Comparing last seasons IU team to this years is certainly a choice. Have you watched them play? They are playing elite football.
I was hoping our RB room was just banged up and not 100% and Georgia was gonna be the game where they stepped it up. Unfortunately it does seem like this years RB room is not at a level commensurate with the compensation.
The OL is bad and there's no real reason for that.
The WR are significantly worse than last year and as bad as I can remember going back to 2021.
The IDL got their shit together and has played substantially better since Florida.
EDGE is damned good.
LB is good enough but we can get more there.
DBs have been hot and cold, but mostly hot. Not sure how much is scheme and how much is clear lack of film study or football IQ. Physically they aren't getting juked out of their pants they are blowing assignments or coverages are way too soft.
A head coach can easily work with his staff to work on all these things, right now it seems like sark is more interested in being an OC than he is a head coach. He hasn't been honest with his assessment of personnel, he's clearly spending too much time on stuff that isn't the other team that they are facing and the team is no longer responding well to him, the team quit in that second half and it's fucking embarassing.
