College football is getting by in what continues to be the strangest year any of us have ever seen and probably ever will see, God willing.
As the year has gone on the outbreaks of COVID-19 have as well, leaving many to wonder if coaches are finding convenient ways to get out of blowouts and help save their jobs, while others can’t preach safety enough.
What I do know is that as crazy as this year has been, I’m happy that it was at least given a try instead of simply punting on the year. It’s been far from perfect but we all knew that would be the case when the season was ultimately saved.
With that, here are is your current list of games that have been called off for this weekend, as of December 3, 2020:
Friday, Dec. 4:
Southern Mississippi at UTEP
Boise State at UNLV
Saturday, Dec. 5:
Northwestern at Minnesota
Kent State at Miami (OH)
Maryland at Michigan
Also worth noting and I’ll be doing a piece praising BYU for getting this done as well, is that BYU and Coastal Carolina were able to get a game for Saturday scheduled on short notice after Liberty was unable to play due to COVID-19 concerns.
It’s a huge addition of a game for BYU who hasn’t gotten respect from the College Football Playoff committee to date and it’s a move that makes loud-mouths like myself have to shut their mouth and instead tip our caps in the direction of Provo, Utah.
