The 2014 Victory Bowl was a college football bowl game played on November 22, 2014 at Barron Stadium in Rome, Georgia. It featured the North Greenville Crusaders against the Shorter Hawks. The Crusaders cruised to a 42-16 win. North Greenville and Shorter were NCAA Division II schools, with Shorter playing its first year in Div. II after years in NAIA. Despite a 3-7 record entering the game, Shorter was selected for the bowl due to its high Massey Index rating. Although the teams had the same number of first downs (22) and comparable offensive yardage (North Greenville 411 to Shorter 365), the teams combined for several turnovers, including two Hawks fumbles which were recovered in the end zone for touchdowns by the Crusaders.
