Storylines for 2017

[IndianaHawk]

What is the most interesting storyline to everyone this season? Not the most important to the team, but what you are most looking forward to see how it plays out.

 

[ibahawkeye]

For me, the biggest and probably most obvious story is offense under Brian.

How much difference will the average fan notice?? Will it be drastic?
What kind of changes?

 

[IndianaHawk]

For me, it's the use of Epenesa.

 

[The Big LeHAWKski]

It's gotta be "Who's our QB?", with the B. Ferentz-impact a close 2nd place.

 

[BILLYBOBSTEXAS]

Offensive philosophy!

 

[SpiderRico]

Storylines I'm looking forward to:

1. How the new offensive philosophy, particularly the use of TEs, emerges throughout the season
2. The number of freshman, particularly in the WR and defensive backfield, that play
3. How the new 2-headed monster at RB plays out and if Wadley can be kept happy splitting time with Butler
4. How the new QB (whomever it ends up being) performs on the road....ISU will be the first big test of that
5. How our overall aggressiveness may change (on both sides of the ball) with all of the new, young, blood on the coaching staff

 

[hawkdrummer1]

1. A shiny new(er)productive offense
2. The running back tandem of AW and JB
3. Emergence of one or more young WRs

so yeah, basically the offense.

It begins and ends with this. Even if GD didn't "step down " they were still going to have to revamp the passing attack .

It is obvious that KF wants to pass this on Brian. KF has to sell this, he has to convince people BF is the next guy.

Does any opposing team come out and stomp on the mid field Hawkeye?

Agree.

Defense will be stout.

Offense will have lots and lots of moving parts that need to galvanize....play schemes, two stud RBs, no WRs, TE play.
