2020 Presbyterian Blue Hose football team
American college football season
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The 2020 Presbyterian Blue Hose football team represented Presbyterian College in the 2020–21 NCAA Division I FCS football season as a technical FCS independent but in a scheduling agreement with the Pioneer Football League (PFL), which it fully joined in July 2021. Under the agreement, Presbyterian was not eligible for the PFL title, but its players and coaches were eligible for individual PFL honors.[1][2] They were led by tenth-year head coach Tommy Spangler, in his second stint as Presbyterian's head coach, as he coached the Blue Hose from 2001 to 2006 and resumed in 2017.[3] The Blue Hose play their home games at Bailey Memorial Stadium.
