Good thing that we had the advantage of a bye week.

Ohio State was lucky they caught us looking ahead to the Bucket Game.

So Ohio State looks like a team that could win the whole thing. Have to give them credit, sometimes when things go south the other team has something to do with it. Even without the self-inflicted wounds I think the bucknuts win this game.
I get the disappointment. I'm disappointed. It's always hard when opportunities slip away because it's never a guaranteed that you'll get another opportunity. Plus it's annoying because all the sports drones will have their 'Indiana is overrated, they haven't beaten anybody' answer queued up.
But I think we need to have some perspective here. This is one of the best 2 or 3 teams in Indiana history. They will have at least 11 wins. Even if they get snubbed by the CFB Playoff they'll still be in a very good Bowl and have a chance to win their first Bowl Game since 1991. And they have built a good foundation upon which they can build. The idea that the loss today means it's the same old Indiana after all is pretty silly.

Put Tayven in. No point in risking injury to Rourke.

Let’s hope Ole Miss loses to Florida.

I guess we drop like BYU did after they lost to Kansas. Maybe end up around 11-12.

Maybe but that was a 3-6 team they lost to. We really needed to keep this competitive though.

Even with that poor protection, if Evans catches the snap at end of first half, then doesn’t have a shitty punt to start the 2nd half with shitty coverage for a return Td, it’s a 14-7 game. IU could then run the ball. IU D has played well. Only gave up 14 so far. Way to go punt team!!

Small lineup is the key for Purdue - who they started today is what will either work or will fail going forward - TKR, Heide, Colvin, Smith and Loyer. Son is home and we are watching football game - not great but they should still make the playoff.

He's a great coach but not a miracle worker. Deserves to be well paid and our coach as long as he wants. We won't do better. This season was the perfect storm of a garbage schedule combined with a portal haul that included many of his JMU players. He probably coaches another 7 seasons and I'd expect 7-5 or so to be the norm.

I hate when these games are on fox win or lose. The announcers are extremely biased - just awful. The world famous Ohio State? How many times are they going to say that?

For the rest of this season IU is gonna see more blitzes than Western Europe did in WWII, and passes into the zone gaps.
