Because they have a decent amount of returning production (52nd overall), the coaching staff is still intact, they are great in the portal, and they were easily the best team last year.

If you think that they were totally QB-dependent last year, then you weren't watching their games. They ran the ball really well and their defense was as good as they get.

- I think Cig is a great coach but kind of shocked how everyone just assumes they're going to be awesome again - By y2wolv August 17, 2026 at 12:05:02 PM

  - they were not a bad team in 2024, they were a pretty darn good team - By DoctorD August 17, 2026 at 01:19:53 PM
  - It seems reasonable to me to expect them to be a touchdown worse than Oregon and Ohio State. (nm) - By suede August 17, 2026 at 12:12:20 PM
  - He single handedly won a few games. (PSU) It is hard to replicate that magic. **** - By Cincywolve August 17, 2026 at 12:10:54 PM
  - Agree, QB should be fine, but he will be Heisman level?* - By MasterBates August 17, 2026 at 12:05:54 PM
    - Hoover is coming in with a better resume than Mendoza did to be fair.* - By gbmcq August 17, 2026 at 12:12:04 PM
      - I’ll add that Hoover ran a lot of RPO’s at TCU, so he will be very comfortable in IU’s offense. However, he will be little threat on the ground.* - By AuntLilly August 17, 2026 at 12:44:27 PM
      - He is certainly older and more experienced but I will take the under on being as good this year.* - By MasterBates August 17, 2026 at 12:17:12 PM
      - Yes. but Mendoza had a magical season. Rare level of clutch*** - By Cincywolve August 17, 2026 at 12:16:45 PM
