Coach Ank was the new Hire for the Hoosiers for season 30 of the NDL, Coach Ank didn't have to travel to far as he came from just north in Michigan to take over Indiana in Bloomington. In fact, the 373-mile trip was quite easy, 5 and half hours. Now that the trip is over what can Ank do for the Hoosiers.
Ank admits this transition won't be easy...I'm an option man, here in Bloomington we don't have the offense to run the option like I'd want to. We will sneak it in every now and then, but by no means will it be the staple of our offense. We will mix the play calling up probably at a 65/35 ratio. I like what we have at QB with Kurtis Rourke, the 6'5" 225-pound SR. from Oakville ON can spread the ball around. Just needs to make better decisions. On the ground we have a nice 1-2 Combo with Ellison and Lawton (both can get the job done) our receivers worry me a bit with Sarratt, Cooper, Price and Cross...none of them are going to take the top off the coverage, but all have great hands in traffic...as you all know i love the TE position...Zach Horten may be the best TE in the conference if he stays healthy.
The defense we will run a 3-3-5 led by LBer Aiden Fisher and speedster at CB Shawn Asbury II. I think we will be very tough against the run and physical up front with Kamara, Tucker, Carr and West. Also watch for Jailan Walker to get a lot of run at the outside Lber position.
Our goal this season here in Bloomington is to get to a Bowl game...6 or 7 wins.....knock off our rivals Michigan St and Purdue, win the games we are supposed to and pull off a upset of 2.
I'm glad to be in Indiana and hopefully I can stick around for a long while.
