# 2012 McMurry War Hawks football team

The 2012 McMurry War Hawks football team represented McMurry University in the 2012 NCAA Division II football season. The War Hawks, transitioning to Division II and Lone Star Conference (LSC) membership, competed as an independent and provisional Division II member. They played a mixed schedule of schools from the FCS, NAIA, and D-II. McMurry competed in the Division II postseason via the LSC's bid to the C.H.A.M.P.S. Heart of Texas Bowl.
The War Hawks were led by Hal Mumme in his fourth and final year as head coach. Mumme stepped down in January 2013 before being named an offensive assistant at SMU the following March.
