Coach Cignetti is always working. He's unlike the IU b-ball guy that waits until April to do his portal thing.

TBH yes the OL was not up to the task but it wasn't all their fault. The offense play calling was lacking. It did help ND quite a bit. Where where the man to man beaters? There wasn't one play, to the best of my knowledge, that was not a man beater run the entire game. ND played man against IU's receivers most plays. This limited the offense quite a bit. PLEASE DON'T DELETE THIS. I am not trying to be a problem. I LOVE Indiana. I am an alumni and I have loved this past season. It is the best one I have seen in my entire life. I pray the best for Indiana in every sport. God bless brother.

With Fisher and Kamara returning, the defense is off to a good start but we need to attack more solid-tackling corners and outside linebackers. All those missed tackles in the ND game feels like we have a decent scheme but need the pieces that can make plays and not allow extra YAC on short catches

I don't think the Hoosiers will land anything more significant, just as they haven't landed anything in the portal of significance yet. Roster is looking pretty bleak compared to Penn State, Michigan, Ohio State, Wisconsin, Oregon, Washington, Iowa, Michigan State, & USC.

They need playmakers who can beat man coverage, youll never beat top teams without those type of playmakers. This guy either overvalued that position or he doesn't know football like he thinks he does. Just because you have a show don't mean knowledge, anyone with a phone or recording device can do KZbin. It's not coincidence in the NFL the QB, WR, DE, OT make the most money.

Playmakers are nothing without the line to protect the qb so the playmaker can get the ball to make plays. Just like a jumpshot starts with your feet, an offense starts with the lineman. Moron

Well Mendoza can move so more rollouts and bootlegs which opens up guys, but we def need more speed. IU rarely used the TE as well. A lot of room for growth, but I think this RB from Maryland has a higher ceiling then the guys we lost
