With a 13-1 record and a Chick-fil-A Peach Bowl Championship win in 2015, the Cougars are poised for a momentous entrance to the crucial 2016 football season.
The Cougars have attracted significant national attention since the hiring of Head coach Tom Herman in December 2014. Led by the talents of senior quarterback Greg Ward Jr., the team stormed through the 2015 season with only one 20-17 loss to the University of Connecticut Huskies.
For 2016, the Cougars must be ready for the spotlight and the accompanying expectations of greatness.
That said, the Cougars have displayed an alarming pattern of inconsistency the last decade.
