Is 2021 the year Tim Couch finally enters the College Football Hall of Fame?

Maybe 2021 will finally be the year for Tim Couch.

The big right arm that led Hal Mumme’s Air Raid to the Outback Bowl is once again on the College Football Hall of Fame ballot. It’s nothing new to the Hyden, KY native. He’s appeared on the College Football Hall of Fame ballot every year since 2014.

Will voters finally come around and send Couch into the hall? His resume speaks for itself.
