The 2023 campaign was remarkable for Prairie View A&M. The season began with an overtime win over rival Texas Southern in the Labor Day Classic. It ended with a loss in the SWAC championship game, the second time the Panthers had won the SWAC West Division in three years.
PVAMU concluded the season with a 6-6 overall record, a commendable feat considering the offense's average of 19.5 points per game. The offense displayed more promise against SWAC opponents, averaging 24.2 points per game. However, head coach Bubba McDowell decided to introduce changes during the offseason.
