Loaded Chicken Sandwich

Secondary better be ready or Duff will go for 200 yards. Big test for them.

Y'all wanted to homer it in and I get it. But the writing was on the wall in the first 3 games. Offense isn't as explosive. Offensive line is weaker. Defense is slower. Secondary isn't very good. RB room now even worse and there isn't a dude behind Beebee to put in. Can definitely still make the playoff.. but this defense is going to have to make some insane strides. Ohio State and USC will put up 50 on this defense right now. Secondary is going to get tested against Rutgers.

But I was overreacting and wrong about this team having a ton to work on lol.

They remind me a bit if some Kevin Wilson teams.

No he's seemed to do pretty well. Interesting in the college game how the kicking position has become so specialized with field goal kickers and deep legs for kickoffs.

It being an exhibition against a bad team makes going 2-10 on 3rd even worse.

There is no "preseason." It's the season. This team hasn't looked very interested in playing. Charlie Becker is basically the only 100% positive so far. Which should be expected I guess from the best player on the team.

We actually went to the air more against WKU. We only threw 16 passes between 3 QBs against Howard. 25 yesterday. We just didn't look good. Defense has been getting sliced up by UNT and WKU. Thankfully the defense was able to hold when it came to it for the shutout, but USC is scoring in all of those spots. So far against FBS comp we have only 2 sacks. Haven't been successfully getting the pressure we need and that has nothing to do with being vanilla unless the coaches have told the guys to not be as aggressive. Our secondary was always going to be the weakest link of the team and it shows.

Wake Forest didn't get beat 70-20 last week by Georga or 49-14 by Nevada.

This team has soooooooooo much to work on. And better do it quick because Northwestern won't be some pushover. Chiles has also really really like the 1st quarter against Indiana. So many problems that need addressed. As of now, we would get torched by teams like Miami or Georgia.

I still wasn't impressed at all by our RBs. Not really any illusiveness or explosion through holes or ability to cut to an non predetermined hole. Both remind me a ton of Redding. Did he rush for 1000 one year? Yea. Was he actually any good? Not really. I mean both are probably better than him. Beebee probably just a tick above him at best. Neither are elite RBs. That is what hurts so much with Martin out. He legitimately has star written all over him. Size, speed, strength, vision. There holes that Turbo/Beebee couldn't hit that Martin would have shifted and blasted through them. I'm not super super worried about the defense. I think everyone knew the secondary was going to be the weak link without Ponds. Dudes like that don't grow on trees and come to Indiana(yet). Hopefully get healthy and see a lot of aggressiveness and actions to get in the backfield.

Defense will be a work in progress and will have games to use to improve before then. Northwestern will be an interesting game(Chiles always starts the game off pretty well against us). Rutgers sucks but Duff is a legitimate star who will give a great challenge to our weakened secondary and Nebraska will be decent enough. hopefully get things fixed before Jeremiah Smith comes to town. I don't think they went to crazy on offensive sets or even defensive looks. Only had 1 sack on the day and 7 tackles for loss. RBs are... Okay. Not impressed whatsoever with Beebee(which I didn't care for him last year to begin the season). Not having Martin is going to hurt. Turbo and Beebee don't have the vision or explosiveness to hit the right holes which was seen multiple times on Saturday as they just pulled Trent Richardsons and ran into pile sof bodies. Sad Marsh didn't get more targets. Charlie B is still a monster. Offense as a whole didn't get much due to several short fields but Hoover throwing for 4 TDs would great. Was some top notch aura watching him throw a TD to Charlie B while bleeding all over the place.

Bringing a ton back. Defensively, that front 7 is nasty. Possibly the best CB in the nation. The top portal safety brought in. Offensively getting Moore back and both true freshman RBs form last season. bringing back arguably the best TE. They'll have a few 1st round picks in the 2027 draft.

We did. And I get that. And I get how good Indiana will be. you can make cases for Oregon, Indiana, Ohio State, Georgia, Miami, Notre Dame to win the natty. Can probably throw Texas into there. I'd consider those to be the only real contenders. Oregon still has the most talent. They have a really good coach who will need to take that next step himself. So to me, maybe, just maybe, this is finally Oregons year. Either way, I think Oregon, Indiana or Ohio State win the national title. Oregon would be wild giving the B1G four different teams in 4 years.

Oregon did lose both but they return a Heisman level QB, both RBs, arguably the best TE in the nation, the best front 7 in the nation and arguably the best CB in the nation and brought in the top safety transfer. Biggest question for them will be offensive line. They were really young last year. they have the most talented roster in the nation. Could be Lannings best roster, though his 2027 team will also be really good and will have Raiola(who will be good in a real program).

My college football playoff prediction.

Sup y'all be a while! Gonna drop my Preseason Top 25 and Top 25 games of the year here. About a month away! Can't wait!

Anyone know the reason for Alexis being there? Just helping fill a spot with the big guy out? I mean realistically what's the likelihood he could even play next season? 0.00001%?

Before Winston graduated.
