SUU made history with last year’s championship and playoff run, but questions at QB and on defense will make a repeat difficult

Southern Utah coach Demario Warren isn’t looking to change his expectations after arguably the best season in SUU’s football history.

“We always have the same goals, it doesn’t really matter the year,” Warren said. “We want to have a winning record, we want to make the playoffs, we want to win the conference championship, and we want to win a national championship.”

Last season featured a 9-3 overall record, including a 7-1 run in Big Sky Conference play to claim a share of the league title. And yes, the Thunderbirds went farther than they ever have in the Football Championship Subdivision playoffs before falling 30-13 to rival Weber State in the postseason.
