I prefer to focus on IU not PU, but their post Bucket game cockiness from last year really gnawed at me, so...
I have said their season could go off he rails and so far it is. Their next two games at home are SEC 2-0 Mizzou, then ACC 2-0 Boston College. Those are far from gimmies even at home.
Then they have a ROUGh B10 schedule. At this point, if they have more losses, then suddenly their seemingly winnable away game at Illinois doesn’t seem so easy either.
My guess is they will tighten some things up but I could see this as a max 4-win team or less. If that happens, then will be hard for them to sell the “program on the rise” narrative again, especially if they lose the Bucket game and IU goes bowling.
Ok, now back to focusing on IU, but sometimes you have to savor a little PU FB misery after all their years of bragging and IU Sucks chants.
