2014 Football Season Predictions/Pre Season Talk

Recommended Posts

Whats up guys... So IU basketball is snubbed from the NIT. I'll be drowning my sorrow in IU football. I'm going to be a freshman in Bloomington in August so any insight into IU football you guys want to share would be cool. I plan on updating this thread a lot with preseason news about workouts, the spring game, etc. 

 

Project the wins and losses for next year below and add any commentary about IUFB here!

 

The 2014 Schedule is as follows: 

 

Aug 30 vs Indiana State

Sept 6 BYE

Sept 13 @ Bowling Green

Sept 20 @ Missouri

Sept 27 vs Maryland 

Oct 4 vs North Texas

Oct 11 @ Iowa

Oct 18 vs Michigan State

Oct 25 BYE

Nov 1 @ Michigan 

Nov 8 vs Penn State

Nov 15 @ Rutgers

Nov 22 @ Ohio State

Nov 29 vs Purdue

 

 

Go Hoosiers!

I'll predict: 7-5, maybe 6-6 if we lose to Penn State. I don't think we should be worse than 6-6 hopefully its a year that ends in a bowl!

I really want to see our new defense first. Will be interesting to watch a defense that might try to defend the entire field, instead of having the corners start 95% of the plays 10 yards off the line of scrimmage. The late season game @Rutgers looms really large

7-5 and Bowling.  Constant progression.  Caveat...I'm constantly over-reaching w/IUFB so 5-7/6-6 is probably more like it.  :)

I admittedly am lacking in my IUFB knowledge. I know the offense was potent last year but handicapped by a god awful defense. Did we fire Mallory? Any idea who will emerge as the stars on this years team? 

Yeah, Mallory was fired. Brian Knorr is his replacement. 

 

With the defense last year it tried to use the "bend but don't break philosophy". It was just a bit unfortunate because bending seemed to more closely involve never covering a wide out unless he was already past the first down marker. And only blitzing as the last resort possible

Seems like Coach Wilson is making better progress than Coach Crean  :laugh:  We can hope anyway...

Ah. Not a fan of the bend but don't break idea. I followed ND football and Diaco would use that. Very frustrating style to watch. I'm really looking forward to see a change in philosophy and a competitive IU team in the B10 in a few years.

If our defense improves to even halfway decent, and our WR pool produces, 7-5 is realistic. Not sure its this year, but in the next couple of years I think we are going to see that season that we just exceed all prognostications. The foundation is built, the walls are going up, its just about it all coming together.
