Commented "Sims will have had a full healthy offseason to learn the new offense and develop chemistry with the rest of the offense. There aren't any preseason games in cfb. Expecting Thompson to develop chemistry with the offense in much less time is a recipe for loding winnable games at Minnesota and Colorado"
Commented "IMO, a player an offense can "ride" is dependable, gets tough yards and doesn't fumble. Grant has 144 attempts, 0 fumbles. Like many between the tackles RBs, he seems to get better with more carries. The two games he's gotten 20+ carries he's thrived. "
Commented "I'm torn on this question, but ultimately I voted no. Every successful offense needs explosive "chunk" plays in the passing game like NU got last week. However, a successful offense can't be totally one dimensional like the Huskers were last week. The leading rusher can't have 1 carry for 60 yds."
Commented "It's the coaches job to put the players in the best position to succeed individually and as a team. If there's something Mark Whipple can implement in the middle of the season to help the OL, and score points, he should do that. "
Commented "Indiana nearly lost to IU & WKU and the W over Idaho wasn't that impressive. They allowed IU RB Chase Brown 199 yds and WKU RB Kye Robichaux 135 yds. Grant, Ervin, Johnson & Yant will have a big day and help keep the defense off the field."
Commented "Overall a C. A year that has been nothing but endless strangeness along with awful (and I don't mean just football related) 2020 gave us an improved defense that made Chin and his assistants look like the best coaches on staff. "
