Game Thread: Northwestern vs. No. 23 Indiana

Positives: this team and coaching staff are clearly able to improve over the course of the year. Lausch and offense look much improved despite the offensive line struggling in the run game with so many guys hurt.

Negative: Everybody in this conference is so good already or improving rapidly and you have to run at fast as you can just to stay in the same place

Game Thread: Northwestern vs. No. 23 Indiana

Let us put this into perspective. This is indiana. Last year they barely won three games. Now they're a top 20 team. It's all about transfers and the portal. Going to be very hard for us to keep up.
At the same time, anybody can turn around very fast, so teams are going to rise and fall based on how they do with transfers and the like.

And those same teams that have booms can go bust as well after transfers graduate/leave if the next group isn't as cohesive.

Disappointed there are so many Indiana fans in the crowd.

Yeah, I suspect the lasting damage of last year's offseason will take years to overcome and a coach having some consistency here to get back to those levels of purple in the stands with that commitment that we had pre-Covid.
We went 8-5 last season and the games were sellouts to our fans before the season started, tired of the damn excuses

Indiana got a favorable schedule; 4 of their final 6 games are Nebraska, Michigan State, Washington, and Purdue. They also face Michigan and Ohio State...

They have a legit shot at 11-1 if things go their way, and I think their offense is much better than Michigan's...
The Michigan game is highly interesting, as is Washington and Nebraska, in descending order

I don't think they have the defense to compete with the top BIG teams. They haven't played anybody decent yet.

With the team they have, they should be aiming for 10+ wins.
