Pelch guided the Majors to a 7–3 overall record in his first season, but the team saw its streak of four consecutive SCAC championships snapped by virtue of a 35–21 home loss to DePauw, who finished the year 6–0 in conference play. The Majors' 2011 senior class tied the record set by the previous year's senior class of most career victories, with 33 in a four-year span. For the fifth year in a row, the Majors' offense was the SCAC's highest scoring unit.
