I know - the dust hasn't settled from the Transfer Portal and 1 year of free eligibility but this just might be the year. Yes, we have most of the coaching staff on board and question marks all over the place at WR and several positions on defense. I'm not seeing any teams on our schedule who return without their own set of question marks.
I really have no clue what the record would even look like, but I think this is the type of schedule that Beamer hopefully can build upon - I wouldn't put anyone in the "dominant" category and most of the teams will be searching for answers. A Harris/Lloyd backfileld is a good foundation to start upon when you have to find multiple WR's and the QB position is unsettled and got worse with Ryan hitting the portal. Anyhow, let's take a crazy look at 2021.
As you can see below 5 wins/4 loss/3 ties. Is it possible to achieve a 6 win season? I see anywhere from 3 wins and maybe with a lot of luck 6 or 7 wins. Thoughts tell me how you think 2021 will play? I left out C-19 praying by then we all can enjoy our football and things can get a little back to normal again.
