Recasting the 2021 Schedule, after U$C...
Until clobbering U$C, bowling was in doubt.
Sept. 4 Kansas State (in TX): LOSS. But, set McKee as Starting QB
Sept. 11 at USC: BIG WIN. T.McKee delivers! Cardinal defense holds -- a boffo 42-28 decking and it wasn't that close.
Sept. 18 at Vanderbilt: WIN. We impose our will against a winless team last season.
Sept. 25 UCLA: TOSSUP -- But lean toword UCLA with DTR at QB; Shaw used to have Bruins on lock.
McKee needs to light it up in home debut. Defense gotta force turnovers.
Oct. 2 Oregon: LOSS. Ducks posted the marquee victory of year so far, thumping #3 OHST there. Very fast on both sides.
Oct. 8 at AZ State: TOSSUP -- Devils potent on both sides of the ball. They have weapons at QB and RB.
Oct. 16 at Washington State: WIN -- Going to Pullman in Oct is way better than in soggy Nov.
Oct. 23 OPEN DATE Could be 5-2 or 3-4 at midway mark
Oct. 30 Washington: WIN -- Huskies are lost and humiliated. We handled em in Seattle last year.
Nov. 5 Utah: WIN -- Big Ute Defense, but BYU showed how to beat em with an active attack and aggressive defense.
Nov. 13 at Oregon State: WIN. -- Up there, hard to predict in Nov. Beavs on a wet track. Ugly. But, our run game works.
Nov. 20 KalSucks: WIN -- refuse to give up the Axe. Kal has issues on Offense, cuz they inhale badly.
Nov. 27 Notre Dame: TOSSUP -- By then, NDAM will know whether they need this game for a Playoff / NY6 spot.
We famously beat the Domers in PA in 2015 and 2017 when they were ranked in Top Ten. No need to concede to NDAM in PA.
WINS: 7 or 8
TOSSUPS: 3
LOSSES: 2 to 4
NET: We go 8-4 or 7-5, maybe 9-3.
If Oregon goes 13-0, then they make the Playoff, freeing up the Rose Bowl spot. Trickle down wealth.
STANFORD BACK TO BOWLING: Alamo, Sun or Holiday.
Even at 6-6, we could make Hawaii Bowl.
And, if we finish at least 7-5 some Bowl speculation
After Week 2:
COTTON Bowl (Playoff), 12/31. BAMA vs OREG.
ROSE, 1/1: UCLA vs OHST
ALAMO, 12/29: AZST vs UTEX
HOLIDAY, 12/28: UTAH vs BCOL
VEGAS, 12/30: U$C vs NORW
SUN, 12/31: STAN vs VATC
HAWAII, 12/24: WASH? vs SDST?
LA CRENSHAW: COLO vs FRST
EAST BAY FLUSH: KAL vs NE Fumble Univ
