shutout loss against the Howard Bison. Their first win was a 16-10 game against the 0-3 Davidson Wildcats. Following the victory, the Eagles went on to record a 4-7 season.

The next season in 1988, the Eagles improved slightly with Freshman quarterback Elias Garrett and Sophmore receiver Collin Staten. After suffering two embarrassing losses against Eastern Kentucky and Boise State, UTSC went on to win four straight, lose against Lafayette, and win their final game against Tennessee Tech 18–7.

2021–present: New Beginnings
In 2021, the UTSC Eagles accepted an invitation to play in the NCAA Football Bowl Subdivision. They went undefeated, winning the Fiesta Bowl against No. 5 Notre Dame 40-37 in a game dubbed "106." They upset No. 21 Utah 26-20, and No. 19 Arizona State 47-9, which helped them finish the season as the Number 9 team in the AP, Coaches, and CFP polls. UTSC planned to move to the Big XII in 2023, however ultimately decided against it and stayed independent.
