Tom Allen's overall record at Indiana is 24-22. The reigning B1G Coach of the Year has already beaten 10 of the possible 13 B1G oppoents, with only Ohio State, Iowa and Minnesota left to cross off. Impressively, Allen's Hoosiers have already recorded road wins at Illinois, Maryland, Michigan State, Nebraska, Purdue, Rutgers and Wisconsin. A win Saturday at Iowa would move Indiana to 9-10 overall in B1G road games under CTA despite playing in one of the toughest divisions in college football.

Barring something completely unforseen Allen should move past Kevin Wilson into 7th on the all-time coaching wins list at Indiana in 2021. CTA could end the season as high as 4th on that list:

4. James Sheldon - 34
5. John Pont - 31
6. James Horne - 30
7. Kevin Wilson - 26
8. CTA - 24

Note it took Wilson 73 games to get to 26 wins, Allen could do it in as few as 48 contests.

If Penix stays healthy all year I project he'll end the season 6th or 7th on Indiana's career passing yardage list (5500 to 6400 yards). TDs is a little tricker to predict, No. 9 needs at least 17 TD tosses to enter into a three-way tie with Antwaan Randle El and Peyton Ramsey (42).

Ty Fryfogle needs 1,021 yards to pass James Hardy and become Indiana's all-time leading receiver. He needs 806 yards to pass Courtney Roby for 2nd and 643 yards to move into the 3rd slot. Eight Touchdown receptions would move Fry into 3rd in terms of career TDs (1st and 2nd are realistically out of reach).

Peyton Hendershot needs 28 catches for 402 yards and 6 touchdowns to become Indiana's all-time leading Tight End in all three categories.

If RB Steven Carr can reach 1,000 yards he'll be Indiana's 5th RB to do so since 2014.

Obviously wins and losses are the most important thing but I always like to track those who are moving up the career leaders lists.
