year home non-conference was bad too, but at least there was one good home nonconference game - San Diego St.
As far as quality goes, of course it helps to have 2 more conference games instead of 2 more Q4 body bag nonconference games.
I am very curious which way Coach Young will go with the last 4 nonconference games. I am hope that as part of upgrading the program with coaches money and NIL money they also lean into playing a more exciting difficult nonconference schedule.
