New Hampshire Wildcats
Overall Rank: #27
#6 CAA
New Hampshire went through a tough 2019 season as they went 6-5 and were not able to find a way to duplicate their home success on the road. They were 5-0 at Wildcat Stadium and managed to win just one game away from home. Ricky Santos did a solid job as the interim head coach in place of Sean McDonnell who missed the 2019 season due to a medical leave of absence. The Wildcats were a strong defensive football that kept them in most games. In order for this team to get back to the FCS playoffs they will need to be more dynamic on offense. As for the 2020 season, it was postponed for and hopefully the CAA will complete the 2020 season in the spring of 2021.
