I will say 7-5. and i' m tired of people using injuries as excuses for losing. our competition also has injuries. OSU played without star players and still trounced their competition. By now, we should have developed enough depth at every position that we can overcome injuries to key players. Good teams win games despite injuries. I' m tired of the but … but... but … but posts. You have to build a team and expect injuries. If you don't you're not preparing or developing your team. IU lost Cronk last year. They found a better replacement. We should have done the same with Neal and Bailey. Our depth has sucked for the past 4 decades. We are not a 22 man team. Our second stringers need to step up.
looking at the other posts, I see the most optimistic poster pointing towards a 7-5 season at best. Is that actually something we all expected with the talent we brought here? two years ago, people were talking 8-9 wins and challenging for the Big 10 West crown, and now we're saying 7-5 if we're healthy?
I said it before and I'll say it again, I prefer a boring 8-4 or 9-3 record against inferior teams and a low scoring offense than having a high powered scoring offense and going 6-6 again. Going 7-5 seems like kind of a disappointment after reading all the posts from the previous 3 years and all the hype.
the reality of Purdue being Purdue sets in. it would be nice if we went to a bowl game I've actually heard of once in 10 years.
