After analyzing the Hoosiers 2010 schedule I have come up with a best case scenario record of 8-4. Ideally, the offense will be pretty explosive assuming we stay healthy. Our receiving core will be very difficult to stop, running game much improved with Willis, and Chappell takes another step in the right direction and is close to the top in the Big Ten for passing yards and he cuts down on the INT's.
On defense, the defensive line does a good job stopping the run. Our tackles are solid and our ends find a way to get decent pressure on the QB. Andre Kates is a big help in the secondary and the safeties to a good but not great job at defending the pass. The linebacking core gets solid play from Replogle, Thomas, Sims and any other youngster who steps up.
9/2 Towson W
9/18 @ Western Kentucky W
9/25 Akron W
10/2 Michigan W ( A well fought game but the Hoosiers get their revenge)
10/9 @ Ohio State L
10/16 Arkansas State W
10/23 @ Illinois W (They lose to Juice to Benn combo and continue to struggle in the Big Ten)
10/30 Northwestern W (No more Kafka to run around, I would think they would get either this game or Illinois but maybe not both, however this is a best case scenario look)
11/6 Iowa L
11/13 @ Wisconsin L
11/20 Penn State L
11/27 @ Purdue W (Purdue loses their whole secondary and the Hoosier passing game is just too much)
Again this is a best case scenario I believe for next season. Realistically, I think we finish either 6-6 or 7-5. We should take care of our non conference schedule and I like possible wins over Michigan, Illinois, Northwestern, and Purdue.

Penn State loses a lot, and if we get them, I think we get them this year. O$U's a guaranteed loss, but I think the others are winnable. Not likely wins in the least, but after last year, I could definitely see us beating Bucky, Iowa, or a younger Penn State Fightin' JoPas team.
