Re: B1G Predictions
I think IU will be okay on Offense this upcoming season. While IU lost Chappell and Doss the offensive skill positions at IU are still the biggest strength of the team and pretty talented.
At receiver Demarlo Belcher will fill Doss's role as the number 1 wideout and oppostie Belcher, Duwyce Wilson should have a breakout year like Belcher had last season. Kofi Hughes should be solid as the slot wide receiver. Tight End Ted Bolser had a good freshman year last year and should only improve going into his sophomore season.
Number 1 running back Darius Willis has talent but has lacked durability. If he can stay healthy the whole season he has the talent to put up some good numbers. I'm also interested in seeing 2 newcomers at running back in redshirt freshman Matt Perez and true freshman D'Angelo Roberts. Then there's also Nick Turner who shown some flashes at RB last season.
I'm sure the biggest question people have about Indiana is at Quarterback. Even though Indiana lost Ben Chappell I feel that both Dusty Kiel and Edward Baker-Wright are both more talented than Chappell they just lack the experience that Chappell had. Whoever wins the starting QB job (which I think will be Dusty Kiel) will go through some growing pains but I think and really hope people will be surprised by the play of IU's quarterback this season. I just hope Kevin Wilson picks a QB and sticks with him and none of that rotating QB stuff. Also, IU has a good looking incoming dual-threat QB in Tre Roberson who won Indiana's Mr. Football. He has the potential to be a good QB but I hope he isn't a factor at all this year or else the questions at QB are a lot worse than I believe.
So, I think with Kevin Wilson being an offensive minded coach coming to IU and the talent IU has at the offensive skill positions IU should be fine on offense even with the questions at QB, in my opinion. What's going to keep IU from being competitive in the Big Ten will be what's always kept IU from being competitive in the Big Ten and that is defense. The future on offense looks good but I hope Kevin Wilson can develop a decent defense or else I feel like Wilson's tenure at IU will be like every other coach at IU, decent to good offenses that can't overcome the lack of poor defensive play.
