IUFB Offseason Updates

An inexperienced passing game on the road against an good and experienced defense can lead to A LOT of turnovers.  The extraordinary thing is that WE are the beneficiary of that dynamic.

I expect OSU to try to run the ball to establish a power game early, to take pressure off of Barrett and their new wrs. If we can stack them and wrap them early it will be really interesting. Good gawd I'd love for us to get the first points in this one.

So so happy gameday is coming to IU. We tried so hard to get it there my Senior year (2016), but they ended up going to Notre Dame or somewhere else.

One x-factor for OSU is Kevin Wilson. They may have an inexperienced offense, but Wilson knows our defense well. Or at least I would expect him too. I expect us to add a lot of wrinkles on D to change it up a bit for this game.

Could argue the same in that we know his Offense as well.

May be some things Allen wanted to do on D that he did not in his first year and working under Wilson. Year 2 now working for himself he may have a different approach

Anyone know what time BTN is showing IU's practice today?

To sort of leap off this, in year 2 the players should be more comfortable in Allen's system and terminology.  So if there are things he needed to keep simple for year 1 could be complicated a bit more for year 2.

And while in the past OSU knew what type of offense Wilson liked to run, this time they will be facing a new offensive system, which may still be simplified in year 1, but it will be new nonetheless.

We're gonna need someone to step up and be our go to back as well. Hopefully Majette can fill that role.

I'd love for Wilson to try to throw downfield with noodle arm Barrett. I'm excited that he's their QB. I was really scared that they might put someone competent at that position.


OSU and Mich, are ripe for the pickings. PSU on the road is the one that really concerns me.

 If our D stays healthy, they are gonna keep us in games and could even win a game outright for us. Can our offense do enough to beat teams like OSU and Mich? I'm sure teams are excited that Lagow is our QB.  Can we make the big play and keep our defense off the field. Can Lagow cut down on the TO's and bad decisions and can our running back at least establish some kind of success to help balance out the offense. These are all big questions I have going into the OSU game against their D.

Some tweets from BTN's Dave Revsine watching today's practice:

@BTNDaveRevsine: Indiana still very much an up-tempo team offensively - no-huddle, read option, etc. Will look very similar to recent yrs philosophically

@BTNDaveRevsine: Really like the looks of Ian Thomas at TE for IU. Tough match-up. Peyton Ramsey had a nice practice as well - QB looks set going forward

@BTNDaveRevsine: Tom Allen told me he's been really impressed w Donovan Hale - "maybe our most talented" WR - saying something on a team w Westbrook, Cobbs

Our WR corps sounds like it will be one of the strongest we have had in quite some time. I wonder if it means Peyton Ramsey is pushing Lagow or that he is set as the #2 QB. Assume it's the latter. 

[Miller'sTheMan]

I'm assuming he just means that after Lagow graduates, we'll be in good hands with Ramsey.

Watching IU/PSU 2016. We could have won that game if we didn't have 10 turnovers in that game. Good grief.

Yep. But I was more upset at the Michigan game. For the second year in a row, we were beating them up pretty good physically, and had the lead late into the third quarter. Ugh.
