I have iufb as 7-5 in the regular season and then we win the Redbox or Pinstripe Bowl. So 8-5 two years in a row.

That's why a fast start is a must. We need six wins going into the Penn State game.My biggest concern is the brutal string of games in the back half of the season. MSU, PSU, @ OSU, Illinois, @UM, and PU.
Do think IU can get a possible 5-1, 6-0 start to help, don't think MSU at home will be as bad (i.e. a win for IU finally). PSU could be a possible upset win (finally) or maybe at UM. Not sure we're ready to beat OSU yet. And home against PU I believe will also be another W, though if they have all of their WR weapons, in a bucket game, they can be dangerous.With where IU is right now, I think a 10-2 season is just as likely as a 6-6 season. Win the toss-ups an couple upsets it's the former. Revert to losing the toss ups and not getting any upsets, it's the latter.
I lean toward #9Windiana and the Outback Bowl. My biggest concern is the brutal string of games in the back half of the season. MSU, PSU, @ OSU, Illinois, @UM, and PU.

How big of an improvement the defense makes probably determines whether we win 6 or 7 games, versus 8-10 games.MSU, Illinois, and PU are just regular teams next year. Nothing special. I think our defense will be able to stymie all 3 teams.
Find an edge rusher or run the defense to have an edge rusher.How big of an improvement the defense makes probably determines whether we win 6 or 7 games, versus 8-10 games.
After witnessing the work our dline did against Tennessee, color me excited. I really like Sio, Jerome Johnson, Lance Bryant, Shamar Jones, and the big juco DT, DeMarcus Elliot. Those players showed promise and playmaking ability that it takes to win in this conference. They certainly need to find an edge rusher.
If Indiana can garner 1 of the 3 DE's visiting in the next 2 wks. the recruiting class is going to improve the defense.
No doubt that none of those three look to be "special." But 2/3 were bowl teams this year and there's a fair to good chance all could be bowl teams next year. So even if none of them are scary on their own, thrown in the mix with 3 probably top 10 teams, that's a tough stretch of games.MSU, Illinois, and PU are just regular teams next year. Nothing special. I think our defense will be able to stymie all 3 teams.
To beat MSU and PSU next year would be great.Wins - WKU, BSU, @ CT, MD, @ RU, MSU
Losses - @ UW, @ OSU, @ UM
Pick-em - PSU, @ IL, PU
Best Case - 9 - 3
Worst Case - 6-6
Prediction - 8-4
Hardly think PSU is a “pick em” game at this point but I do think an upset W is possible for sure.
2019 - PSU by 7 at PSU (and we had the botched punt)
2018 - PSU by 5 and we could have just as easily won
2020 is at IU, and if Penix plays, I can easily see a toss-up.
With 17 year-end starters returning from an eight win team, I think a 9-3 season is very realistic. And, among the elite opponents (Wisconsin, Penn State, Ohio State and Michigan), we'll knock off at least one of them.
I saw that and I am not buying it.The SI rankings has PSU #4 returning team in country and pretty sure their incoming FR class rates higher than IU.
I acknowledge we’ve played them well of late and at home, with Penix, we could look like formidable opponent. But until we knock them off, I don’t see it as a “pick em” game yet. (Key word is yet!)
