“Starting a first time QB on the road, at night (you know it will be) in conference is dicey.”

Indiana has become a feeder program for other D1 programs.
They are and will be awful.
Tom Allen will be fired next year.
I never bought into his well choreographed make sure the cameras are rolling spaz act like most of you did.

I agree with the bulk of your post.

Another aspect for consideration:
Who opts to move on:

Aside from the general attrition of players buried on the depth chart.

Steele says he is coming back.
Tommy 2 Thumbs?
Stover?
Procter?
Wypler?
Cody Simon/P. Gaotoede
I would expect some attrition in the wr room from kids that didn’t play a non-garbage time snap and may have been recruited over.
Myian - he only played a few snaps last night.

With an offense that probably won't be as reliable in a shootout and the same old same old on defense, there are several potential landmines on the schedule next year.

Starting a first time QB on the road, at night (you know it will be) in conference is dicey.
WKU pissing all over this defense doesn't sound like a lot of fun right now
at Notre Dame
At Wisky the week after the annual Penn State war (which means they are in the annual post Penn State let down spot)
At tsun

Day loses 3 in the regular season next year with the last one in that mix and Gene has to start thinking about it.

1. Indiana will provide no challenge
2. Agreed on WKU. They'll probably score 35+ but we'll probably score 60+.
3. It's good that ND is the 4th game to ease our starter in.
4. Penn State will be tough but that's at home.
5. Didnt realize Wisconsin is after Penn State so that could be a trap game (probably at night too).
6. Bye week early sucks. Going to be beat to shit by the Michigan game next year.

Personally I think all of those players return (not Proctor though).

I thing PG has indicated he will move on.
He never got his footing here.

Steele, Tommy, Wypler, Cade returning would be huge.

Right... PG and Proctor probably are going pro but I think everyone else returns. I think Matthew Jones will return too.

OL could be very solid with Jackson, Wypler, Jones and Fryer. We are literally looking for either 1 starting OT or OG. If an elite guard is available after spring we could then move Jackson to tackle for example.

Just a matter of finding someone for our secondary.

I'm done with expecting a B1G title and beating scUM each year. Those have been my expectations for 20 years. I'm not expecting that anymore because I don't know that we can. Go out, do it, and prove me wrong.

Yep. I don’t think we are gonna lose 3 games like some. I fully expect that they’ll at least win 10 games, but unless something significantly changes from now until next November there’s not much confidence in them beating Michigan. Day just doesn’t have it when it comes to the big stage.

With this defense and who knows what at QB, I'm not writing anything off next year. Could be 11-1, could be 7-5. I have no idea.

The average fan has no idea how hard that WKU-ND back to back game is going to be.

Assuming Austin Reed maintains pledge to stay at WKU, that kid can sling it….and is pretty mobile. Hell, I think he’d win the QB competition at OSU if he ever decided to transfer.

Then ND the following week…..and they just got a huge transfer in Sam Hartman so their QB situation is now stabilized for 2023.

Next year doesn’t set up very well, that’s for sure.

I’d be surprised if OSU doesn’t land at least 2-3 transfer portal players.

Think a K, OT, CB are all in play.

Don’t forget about the addition of Evan Pryor who was getting amazing reviews this spring. They had carved a role out for him beyond being a traditional RB that was robbed from this offense once he went down with the injury. Here’s hoping he can stay injury free going forward (obviously a scary preposition after what we witnessed all year).

Is pretty amazing to think about how the team prepared to play coming into season and how they had to adjust after losing JSN, Pryor, and then the balancing act with Miyan and Henderson all year.

and let's not forget a trip to everyone's favorite spot in Indiana. I fucking hate playing Purdue.
