2024 IUFB Season

Tayven would start for about half of the B1G. We’ll survive and probably thrive.

I like TJ a lot but don't think he can do the things that KR can do. Rourke is an elite qb in my opinion. He just makes it look so easy. CCC has said that TJ lacks consistency and is Rourke's strength. This might put more pressure on the defense.

So they are different players.  Rourke is clearly the "journeyman" with the consistency to match.  TJ is more athletic and can make things happen if necessary.  It looks to me, from the little I have seen of TJ, that Rourke has forced him to get better.  He looks less "spastic" than he did last year.  Consistency should come -- hopefully fast.

And I believe that he’s getting MUCH better coaching from this staff.

And maybe EVERYONE steps up…not just TJ…but the entire offense, the entire defense, special teams…and the coaches.  That’s what we need…and what Coach Cignetti will demand.  And while we may not score 48 points per game…we’ll score enough to win.  LFG!  Go Hoosiers!

The beauty is that we haven’t been dependent solely on great QB play. The OL, RB’s, TE and WR’s have all been great. 
Add in the defense and it’s really been a complete team effort.

Totally agree.

It would be nice to have Rourke back for MSU. I think that’s a game we win with him. Not so sure without him.

TJ has all of the arm talent of Kurtis and then some.

But Kurtis has a exceptional mind pre snap and is an incredible ball handler post snap.

Believe it or not T. Jackson is about ready to go big time.  Athletic and can hold up physically.  He can be a running threat to move the chains when needed and can also throw the ball accurately.  Like K.R….T.J. will benefit from the OL and excellent receivers he is playing with.  Need to get timing and rhythm down this week.

All of it can be true, and is.

… and TJ is a year older, too… maturity and better coaching will show up on the field.

To apply what @Hovadipo said to this video, “All of it can be true and is.”

“I wonder how the ticket office would hypothetically handle a home playoff game for season ticket holders…” wondered the season ticket holder.

This is going to be delightful.

Anyone know why FPI ranks our defense at #68 in efficiency despite being top 10 in both points allowed and yards allowed per game?

This is one of the guys I was thinking about that is going to get drafted. One of the most important players on the offense and biggest reasons for this year's success. Please please (knock on wood) stay healthy.

I'm still kind of surprised no one is really talking about our defense. All the media is focused on the offense and honestly, I hope it stays this way.
