Justifying my 10-2 season.....just saying anything is possible.

I think our WR improve....defense is top 3 in big ten. I'm not kidding. I think that this year could be a shocker for Hoosier nation and Wilson vows to stay with us and he realizes what he can do with this program...... We bring in a top 25 recruiting class and see this upward trend in IU football. If not I want you all to sign something and get me the head coaching job because I want this job and would die for it. Make me the youngest head coach ever. 23 years of age

Just saying

[iufan96 21]

Very optimistic, but not as far off as people may believe. Wku is a good team with a great offense, but defnese could shut them down. At Psu is gonna be a tough one, as well as iowa. If anything this is the year, favorable schedule, michigan, iowa, are down this year, could possible win both. I totally agree with you, but it will be hard, but very possible.

[All_Hoosiers 873]

WKU's offense will probably carve up Indiana's defense. But then again, Indiana offense should carve up WKU's offense. That will definitely be a high scoring game for sure.

I live in Bowling Green and I know WKU likely won't be an easy game. The defense improved towards the end of the year, but I still think IU can win that game.

I say Indiana goes bowling next season.

[iufan96 21]

I sure hope they go bowling. It would be amazing. Wku would definetly be a good win, they're tough.

[HoosierReb01 7,511]

They are all winnable, but we probably won't win them all.

[PointBlank 116]

At least 6 and 7 wouldn't surprise me. The first four games are not the toughest of competition and at least three wins should be expected if not four. Wake has been headed in the wrong direction over the past couple of years. Iowa has been on the decline and IU is fortunate to have that game at home.  IU should get a home win against Rutgers and a win at Purdue shouldn't be unexpected.  Need to pull off an upset against one of the others.

[Hovadipo 55,068]

If we don't come out of non-con 4-0, I will be very disappointed. Unfortunately disappointment is all part of the drill being an IU football fan. I'd be happy with 6, thrilled with anything more.

[CR3AMnCR1MS0N 1,867]

We should be able to win at least 6 but I feel stupid to expect more than 5 from IU football. Running low on sunshine to pump.

[ThompsonHoosier 3,414]

This is the year people! (Actually that's what I say every single year) 6 wins is all I'm looking for. If our key players stay healthy (i.e. don't lose Sudfeld again) I think we get there. Anything over the 6-win mark would be awesome!

There's the attitude! 6 wins would be monumental for iu football. We could finally get to a bowl game, and possibly win!!

[indianato 157]

I'm salivating over my season tickets for next year. Seven football Saturdays! WOOOOOOO!

I think we go 6 - 6  I think we lose one of the non conference.  I simply chose Wake Forest because it was the last game.  I think we win 3 B1G games, but not sure if it will be Iowa, Michigan or Maryland.   I chose Michigan because I really want to beat them.

The reality of it is once again it is IU.  I could see us going anywhere from 4 - 8 to 10 -2  I think the only ones we don't stand a chance with are OSU and MSU.  I hope to heck we do not finish below 6 - 6 though, because I think it will mean the end of Wilson.  I like him, and hope he can string together some wins.

I think the Rutgers game is the key to B1G season.  Get a win and we are on the right track. I don't think we recover from 0 - 3 in conference.

[iufan96 21]

Let's be real here people, this is a very favorable schedule for the Hoosiers. First off we need to go 3-1 or better in non conference, then focus on big10 play. But there is a very good chance we will go bowling
