Taking a closer look at our upcoming games/opponents this fall, a few things become apparent….even with conceding a likely loss at tOSU, optimistically if the Hawks simply beat who they’re supposed to beat, take care of business at home (which would include a W against a Michigan team with only 3 returning defensive starters from last year), and take care of business in a traditionally strong month of November (will be facing all four B10 West contenders, 2 home/2 away), there’s little else standing in the way of a return trip back to Indy for some B10 Championship redemption!
How do I figure this? As near as I can tell, aside from tOSU game, the Hawks would either be favorites or no more than 2-4 point underdogs in any other game this year. And despite the Special Teams losses of Shudak and Jones, our very good defense should be even better than last year IMO, while with any luck/more experience, the offense will stay on the field longer, cashing in on more sustainable scoring drives…..perhaps a recipe for a memorable special year? Especially when a repeat B10 West title would insure a tOSU rematch, NOT in their own backyard this time?
GO HAWKS!
