CollegeFootballNews: 5 Things You Need To Know About Indiana & Season Prediction

The change in coordinators should help a wee bit, but the returning experience will mean even more. This was an okay team last season, but it wasn’t consistent enough, and it wasn’t explosive enough offensively. Expect the passing game to be a whole lot more dangerous – even if it’s not quite as sharp as it was when it dinked-and-dunked last year – and expect the running game to play a bigger role thanks to another big season from RB Stevie Scott. The issues will be on the lines – they’ll be fine, but not quite good enough in the biggest games. Fortunately, the offensive improvements will overcome that against the mediocre games on the slate.

The Athletic: Indiana has the skill, if not the schedule, to get back to bowl eligibility

Thursdays were always the longest days of Tom Allen’s game week, and they were the ones that told him he couldn’t keep up what he was doing much longer. For everyone else on the Indiana football coaching staff, it was the shortest day of the week. Allen tried to make sure the rest of his coaches were out of the office by 3 p.m. on Thursdays so they could have date nights with their wives or spend time with their children before a full day of work and possibly travel on Friday and then gameday on Saturday. But when Allen got everyone else to leave, he got to work. The first three days of the week, he had to be Indiana’s head coach. Thursday was the first chance he usually had to also be its defensive coordinator.

Athlon: #67 Indiana Hoosiers Season Preview and Prediction

Tom Allen and his Indiana University football team need to flip the script. In back-to-back seasons, the Hoosiers have won all three nonconference games and inched to the brink of bowl eligibility, needing to defeat Purdue in the season finale to complete the deal. And then whiffed. The Hoosiers finished 5–7 during both seasons Allen has been in charge. Indiana has endured 27 seasons without a bowl victory.

Considering current state for the two programs, this is probably the best outcome we could realistically hope for. 

Hopefully we win and can get a 2:30p start at Purdue on BTN as well.

Indiana could have been favored by 10 and I would still take them. This season is about to get ugly for this staff.

Nothing wrong with this season getting ugly for a Riley attitude cleansing.

I’m just tired of it being a crutch for this staffs inability to get their team to play a whole game this entire season besides once. Frosts guys have been major disappointments as well so blaming Riley, who through this many games has a better record than Frost, seems lazy.

Many of the players on this roster aren't capable.

Some.of Frost's guys have been disappointments and Frost isn't wasting any time showing them the door.

JD is the only offensive starter who also started on Riley's 2017 team.  Maybe once he's gone Frost can start coaching.

Frost had.better production from PELINI recruits than he's had from Riley recruits.

If that doesn't tell you how bad Riley sucked........
