Indiana Football: 3 storylines to watch with the defense this summer
Indiana posted one of their best defensive seasons back in 2020 and looks to get back to that way this year.
3 things to watch for this summer heading into the football season
- Thread starter KevinVera
- Start date
I expect coach Allen will improve a bad defense into a much better defense like he did when he first came to IU. Coach knows how to turn around a defense and I hope coach Bell can do the same for IU's offense. If both units and the STs improve we will see a much better season in 2022.
Well, you just described improvement in all 3 of the groups- Offense, defense, special teams.
That should improve anybody.
Hope you are correct.
Moving the defensive schemes back closer to what we saw in 2020 would be a huge improvement. Getting the OL in synch with focus on fundamental execution would be a huge improvement. Making a QB decision early and giving the offense more reps together would be a huge improvement.
I know you know all this but with Bell we are likely to see up tempo play which we are used to, but the QB needs to be in synch with his team for this to work.
Coming off an awful year, new staff, and tough schedule. That is a tough combo.
It is better than staying with the coaches that caused the season to happen. If it is so difficult then Michigan will be down this year. I do see your point though.
On offense... Tempo offense requires trust and confidence in each other in order to be successful. It's going to take time to build that, especially with so many new transfers.
Defense will be fine.
Defense will be fine.
I am excited to see the results of new faces (coaches and players) putting their best effort forward in their new situation. I also believe these are circumstances that brings the best out of Allen. He takes to the challenge of learning how personnel tick. Also being heavily engaged with Hiller and the OL and gearing up to run the show on D game day keeps his edge honed.
