IU Football History Broken Down

KelleyFord is an analytic guru and breaks down teams each year based on metrics and numbers. I personally find it to be a bit more accurate than SP+ and Sagarin ratings. Here’s a look on how IU football has progressed and digressed over the years

I really think the 1950s were the worst decade, and 1957 as the worst season in our history. Ever since then we have had at least one bowl game each decade.

There is absolutely no reason now that IU should not be in a bowl game more seasons than not.

Bo McMillan was 20-6-2 in the 3 years post WW 2 with a Big 9 Championship makes him the best

I would have expected the graph to be more consistently low for longer periods of time.

I think they exaggerated the X axis for us.

Good stuff, thanks for sharing. I think Corso was under-rated. Record would have been significantly better if he could have played 3 or 4 non-conference cupcakes every year. Also, Mallory really had IU playing very very competitive ball from 1987-1993; wish he had been a little more flexible/adaptable and that IUs admin was more loyal/patient with Mal. Today, it’s a good time to be an IU football fan, plenty of reason to be optimistic.
