Damn, I really wanted him in the superior crimson.

All 3 guys are edge or stud, given that we lose Wyatt, Daley, and Kamara I sort of get it. I'm greedy so I still want 1 more guy on the interior

Did he? Only thing I could find was a story from on3 that said he committed but looks like the article was deleted.

I hate to be the doom and gloom guy, and I know that no one has brought this up yet but...WHO THE HELL IS GOING TO PUNT FOR US NEXT SEASON?!? Our staff is dropping the ball on this harder than the P from Oklahoma

Could be even more stacked if we land Gilliam and Obiazor

Any word on Xavier Gilliam or Owen Long? Probably the 2 at the top of my (currently available) wish list

Agree, I would guess C and OT are priorities. Guard should be solid.

Is Awls still a take? I know we are probably looking at 1 at the nickel but that would be a lot without a true corner coming in.

Huge overpay. But they landed one of the best QBs in the portal, and it will be interesting to watch. Either UK has increased their football commitment from rev-share (last rumor I heard was roughly 50% went to basketball) and NIL, or Sam might not have a hell of a lot of help.

While I would be ecstatic to get Perich, he would most likely be most of our budget at safety. Even then, it would be a big swing and a miss could lose us other prospects. Zachman + Awls is very possible and would be a great S haul.

I 100% would be in favor of a 5-for-5 eligibility model. No more redshirts, no medical exceptions. Give everyone 5 and be done with it. Call year 5 "Grad year" or something. But while these current **** rules exist, we are going to play within them. Hell, Louis Moore is on year 7 this year, and many fans I have encountered have some "yeah..but" excuses when confronting this fact. Always good to hear a perspective like yours that can acknowledge staff competence but not be hypocritical about it.

Anyone know if Gilliam lined up mostly on the interior or edge?

As a longtime IU fan, like yall seeing decades of suffering, its so difficult to comprehend the team we are watching now. I am so proud of and continue to be impressed with the preparation of this team. Best team in IUFB history. Watching a defense smother a team is absolutely joyous. HOO HOO HOO

Holding them to 3 is big. excellent red zone D.

Obviously didn't prep much for the backup QB. Very different skillset but I suspect we will adjust

Slightly off topic, but man I feel so happy for the marching hundred being able to play on this platform. An amazing group that deserves praise!

Glad to see Kaelon back in there

Simpson made the good play then got destroyed!

Big hit by the defense but Riley has to be kicking himself.

They did. Bama has good coaches so we can expect adjustment

Simpson is rattled. Hate that Daley is out but our front 7 is dominating

YEEEAAHHHHHHHHH

bad close to the quarter. Nico looked frustrated, need to knock this down after the long @$$ break

About as bad of start as we could expect

Interception!! Need a TD off of that
