Dang; I know it's a long-shot, but if we pulled off a first game upset at Wisconsin, we could be looking at a top fifteen-ish ranking going into the Penn State game.

That’s optimism at its finest. Wisconsin seems to be the team that loves blowing us out the most. We have suffered some real whoopin’s at the hands of the Badgers. If we keep it within 20, that’s probably a win.

It’s always about stopping the run.

Hopefully coach Burton can get out D-line to stop the run. I know its totally different players, but he was able to coach really good run defenses year in and year out during his time at MSU.

Brutal stretch of 6 at the back end of that schedule. Definitely not sure what to make of that MSU game yet though as I watched exactly zero Colorado football.

I haven’t caught our schedule for next year until seeing this today. First thought is I actually think we have a pretty favorable schedule. If you're gonna get an upset at Wiscy, more possible in game one when you might get them still figuring some things out than late in the season. I generally look at OSU/UM as losses regardless, so rather have it be two of our road games which gives us a Mich. St, Maryland, Purdue team at home that would be tougher to pull of at their place. Assuming Penix stays healthy I think 8-4 is reasonable with an outside chance of catching Wiscy not ready and rolling and putting 9-3 in play. 

I made the trip for the Gator Bowl and had a great time. Would love a crack at another warm-weather Bowl game.

Jon Blau -

IU will hire former MSU defensive line coach Ron Burton to replace Mark Hagen, according to a source.

Burton was a d-line coach at Michigan State from 2013 until this move to IU. He's got an impressive resume. Spartans had the best rush defenses in the Big Ten in 2013, '14, '17, and '18.

The kind of move I like to see.

6-7 wins. QB is still a HUGE question mark with the Ramsey transfer.

Really, 6? That would be hugely disappointing in my opinion. That would likely mean we lost to Purdue, Maryland, and Michigan St. at home to only end up with 6 wins. Maybe last year has me too optimistic, but that would be damaging to our momentum as a program.

MSU, Illinois and Purdue are three I see that could go either way.

Ah  yes, it's Indiana football.

Can confirm this. Ron Burton had a change of heart. He will he staying at Michigan State after all.  IU’s search for a defensive line coach restarts.

IU is so close to breaking through, and it feels like it can never truly get over the hump. It’s getting tons better, but come on...... really?! Lol

I’m perfectly fine if the cesspool of East Lansing keeps its own. Whole place is dirty.
We’ll find somebody else.

Take 2! Our new DL coach is now Kevin Peoples, formerly of Tulane in the same position.

Are we sure this time.  Maybe wait out the 48 hr cooling off period.

I've coached against him twice in basketball. Very solid player. 

You can see his potential on the gridiron, on the basketball court.
