Team History
Have been playing at the FBS level since 1931 and only have 6 bowl game appearances to show for it. Which makes what Jerry Kill just did that much more impressive, winning 17 games in 2 seasons in 2022/2023 including a 31-10 win at Auburn. We'll see how they are moving forward, as his replacement Tony Sanchez immediately started losing at the pace they did before Kill.
