He personally did?

I think Indiana used the transfer portal wisely and recruited a roster of experienced players.

That plus increase in NIL funds helps.

A bunch of mid players mostly. Certainly not a roster on paper you’d expect to win it all. I’d say the ability to handle a team like OSU has a LOT to do with their S&C. There’s little doubt this was a problem the last couple of years. Will we see enough of a difference in one year? We better.

I hope a new S&C coach is the magical fix you believe it will be.

Not being negative, but there's a reason Tennessee is projected to win 6.5 games this season.

S&C is not the primary reason for that either.

Yeah didnt many of those players follow Cignetti over from Tulane? That Indiana roster, on paper, should've been playing in the Alamo Bowl. Not playing for a national championship.

James Madison, but yes. The entire college football world has been trying to explain away Indiana’s championship. Heupel pulled a coup getting their guy. I just hope it’s soon enough. It’s pretty obvious by these gains that we were way off where we should have been. Hopefully, that continues over the summer.

It has more to do with just in game performance. I think Indiana had one of the lowest injury rates and played fewer players than almost anyone.

Yes, James Madison. Thank you! I'm not sure where I got Tulane from.

See, everyone is praising the hire and the gains they are reporting. But curmudgeonist a-hole in me just thinks, "why did Huepel let it get so far in the shutter in the first place?"

This is a hillarious take, as few would find me a Koolaid drinker. I think we can make a major improvement and still struggle just due to the schedule. We also have an incredibly young roster. Indiana didn’t play this schedule and was able to build up to a few games. If we win 7 games or fewer, this fan base is going to demand a change. Fair or not, it’s year 6 and you can’t be going backwards.
