2020 Football Regular Season Predictions

This season is unpredictable. Even if it goes on as scheduled, too many question marks for this team.

Offense: Does Duggan take a step forward? Was it Cumby holding him back? Will Kill and Maechem make any difference? Is losing Reagor a big deal or is it addition by subtraction? Will we have multiple receivers step up so defenses don't key on one guy? Will the run game suffer a drop off with Sewo and Anderson gone? Will the offensive line take a step forward or backward with Anderson back to coaching the OL?

Defense: How can the defense get better after losing the two most important players in Blacklock and Gladney? Is there a big DT who can clog up the middle like Blacklock? Can anyone replace Gladney's production? The defensive line got better as the year went on, will they be a strength early in the season instead of a major weakness like last year? Will this safeties group by the best ever at TCU? Will a linebacker opposite Wallows step up? Does the defense continue to play aggressive trying to force 3 in outs at the expense of the big play or does it shift more toward a bend dont break style?

Schedule: Is Cal's offense good enough to give our defense trouble? We know their defense will be good enough to give our offense trouble. Was SMU simply a first half one hit wonder last year? Are they closer to the team that crashed and burned at the end of the season? How does Baylor replace all the lost production as well as the coaching staff? Is Aranda up for the task? Iowa State seems to be stuck in 3rd gear, do they finally take the next step this year? How does Kansas State replace Skylar Thompson? Will they continue to try and win with fundamentals? Does Kansas take the next step under Les Miles or do they continue to be a doormat? Does Texas Tech continue to wallow in mediocrity after an underwhelming coaching hire? Is the pressure too much for Tom Herman at Texas? Does West Virginia find a way to turn things around after last year? Does Oklahoma State field a defense this year? Can Oklahoma win with a home grown QB?

Single post question mark record...Congrats

8 non wins.

With Anderson taking over the OL (this alone is worth 4 losses). And the former Minnesota coach on the offensive side, I really don't see any improvements for 2020.

When Kill was coach at Minnesota his record was 29-29 and then at VT last year they went 8-5... that doesn't scream offensive genius to me, so not sure how he is going to help.
Facts are correct, but Kill inherited a truly terrible team at Minnesota, and went 3-9 his first year, then 26-20 after that. Numbers are still numbers but he had things going well. Not sure how he'll do, but having another established head coach on staff is a big plus.

I'm going 9-3. Unless our first game is Alabama.

As always:

*All-0

*who knows how many games we’ll play. But in a perfect world it’s 15-0. IMO we’re headed toward a full season with 50% capacity. Maybe expanded attendance (2/3 or 3/4) starting in mid-October. I think the biggest question is whether Cal shows up in Fort Worth.

9-1.

I am not sure who the one loss is going to be to, but we did find a way to lose 7 games last year... SEVEN! I think we beat OU and their QB1 freshman Spencer Rattler. No more SMU on the road. We get Okie State early in the season at home. 6 home games vs the bulk of the teams we barely lost to last year with a true freshman at QB in Max. Iowa State being the only beat down game we had. We seem to have Texas', Baylor's, and Kansas' number for the most part as our 3 of 4 away games, and our WVU game on the road is early in the season, so no artic blizzard, and no more than 50% of their fans in the stadium. I like our chances.
