“off the expectations roller coaster, okay? And that's all right. I've been there. Take some Dramamine, set this one out. And this is just going to be a year to hit the reset button. Maybe that is why we're not hearing as much from Penn State fans, even though the win total is saying nine and three, 10 and two. Maybe there's like, ah, we'll see. We just want to have a good competitive football team this year. Matt Campbell opening win total set at nine and a half. There's a bigger win total than what Kyle Whittingham has at Michigan. I actually got to hear from Kyle Whittingham this week as Michigan is opening up its first spring practice of the post Sharon Moore era and really it's like the post Harbaugh Moore era like I mean we just we're kind of we're moving on we're packing up we're moving on now Bryce Underwood is still there Kyle Whittingham with a few words um about that Tom what's your what's your thought about what eight and a half says about the Wolverines here in 2026 I I think it's a reasonable expectation I think …”

Fans should expect at least nine wins if everything goes smoothly, making this season a critical reset for the program.
“… important coaching is. Like, I just, I can't believe it. You know, I'm going to let you bask in it. I know you said, well, you already turned down Penn State. There's no way he's going to the NFL. I just can't get over how good of a coach he is and how there are nine opening jobs right now. One of which could easily be filled by him. But, you know, if I'm an Indiana fan, you know, it's going to be tough to replace a quarterback, obviously. But if he stays, it feels like this is just the beginning, which is just crazy to think you guys becoming a powerhouse in college football. But to go 16-0, to do …”
“… split and he had to make a quick decision. You know, that was, we're playing to win. I'm not kicking the three here. We either get burned here, we get stopped, or we're going for a touchdown. And, you know, Cignetti, talk all the time about how important coaching is. Like, I just, I can't believe it. You know, I'm going to let you bask in it.

But if he stays, it feels like this is just the beginning, which is just crazy to think you guys becoming a powerhouse in college football. But to go 16-0, to do that, something we've never seen before. And, you know, and that game wasn't their best game, right? There's a lot of things they did sloppily. But all three aspects, right? The defense showed up in the first half. The special team showed up in the second half. And at the end of the game, when you needed the drive, you needed the touchdown. You …”

“it crossed sports. I always think of the Houston Cougars against NC State in the 83 college basketball. They were never tested and all of a sudden, it's got to be a stunning feeling, oh my God, we really might lose a game. Thank goodness they've at least experienced that somewhere along the way. No, I agree with that. I think that was part of the issue last season was they didn't really have anybody on their schedule last year. They play Ohio State, they get beat pretty badly, and then you finally have a close game …”

They play Ohio State, they get beat pretty badly, and then you finally have a close game against Notre Dame and you don't win. This year, they have experience with close games and they've played a tougher schedule. Not playoff-wise, but in general, a tougher schedule than Miami. You beat Oregon twice, you beat Penn State, who I know didn't have a great season, but still a talented team. Ohio State, Iowa, this is a very tested Indiana …”
