After a few seasons of preaching stability, the Saskatchewan Roughriders appear to be set for some big changes for 2023. The Riders finished the 2022 .
Previously: Indiana Offense I came into this year reasonably optimistic about the IU defense. They lost some big pieces on the defensive line and star LB Micah McFadden, but returned an experienced secondary with several key pieces. So far, my optimism has not been rewarded. Indiana enters Saturday's clash with Michigan ranked 73rd in SP+ defense. Their pass defense, which was supposed to be a strength of the team, is getting gashed week after week. The remnants of the 2020 defense are still here, but the unit is not clicking. The Film: For this game I used the Nebraska tape.

Also your one good win (Illinois) has to be a statistical fluke against a team that is still getting dogged by preseason expectation is ranking system
