Zach Carpenter, OG transfer from Michigan.
 
That's awesome to hear from a UM transfer. Suggests the IU culture is better than one of the premier football programs in the conference

Penix is the starter for week 1. He has led the #1's at every practice since the scrimmage on Saturday. They might not announce it till next week but he's the guy.

Game week!!!! How tired are you hearing from your closest friends (some of them fans of IU sports) that IUFB was kind of a fluke last year and that this year will only be a 5 or 6 win season? Thi

I'm pretty sure he had a quote somewhere after he committed here that he could tell from the opposite sideline last season that he wanted to be a part of this.

Ryder Anderson said something similar from the bowl game.

Hopefully this continues to impact recruiting and we start landing even bigger fish. Need to back up last year's results or close to it. 8-4 or better with a bowl win and I think this thing just takes off like crazy. I hope anyhow

ESPN (paywall) lists IU as a potential CFP newcomer...

https://www.espn.com/college-football/insider/story/_/id/31270725/college-football-playoff-newcomers-which-team-make-debut-top-four

It's truly unbelievable that being included in this article isn't crazy. We are even listed as a statement game for Cincy. Read that again. A win AT INDIANA in FOOTBALL will be a statement win for a team with playoff aspirations. It's just incredible what Tom Allen has going in Bloomington right now. Even if we end the season 8-4 and in the Music City bowl (selfishly, not a terrible outcome!) I'll still believe it's incredible where our football program is at.

I will drink Nashville out of beer if we get a bowl game there. I absolutely love it there. We hardly even make it down Broadway when we go... have found tons of local watering holes. I do like Acme.

Hah. Funny you say that. I've been here 14 years now and I nearly refuse to go to Broadway now. I get the appeal for people visiting though. I live over in East Nashville. Lots of great spots off the beaten path over here. Of course we have a 3 and 5 year old so we rarely get to do much of anything like that anymore.

Love East Nashville. We are ready for Beyond the Edge to open back up. Also sad the place right next to 3 Crows closed. We went to a hockey game the last time we were down there... loved it.

Yeah I think you might be talking about Tenn16? That was a good spot, and what I liked most was it was a low key place to watch sports on this side of town (I can't handle the smoke at Beyond the Edge) with a solid beer list that was fairly priced (a Good People IPA for $5 instead of $8). Lot's of places over here got the double whammy of being hit by the tornado right before COVID hit, and some haven't made it. I'm not even sure what my favorite hang would be at this point since we haven't gotten a chance to check out several new places. I'm just glad BoomBozz opened back up. It's a bit cheesy, but hey it's a place with a decent beer selection and a playground outside for the kids.

yeah.. they couldn't crack the depth chart 

Thanks for sharing.

There's an uptick in DEs entering the portal.  

https://247sports.com/college/indiana/Season/2021-Football/TransferPortal/

So are some of these transfers also playing DT or OLB as well?  I'm not sure I fully understand the position because Alfred Bryant is listed as an OLB but last year he played DE.  And C.J. Person is listed as a DT but I recall seeing him playing DE.  

I suppose they're just defensive line positions in general?  While I truly hate to see these cats enter their names in the portal I do like the amount of depth IUFB has at those positions.  CTA doing his thang.  Defense.
