ITP Spring Previews: Nebraska and Michigan

On the latest episode of Inside the Pylon, Clinton flies "host solo" as Ryan checked Little Caesar's Arena off his arena checklist. But he was joined by Redcast Rob from the Go Big Redcast to help break down the Cornhuskers heading into 2025. What are expectations in year 3 for Matt Rhule? Freshman QB phenom Dylan Raiola was perfectly fine in his debut act, but now with a full offseason in OC Dana Holgerson's system (and exceptional reinforcements at the WR position) what can we expect for an encore? On defense, the unit was exceptional the last two years under Tony White, but with his departure to Florida State (and the promotion of secondary coach John Butler to DC) what can we expect from this unit in 2025? Clinton also hangs around to talk Michigan. Depending on your outlook to last year's team, it went either as expected or was a disappointment in year one under Sherrone Moore. A 7-5 regular season finished with a shocking win against hated rival (and eventual national champion) Ohio State, and the Wolverines stunned Alabama in a bowl game. But heading into 2025, an offense that lagged for much of last season gets a much-needed boon with the importing of new OC Chip Lindsay from North Carolina, and with heralded freshman QB Bryce Underwood. However, the Wolverines do lose what could end up being four first-round picks to the NFL draft, and still have a dearth of wide receivers. What can we expect in year two of the Moore era?

ITP Spring Previews: Iowa and Michigan State

Ryan and Clinton continue discussing the Big Ten heading into 2025 with their spring previews, tonight touching on Iowa and Michigan State. To help break down the Hawkeyes, Jeffrey the Greek from the Eyes on Big Ten podcast joins the show. In 2024 the Hawkeyes offense, despite continued issues at the QB position, took a notable step forward under first-year OC Tim Lester. What can we expect in year two? Is South Dakota St transfer Mark Gronowski a shoe-in to start despite offseason surgery? With several graduations on defense, what will the unit look like in 2025? In East Lansing, Jonathan Smith's Spartans had a 3-0 start before a 2-7 finish to 2024. Hyped transfer QB Aiden Chiles succumbed far too often to turnovers; will he turn the corner in year two as a starter? Can their defense take another step forward after a positive 2024?

ITP Spring Previews: Indiana and Ohio State

Ryan and Clinton return to look back and look ahead at two of the Big Ten's bright spots in 2024 with Indiana and Ohio State. To help us break down the Hoosiers, Sammy Jacobs from Hoosier Huddle on the Rivals network returns to the show. What has the spring mentality of this team been after a breakthrough 2024 season? Some key players return, but who are new names to know for 2025? What are early returns on Cal transfer QB Fernando Mendoza? Ryan Day and Ohio State finally broke through to claim a national title in 2024. The senior-laden squad took understandable hits with draft defections and coordinator losses. Is Julian Sayin a shoe-in for QB1? How does Brian Hartline handle a promotion to play caller, and is Matt Patricia cut out for college? Who replaces the plethora of losses on defense?

ITP Spring Previews: Oregon and Wisconsin

Ryan and Clinton return to continue breaking down early looks at the Big Ten for the 2025 season, talking two programs with pivotal seasons ahead in Oregon and Wisconsin. Dale Bliss returns to the show to help us break down Oregon. In Eugene, Dan Lanning's Ducks took a huge step forward with a 12-0 regular season followed by a Big Ten title. However they bowed out in short order in their first playoff game. In Lanning's fourth year, what are reasonable expectations? Do the Ducks need to make a playoff run to justify their process? In Madison, Luke Fickell's Badgers find themselves on the opposite end of the spectrum. A 20+ year bowl streak ended in 2024 and his two-year run has left much to be desired. After firing OC Phil Longo for Jeff Grimes, is the heat turning up on Fickell in 2025? What constitutes success this season?

ITP Spring Previews: Penn State and Maryland

Ryan and Clinton return for early 2025 Midwest looks, today discussing 2024 bottom-dweller Maryland and potential 2025 favorite Penn State. In College Park, is Mike Locksley on the hot seat? Back-to-back 8-5 seasons in '22 and '23 were followed up with a 4-8 bottoming out in 2024, including a 1-8 mark in the Big Ten. QB Billy Edwards bolted for conference foe Wisconsin, while all-league receiver Tai Felton is off to the NFL. What is there to be excited about with the Terrapins in 2025? Meanwhile in State College, James Franklin is looking to follow the Michigan and Ohio State "bring 'em back" blueprint to build off last season's semifinal run. While there are key losses on the defensive side of the back, star running backs Nicholas Singleton and Kayton Allen return, as does QB Drew Allar. But as has been the case, who is going to catch passes, particularly with the loss of All-American Tyler Warren? How will new DC Jim Knowles mesh into what has been a strong defense the past few seasons?

ITP Spring Previews: Purdue

Ryan and Clinton begin a spring look-ahead across the "Midwest," starting with 2024 bottom dweller Purdue. In West Lafayette, Barry Odom returns to the P4 head coaching ranks five years following his dismissal at Missouri, and most recently following a strong two-year run at UNLV in which he let the Rebels to a 19-8 record. However he has a difficult re-stocking job following another offseason of portal defections for the Boilermakers. Who are some names to look out for in 2025?
