The Fighting Ilini SMACKED a decent Wyoming team 38-6, and considering they missed two field goals & had a TD called back by penalty, was not even as close as the score....
IU has a mystery offense (fish or fowl?) driven by a new OC with a record of coaching on losing teams, 7 of 11 new starters on offense (according to Phil Steele & others), a new DC (tho fortunately CTA will be back to calling plays), and a team that was 2-10 last year ! (Phil S predicts IU will DOUBLE its wins, but that is still - uh - 4....)
Yet, IU is favored by 2.5 (down from 5.5 or so, but STILL !), despite the fact that head coaches improve MOST between their first & second year, as Bielema is...
Unless this is 1966-to-1967 all over again (PLEASE GOD !!! 🙏) IU should be strong underdogs in this one...
Does the betting industry have spies at IU practices and/or know something we DON'T...?!??? 🤷♂️
