If this has already been addressed in another thread, I missed it and apologize, but seems like it warrants a separate thread anyway.  

So Wyatt suffers a season-ending injury, and Daley becomes a star.  Daley then goes down after the B1G championship game, Ndukwe fills his spot and has an impactful, career game against Oregon. I feel like Cig and the coordinators could put ME in and I'd be productive.  (Ok, that's a stretch but you get my point). 

"The standard is the standard." 

These coaches truly get the best from their players.  It's phenomenal.

@big-ryan There is so much going on behind the curtain (with development) that we don't get to see that gets players ready to play. But the process is working.

Its critical to develop the players, and they seem to be doing well with several guys year over year.  It will be a big challenge next year with all of the defensive turnover.

@thehoosierhuddle Yes, and I hope it stays behind the curtain.  Trade secrets!

That's another reason we need to hold onto Shanahan and Haines as long as we can.

I love how Haines said basically it up to him to design a defense that puts his players in a position to be successful.  And it's the players job to execute to succeed.
