This is the combined record of the head coaches that IU has defeated this season. I’d argue only one has the potential to be a solid football coach(NE), the rest are not good and history validates that statement. I will say DF at UCLA is too early to call.
I’m calling this out as I think it’s getting brushed over and a big advantage that we have that maybe the sports books have not reflected on the spread.
In the games IU has played this year, for the most part I think you can have a very solid argument that they were the more talented team. You could also argue that the opposing coaches were overall well below average with those less talented teams. This pairs nice for a winning coach from a smaller division, like IU has. Where I think we come out on top is that this will be IU’s first game were the talent level is better on the oppositions sidelines(NEB), and the opposing coaches are at a very high level, enough so that our HC had time spent in the NFL as a HC.
This could be a reach, but I think it holds weight and we won’t be out talented or out coached tomorrow and win out right, I’m calling Neb 27-23.
