We tried and failed. I’ll reserve judgement on Indiana. Like to see how he does in recruiting and if he can sustain it. Our Washington win beats any of their win so far.
It's not hard if we had a proper big time donor base. We do not. NIL, unless changes are made to the rules, is gonna handcuff anyone who coaches on The Banks. Those who are complaining about Steve Pikiell's less than stellar 2025 recruiting class so far need also look no further than the lack of a sufficient NIL war chest.
Just take Indiana for example. They rode the hype with the last coach + Penix. Fast forward Penix transfers and it became a train wreck.
Nebraska and Wisconsin are middle of the pack B1G teams and we got manhandled badly at the Lines.
Um the 2nd string QB isn't the problem that the 1st string one is.

Obviously only one outlet. But our SOS’s aren’t too far off.
OMG you just posted a tweet from the biggest dick to ever grace this board. This kid's a complete asshole and was kicked off for outing someone. If I was you, I'd delete this post. @mikemarc1 I like arguing with you it's civil and just banter. But this kid's a douche and went into someone's personal life and made it public.
Seriously. That's the bar for a schedule set up for 8+ wins and all the players coming back? Wow. So he just has to go 4-6 vs. fbs teams not named Ohio State, Mich, Penn State, Iowa, Oregon.
Not so-called, he's a fvcking prick and no I wasn't the one he outed. Could careless what he says.
With the current set of injuries to our best players, while there’s less chance of a loss next week, maybe, there’s also much less chance of a win. We lack quality depth in most position groups, and after Brown’s injury today, the depth in the RB room, probably the deepest position group, is now in question as well.
Maybe it’s just semantics, but IMO, the schedule was never set up for 8+ wins. That was always an unrealistic expectation where people were counting as wins games against opponents we’ve struggled against (like Nebraska and Wisconsin).
Not sure what game you were watching but we were manhandled on both lines today as well as last week. He’s in year 5 and he can’t recruit and develop lines on either side of the ball? Today, their ability to run the ball opened up everything in the playbook. They stacked the box and we couldn’t run, then when we tried to pass we couldn’t pass protect.
So called experts we're even talking about outside playoff Cinderella..which I NEVER bought into. But winning 6 last year and having your whole team back with a perceived QB improvement and removing 3 guaranteed losses OSU, mich,PSU.. ..that's gotta feel like 7-8 realistic.
That is true and is also the primary reason our skill players are struggling. Although receivers dropping passes is very problematic and has nothing, or at least very little, to do with OL play.
