Geez ... five of our first six games are pretty 'winnable'.

 

Looking like 2 wins again.

Shocking that that is your opinion.

Really not shocking to believe it's a 2 win team again. 2-4 is the most probable. 6+ is a miracle.

And which part of the team makes them a 6 win team? The unknown QB? The bottom of the league offensive line, , WR corp, defensive line?

The unknown Fr of the year in the SEC? Lol 

Bottom of the league? What?

Bruh, the WR corp, offensive line and defensive lines are terrible.

My priorities might be askew, but the kid is now my all-time favorite IU QB, or at least since Randle-El.

IU football shooting traditional par trying to battle out of last in the east (and not a lot different if it was west.  It is what it is)

Seeing that RB/KR David Ellis is also retiring from football due to health issues. Looked like a very promising piece for this team. The IU Football curse continues!

Wouldn't say it hurts the team in any way. Hopefully he gets healthy for his long term goals in life.

B1G Media Day was today, who knew?

Spoken like a true coach who doesn’t have a great QB because a great QB begins with a great OL (at least a very good one).  Par year after year.

[Loaded Chicken Sandwich 8,979]

So all over Twitter I see how Shivers will have a great breakout year... But I'm still not seeing it. He didn't do anything special at Auburn and he will definitely have a much worse offensive line here at Indiana. I honestly feel bad for any QB or RB right now. Any type of potential they have is getting dragged down because of the OLine. 

[TTT 1,102]

And high level major league touted QBS do not consider mediocre OLs.  That leaves those with a kink or shortcomings who are trying to make something out of or improve their ability often only to getting development stunted.

How do you know that the OL is going to be bad this year.  Maybe a new OC will be able to do more things to help out the OL

Because the same talent level still exist. The same terrible OLine coach is still employed.
