Re: Looking ahead to 2021 opponents...
A closer look at 2021. At least 3 opponents will have new head coaches (Arizona, Utah State, Boise State).
Week 1: Arizona @ Las Vegas Stadium
2020 record: 0-5, lost 12 games in a row. Fired HC Kevin Sumlin (9-20 at Arizona), hired HC Jedd Fisch (was New England Patriots QB coach).
Week 2: Utah
2020 record: 3-2.
Week 3: Arizona State
2020 record: 1-2. HC Herm Edwards enters his 4th year.
Week 4: USF
2020 record: 1-8. HC Jeff Scott enters his 2nd year.
Week 5: @ Utah State
2020 record: 1-5. Fired HC Gary Anderson, hired Blake Anderson from Arkansas State.
Week 6: Boise State
2020 record: 5-2, lost to San Jose State in MWC Championship game. HC Bryan Harsin left to be HC at Auburn. Targeting Dallas Cowboys OC Kellen Moore as HC.
Week 7: @ Baylor
2020 record: 2-7, HC Dave Aranda enters his 2nd year.
Week 8: @ Washington State
2020 record: 1-2, HC Nick Rolovich enters his 2nd year.
Week 9: Virginia
2020 record: 5-5, HC Bronco Mendenhall enters his 6th year.
Week 10: BYE
Week 11: Idaho State
Will play a 6 game spring 2021 schedule.
Week 12: @ Georgia Southern
2020 record: 8-5 including a 38-3 bowl game win over Louisiana Tech.
Week 13: @ USC (Thanksgiving weekend)
2020 record: 4-1, lost to Oregon in the PAC12 championship game.
Bowl tie in: Independence Bowl (or Cheez-It Bowl if B12/B10 can't fill it)
Travel for this schedule is pretty favorable early on. In the first 6 weeks there is a trip to Las Vegas and a trip to Logan. Everything else is at home. Week 7 and 8 are back to back trips to Waco, TX and Pullman, WA. Then we have 3 more weeks at home before ending the season with back to back trips to Statesboro, GA and Los Angeles.
