Coaching matters. Schools don't recruit themselves and talent doesn't automatically equal wins.

Indiana has great talent and very likely the Heisman winner, but sure

You think Indiana doesn’t have talent?

Lane Kiffin just said it in his press conference the other day. You can have the best scheme in the world, and you will still win absolutely nothing if you don’t have great players.

In this era. Coaching is the only thing that matters. It’s the only separation in the NIL era.

Hence why we after Kiffin. It was ugly and exhausting. But it is was what was necessary.

Thanks for the lesson, professor.

Talent does equal wins

You know who was the head coach of the greatest college football team of all time?

Cignetti is a perfectionist. His team just won the big 10 championship for the 1st time since 1967. Watching his postgame press conference just now and the guy is worried about the stat sheet

Did we watch the same game? They win because of a kicker miscue.

Hoosiers luck about to come to end in the CFP.

Cignetti is a perfectionist and smart in a profession not known for rocket scientist.

Dude, they held Ohio State to 10 points. Did you watch the game? Their lines were physical and they don’t make many mistakes.

Actually not. They both had a kicking miscue. So it was a wash.

They've played 2 teams all year. Oregon and last night. The OOC opponents are a total joke. UGA will dominate them IF it comes down to that. I am still not sold on IU whatsoever.

That's true but they also outperformed Ohio State all game. They had the ball in the redzone 6 or 7 times. The defense was unbelievable as well.


Sure it was a close game between two evenly matched teams, but Indiana deserved the win.

We need to stop thinking of Indiana as one of the little guys..

They have some beasts on that team, especially on defense...and those receivers are big and physical.

They dont have a shortage of talent.

True, that’s why the combo of the talent at LSU plus Kiffin is going to be insane. I cannot freaking wait.
