The Unbelievable Strategy Behind Indiana’s Stunning College Football Resurrection

Shanahan loves to utilize pre-snap motion to garble the defense, and Rourke prefers to throw in large bills: Indiana’s average target depth is 10.2 yards downfield, second deepest in the Big Ten. 

Rourke isn’t a running quarterback, and Shanahan has not asked the Ohio transfer to become one. Instead, he’s leaned into Rourke’s ability to drive the ball with his arm. As a matter of throwing good passes well down the field, there’s been no QB in the country on Rourke’s level this season:

The transfer portal has helped in other areas too. Most notable is Rourke’s group of targets. No. 1 receiver Elijah Sarratt and tight end Zach Horton came with Cignetti and Shanahan from JMU. Supporting wideout Myles Price came from Texas Tech, and another, Miles Cross, came from Ohio with Rourke.
