So the defense is terrible. Is that going to stop IU? It'll slow the Hoosiers down, I think, but it won't stop six or seven wins from becoming a reality. It can only get better: Knorr's an upgrade, for one, and I don't think IU will struggle mightily in the shift to the 3-4, thanks to the front seven's readiness for the shift. The secondary is a huge concern, true, but I hope Wilson, Knorr and this staff won't hesitate to slot the younger core into the mix should the returning cast continue to struggle. The defense might be terrible, it might be devastatingly frustrating, it might be horrible but it'll be good enough to get to 6-6.

The schedule does prevent a major breakthrough, however. There's really no time for air: Indiana State's a win, as noted, but IU will be hard-pressed to find extended winning streaks from September through November. So it's crucial that this team not slip up against a North Texas or Rutgers, for example, and notch at least one upset win against a Michigan State or Michigan, for example. Two such wins could mean an eight-win season and a top-four finish in the East Division. That's probably too much. But six wins? Let's do it.

Dang, can't wait for the Mean Green to take the field again. The wait is killing me. Especially this year with all the unanswered questions coming off a great year. Can't wait to see Coach Mac getting these guys pumped. I'm sure glad we have the leader we do and super excited that we signed him to a longer contract too!

Oh...and what our new unis will look like!! Haha :)

GO MEAN FREAKIN GREEN!!
