I think we have a lot of potentially good players that are freshman. A lot of speed. I think Benning, Sanders, and Charles will be good.A million freshmen who are barely playing.
We shall see. Obviously we all hope they turn out great, but people though Ethan Nation would be playing and he transferred after a year.I think we have a lot of potentially good players that are freshman. A lot of speed. I think Benning, Sanders, and Charles will be good.
Interesting comment about coaches leaving decimating the program. Rhule likes to send a message to the admin through his pressers; maybe a little nudge towards our AD?
Coach Matt Rhule Monday Press Conference Notes | Indiana-Expected Tommi Hill to play last week, but ruptured the plantar fasciitis during the tunnel walk - which is actually a good thing. He'll have a chance to play this week-Otherwise, we are pretty healthy-Coach Cignetti has done an amazing job, Indiana is a great team-Starting to feel the impact of the 2 minute time out-In college football now, if you lose a coach to another job, it can decimate the program--Thought we handled the transfer portal well this year-Our recruiting will get better and better - “we just have to win”-After Illinois we learned a lot of valuable lessons, thought we had the right attitude vs Rutgers and Purdue-Love being the underdog-Defense has played a lot better since Illinois, we made crucial mistakes at crucial times-Indiana Offense is balanced well between run vs. pass game-“A good year in college football moving forward is going to be 8-4, 9-3” cites unpredictability nowadays, especially with the enhanced amount of travel-We got better last week during the bye-Excellent practice today, thought the bye week came at a good time-Coach Rhule says a lot of players due things for their personal brand (such as excessive trash talk)-don’t want our team to do that-Coach Rhule struggled watching college football this weekend because of that^-Need to find ways to get long runs, but also appreciate the consistency of the run game-Catastrophic plays on special teams are killing us, but we also make good special teams plays-We study clock management every week, sometimes the announcers don’t and are completely wrong-The other week Dylan Raiola took an intentional sack instead of throwing the ball away, forcing them to use a timeout - these are things that may not be noticed-Dylan Raiola is there first thing in the morning, he’s on a whole other level-Coach Rhule came in a 4:30 AM and fell asleep in his office, Dylan Raiola came in and woke him up -Need every DB we have vs Indiana-The Indiana QB is playing just as good as any other B1G QB-Ceyair Wright earned a Blackshirt-Defense asked Brian Buschini to have a Blackshirt, so he got one as well-Going to need to steal a possession vs Indiana
I don't remember but he must have had just a mediocre game against Rutgers as wasn't he at like 84.4? Either way, awesome job dude! Killing it.
