Indiana will be a hard out

[SummitLion]

They are looking really good. I think their QB has completed 12 in a row with a lot of YAC. How will we stack up? They play Oregon 2 weeks after us, but besides that and PSU, they should roll through the rest of their schedule. I know it's early, but they look playoff bound again. Thoughts?

They look good. But they looked good last year, too, until they faced elite defenses. We'll see.

Have to give Cignetti credit. He’s doing pretty much what’s never been done with IU football.

Agree. They have good athletes and are well coached. If we don’t bring our “A” game, we’re likely to have a very big problem. —We are deeper, but James needs to have them ready…it will likely be a 4 quarter battle

Indiana is obviously good but I don't know how much to take from 1 game. They only beat Old Dominion 27-14.

I'm more worried about PSU. I predicted 11-1 but now I think 10-2 or possibly even 9-3. I've watched other teams and the thing that sticks out to me is how fast top QBs get rid of the ball. Allar takes more time and I think that's some of his problem. He didn't run much in the first 3 games and I assume the was by design. I think he's going to have to run to keep opponents off balance. To be honest I'm surprised that we're still 3 pt favorites vs Oregon.

Cignetti may be the best coach in the country.

I wouldn't disagree at this point, but he seems like such a jerk. He's the one that said, "Google it. I win."

#1, college football requires mobile QBs and quick-developing plays. It might be that the ol Texas Wishbone with all its variations and some newly-added twists could be effective today. IMHO.

He does have swagger and seems arrogant in interviews. Seems a bit Saban like. Doesn’t he have PA roots?

 

[dbbp]

Well he’s from PA and he was the HC of IUP for a handful of years. He turned IUP around before he moved on. I personally have never thought Curt was a jerk, I think he just flat out has it!

He might have been a GA or position coach under Saban.

 

[Leatherhelmets]

He was born in Pittsburgh. Was a GA and assistant at Pitt. His Dad coached at Pitt, WVU and I believe IUP. So he considers himself a WPA guy. Rocky as hell bit had backed it up. I think we beat IU 34-24.
