FAU’s Willie Taggart remains hopeful a college football season will take place this year

As someone who’s either played or coached college football for over 25 years, FAU coach Willie Taggart would prefer not to think about a fall without football.

He’s said it’s hard for him to see the U.S. without a football season, and that the thought of what it’d looked like hadn’t crossed his mind until recently.

But as weeks turn into months since sports were put on hold in the country due to the novel coronavirus pandemic, Taggart remains hopeful college football will be played this year.

“I hope so,” Taggart said when asked if a college football season will be played this year during a recent interview with ESPN West Palm.
