Penn State and Michigan both had uncharacteristically down years in 2020, but each team seems primed to bounce back. Jim Harbaugh enters 2021 on the hot seat.

At Penn State, James Franklin replaced his offensive coordinator with Mike Yurcich from Texas. He'll be tasked with getting more out of returning quarterback Sean Clifford. On defense, some key pieces depart on the line, but Franklin was aggressive in the transfer portal plugging holes on the roster. Which program is more likely to bounce back in 2021?
