| From the 2020 PLAYBOOK Football Preview Guide magazine: Prior to 2019, since 1990 there had been only eight first-year college football head coaches that suffered a winless season. Six of them returned the following season. Each and every team improved SUATS the next year, going 27-45 SU and 36-39-1 ATS overall as opposed to 0-69 SU and 16-50 ATS the previous campaign. Akron and Tom Arth will dress up in that role this season. |
