2022/23 IUFB Offseason News

[Hoosierfan2017 21,161]

The top 3 QBs on the depth chart are transferring out, and a fourth QB suffered a horrible leg injury. Not great. None of them were particularly good, but now we need bodies to fill the QB room. Dexter Williams had the most success, but he can’t throw. Completed 34% of his passes this season. Having him run for his life isn’t a sustainable game plan going into next season, if he’s even ready at the start of the season. This offseason could get ugly.

“Run for your life” isn’t a sustainable game plan for an Indiana football qb, but it’s a hell of a good self preservation strategy

Wait.. are you including Gremel in that group? 

[TTT 926]

Is IU going to field a football team next year 23?

Coaches gravy train.  = Have a little success.  Get a lucky break.  Coach a  4 or 5 more years.  Get your pride hurt.  Take several millions of $ and move on.

Quarterbacks currently at IU injuries or no injuries are good mid major talented.

[Alford Bailey 12,373]

We will fill the roster spots it just won’t be anyone you ever heard of before. It’s hard enough to re tool with good players every year let alone lesser talented ones.

I forgot Sorsby in between them, but I was going off this tweet. 

Maybe that was a one time thing, idk. Looking back I don’t think Gremel ever played in that game so it probably was off.

[Loaded Chicken Sandwich 8,662]

Tuttle wasn't good.

Bazelak was god awful.

Gremel was never going to play.

Not a huge surprise.  Just wasn't quite the fit that some hoped it would be.  Wish him well and less qb hits at his next stop.

I'm hoping Conor has success elsewhere. I also hope that all the QBs IU has had in the last 5 years file a class action suit against Allen and Hiller.

I am surprised he didnt work out. I watched him play a couple of games at Mizzou and he looked great. I was excited that he was coming to us.  What the heck happened? O lIne?

I watched him some at Missouri as well. Some games he looked great, some he looked very pedestrian. The Missouri boards seemed to say the same when he left. Consistency was a huge issue this year. I'm sure the coaching and o-line here didnt help.

Yeah...obviously we all hope the best for Dexter and want him able to walk, let alone play, ASAP but considering this announcement is telling me his knee went full Shaun Livingston...we're gonna need a QB. Soon.

Edit: to be clear, we already did. Now we just really do...and about 3 of them.

What horrendous luck for that kid. Non-contact, unbelievable.

Just another example of why FieldTurf is a crime against humanity. Ruining kids' careers one buckled knee at a time.

Let's just go back to grass. Sure it gets torn up, and sometimes muddy, but it is a whole lot more forgiving than the artificial stuff.

I think we're within a few years of the NFL/NFLPA making grass mandatory. Or at least for new stadiums and places where it's possible. It's a major problem. Not sure that it'll ever happen in college because of the cost.

[Naturalhoosier 15,422]

Grass fields will trickle down to the college game as the pressure mounts in the NFL. Of all the costly things that come with the business, having a grass field (and the maintenance of) that decreases the chance of injury is one I’d be willing to make if I were in the ADs shoes. 

[Hovadipo 55,507]

Jaylin named a PFF First-Team All-American. 
 

Please please please don’t make me add you to the list.

Wisconsin OL coach? Oh HELL yeah.
