Bottom line is... we have more talent than we've ever had. The coaching is better, the facilities are better, but at the end of the day... Jimmies and Joes trump all.

btownqb Posted May 12, 2021 Report Share Posted May 12, 2021 (edited) I also think Hendershot and Matthews are very close to being Top 10. I actually think PH is absolutely a top 10 TE, but he didn't have the year last year to be on this list, which is fine. Edit: actually PH is listed on their names to "watch for" Edited May 12, 2021 by btownqb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The one against PSU, Penix threw absolutely, unreasonably hard... and the official had to duck to avoid the ball and then bam the ball is on Peyton. Yes, should have caught it.. but I can honestly understand why he didn't. And that's coming from a former QB lol 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The ball comes at the receiver at incredibly difficult angles and velocity. Hopefully working with Tuttle will help him adapt better. Where I thought Hendershot shined was going up and getting Ramsey’s 50/50 balls...those are a thing of the past. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeerBQ Posted May 14, 2021 Report Share Posted May 14, 2021 I don’t know if I’ve posted yet, but it’s worth saying again if I have. I’m more excited for this season than any I can remember. We confirmed that our tickets have been ordered last week. I don’t know where we’ll be sitting but we will be there. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's remarkable how far the program has progressed in just a couple of seasons. 7 wins would be considered a mild disappointment with games vs Cincy, Iowa, OSU, UM, and PSU. Plus Maryland has a talented group (questionable coach), and Rutgers isn't the pushover they once were. I think we win the bucket game but it's very unlikely it will be a blowout. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, I think we have more talent than that this year. A 6-6 season would mean losses to OSU, PSU, UM, Cinci, and 2 of Iowa, Minnesota, PU, MSU, Maryland, and Rutgers. Crazy to think that I'd be disappointed with a 6 win season. Amazing how far we've come in 2 years. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is remarkable how far we've come. 2 summers ago, there was a lot of talk about if Allen was going to be fired or if he'd turn it around. I'm not too worried about Maryland until they show it on the field. They're 2-10 in their last 12 games. Even with an increase in talent (seriously, can't get why kids want to play for him), I'm confident he won't coach them up. Rutgers is kind of the opposite. They'll be coached up, but I just don't think they have the talent. That cupboard was really bare. I think they're a year or two away from being a consistent threat. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just because it has been so long since we have beaten them, I would take 8-4 with a win over OSU rather than 9-3 with a loss to OSU. We really need to get the OSU and bowl win monkeys off our backs. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They probably need to find a way to get two wins out of the ND, OSU, Minnesota, Northwestern, Iowa, Wisconsin, IU games. That will be tough. If they only get one out of that, there's no room for error with their other 2 nonconference games, Illinois, Nebraska, and Michigan St. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpiderMonkey Posted May 19, 2021 Report Share Posted May 19, 2021 (edited) This may be the first time I have seen IU mentioned as a potential (Longshot) chance to make the playoff.

Their coach knows how to win games. The East is so brutal. Edited May 19, 2021 by BobSaccamanno 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
