Cignetti Renews Contract

He may be a fine coach but IU is NOT going to be an annual power in the B10. 7-8 wins will be their norm.

But isn't that better than what IU normally has done? For many years they would go 2 - 2 or 3 - 1 in non-conference games and then win 1 or 2 in conference. Since 1968, IU has beaten Michigan a total of 3 times (1987, 2020,2024). The last time the Hoosiers beat Ohio State was 1988.

I can't say Pollack is wrong.

If we are forced to pass and play in a scoring fest we're in trouble.

If we can just move the sticks and keep a lead we're a tough out.

If #2 gets some late season chemistry with RL we have a decent shot

I also believe ND can be a tough out ... The defense is playing a level not seen in a long time. The offense, while sputtering at times, is also showing signs of growth. The potential downfall would be special teams, specifically, the kicking game. The inability to convert FG's into points is an issue.
As 88 noted, if ND has to play in a shootout, that could be an issue. But, ND is also beginning to show signs of being able to push the ball downfield.

Why does it seem like "hosting a playoff game" is the ultimate goal at ND these days?

They were never going to have a chance in 2012 unless Bama had a boatload of turnovers. Completely outcoached and the talent disparity was significant. That's not the case now. The gap has been narrowed dramatically.

2012 Alabama-Notre Dame is the only game I have ever posted a predicted score for Notre Dame to lose. They had no shot. Zero.

And frankly, 2020 was the same. Alabama was that good. I have always believed Nick Saban held back in 2020.
