Mich on 4th down last gasp to keep the drive alive and score.

receiver falls and ..the UM players celebrate what they think is a first down.

Intellectually you are pretty sure that he was short of the first down but he sort of bounces, reaches and second effort crosses.

My reaction as a forty plus year IU FB fan:

"God dammit

You know they are going to give them that

You just know it!!

God dammit"

If you you reacted this way, you are truly a seasoned IU fan

You are my people.

For saying what all us “RINO’s” think

I've seen Michigan or parts of their games several times this year. I realize that Harbaugh left them in the lurch with the timing of his move to the NFL, and taking Coaches with Him. But.....
1. How can You be a defending National champion and not have a Quarterback on the team Who can throw accurately?
2. Their second String QB makes Tim Tebow look like Patrick Mahomes. He is one dimensional can only run the ball and never throws it. That is easy to defend. Might as well move Him to FB or tight end and get something out of him.

3, Their Clock Management at the end of the game makes Tom Allen look like a strategic Coaching genius. It appeared They didn't know they had Time Outs left to use on Defense, and They allowed 35 Seconds to come off the clock after We picked up 8 yards on 1st down after their last series, and I believe They had one timeout in their pocket at the end of the game. It was like They gave up on the game after turning the ball back to Us on downs. When They reached 4th down on their last series, They had all 3 Timeouts left. Instead of going for the 4th and long. They could have punted the ball back to Us and used the Time Outs on defense to get the ball back. As well as their Defense was playing and holding Us, that might have been a better option.

I admittedly didn’t pay much attention to any of this b/c I really had no idea it would be relevant. Now that it is can someone tell me how the CFP meshes with the bowl system and what plausible scenarios could IU be facing regarding travel destinations come January? TIA.

I would tell him if you want to come back next year, instead of giving you 500 k , we are going to invest the money and replace the 2, 13-inch TVs in the concourse at memorial stadium between sections 4 and 7 with several modern big screens. we are also going to quadruple the number of urinals from 7 to 28 , name it leals lane or something like that. spent more time in line to piss or buy a hot beer than I did watching the game yesterday

It looks like IU picked up a familiar big crystal ball pick. Hopefully it comes to fruition.

We are getting out-hustled by a less talented team.
Anyone want to second guess Mullins or McNeeley's decisions?

Their defense is better than Michigan - run and pass.

Our pass defense is as good/a tick better - but maybe due to schedule.

Our rush defense gives up less yards - due to schedule?

QB’s are very even.

Treyveyon Henderson averages 9 yards (!) on 1st down carries.

Best way to beat a good team is get ahead and stay ahead and make them press.

This will be a dogfight.

Delete please. Sorry for the duplicate thread

For years!!…

I'm going OSU -10 but I think that may be a bit optimistic. Mind you, I think it will be a close game--I'm just talking about how Vegas will see it.

No B1G+. Any help?

If someone already has a similar thread going, my apologies. Haven't had time to read everything that's been posted today.

I missed the Washington game and the ESPN Game Day that morning, but I can't imagine a more electric environment than what I experienced yesterday. There was literally a buzz around the stadium that you could hear walking up Dunn when we were still a distance from the stadium and the lots, and long before the game started.

After too many seasons of "nobody cares" football, this is so incredible to see.

The weather couldn't have been better. The sun broke through just before kick and it was tee-shirt weather the first half. The temperature dropped after sunset but it never got cold.

I have spectacular phone video of the white adidas towels against a sea of red, and have to think this played really well on TV. (I DVR'd the game but haven't had time to play it back yet).

There were plenty of UM fans scattered throughout the stadium but, at least from my vantage point, it looked like they were treated respectfully (mostly) and they, in turn, were fine.

This isn't a complaint (our fans were great throughout the game) but an observation, and my son noticed it as well. Despite the packed house and the amped-up crowd, it didn't seem exceptionally loud in the stadium. Before the game, I anticipated deafening crowd noise that might contribute to some false starts or otherwise disrupt Michigan's offense (which isn't great to begin with), but I didn't see any evidence of that. Maybe I'm simply off base here, or maybe it was a function of where we were sitting (or, more accurately, standing, as we were on our feet for most of the game). I'd like to hear what other people in attendance noticed about the noise level.

The game itself was too close for comfort, and Michigan must have made some nice halftime adjustments because they dominated the second half at the LOS and otherwise. I have to admit that when UM closed the gap to 17-15, I started thinking this is going to end 18-17. (How many times have we seen developments like that over the years?!). But this is the NEW Indiana, and we held on for the W.

This was the first time all season where the outcome was in doubt late in the game. Someone in our group said that maybe, in the long run, a nail-biter will help the team. As the competition gets tougher in two weeks and then in the post-season, a close game won't be a new experience for IU and they'll be better equipped to handle the pressure.

Go Hoosiers!

It doesn’t look like it.

To the least amount of yards all year. Think about that and that includes the number 1 team in the nation!

Curious to see what Tuesday brings!

Go Hoosiers!!

I had the power to fire Woodson in the locker room during halftime. I am so over this non coaching sh!t show.

Just one game I want to see Buckner on the floor during a game. I am going to walk up, introduce myself, thank him for his playing days and then tell him the he and Woodson need to get the hell out of their current positions and let Dolson run the show. After that I’ll probably be dismissed from the AH. 😂

I think most of us knew this was coming. Another 11-9 or 10-10 season. Wash rinse repeat.

Got cooked and fell over in his first two defensive trips today.

Got the ball handed to him on the next play. Dont let that fool you into thinking he did something good.

The Hoosiers take on the Panthers today inside of Simon Skjodt Assembly Hall. Join the discussion here!

Indiana had just completed a pass that Price caught inside the Michigan 5 yard line that resulted in a first and goal. The refs decided to bail UM out by throwing laundry and get Indiana for a tickey tack rub/pass interference call.

Not only was our WR knocked out of the game on this particular play but it absolutely robbed Indiana of a sure touchdown that would've made the score 21-3 heading into halftime. This call kept Michigan in the game and stole momentum.

rook basically spectating for 3 months, comes in and drills two high pressure fgs right down the middle.

well done

I saw one just now that dropped us to 9 playing at Penn State. Lol. Two teams above us lose, we win , and they DROP us? Another had us at 7 playing home against Ga. I know it’s just speculation. But still annoying. We’ll probably drop next week by not playing!
