I predicted 42-14. It was 47-10. My bad. I'm still cautious but now it has nothing to do with IU but the fact that, in my lifetime, I've never seen an IU football team like this. How do I act? I find myself feeling like a hiker in the woods and night has fallen, hoping you don't step off a cliff, that the other shoe doesn't drop, that you don't discover where the chickens have come to roost. You can't discount the remaining games (even if Purdue is sucking) but 12-0? Why the hell not. I may grow hair, win the lottery or take a beautiful Colombian bride. Seems all manner of miracles are possible.

I only saw one highlight from the game and it was N. Marsh's nice TD catch for MSU on Top 10 Plays of the Day. The only other mention was from Chris Fowler who briefly lumped IU into the "Sitting Pretty category" with the other B1G three..OSU, PSU and Oregon for the Playoffs. I guess the peeing match with Peacock keeps the highlight reel to a minimum. Gees!
I guess we just have to keep on decleating our opponents and finish unbeaten to finally get the Love this team deserves!!
Go Hoosiers!!

The top QB’s in the transfer portal for 2024.
There was 20 names mentioned and K Rourke was not one of them.
Yet Cig targeted him from the get go,the man knows what he wants and what it takes to succeed.

picked us as the team to be most disappointed Tuesday on the grounds that we are the second best team in the B1G but will be behind OSU and PSU.

• The three-straight victories in East Lansing mark the longest road winning streak since winning three straight from 1967-69.

• The 47 points scored are the most by IU in series history and the 37-point victory is the largest by an IU team over MSU. The previous high was 46 points scored (2001) and a 31-point margin (31-0; 1991).

• Indiana used 47 unanswered points after Michigan State took a 10-0 lead. The 47-unanswered points are believed to be a program record.

• Indiana starts a season 9-0 for the first time in program history and ties the most wins in a single season in program history (1945, 1967).

• A 6-0 start in Big Ten play marks the best six-game start to a conference slate and tie for most B1G wins in program history (1967, 1987, 2020).

• With his ninth win in 2024, head coach Curt Cignetti set the program record for wins by a first-year head coach, passing James M. Sheldon (8 wins; 1905).

• The nine-game winning streak is the longest streak in program history. The previous record was eight consecutive games in the 1945 and 1967 seasons.

• The double-digit win extends Indiana's program-record streak to nine-straight games winning by 10-plus points.

• WIth 47 points scored, Indiana now has a program-record seven games of 40-plus points in 2024.

• Michigan State's minus-36 rushing yards are the fewest allowed by an Indiana defense in program history. The previous mark was minus-32 yards against William & Mary in 2002.

• The rushing mark gives IU six games holding the opponent under 100-yards rushing, to tie the 1990 squad for the most such games in a single season since at least 1950.

• With Amare Ferrell's multi-pick game, it is the first time since 2020 that Indiana had a player with multiple interceptions in back-to-back games. That season, Tiawan Mullen (2; at Michigan State) and Jamar Johnson (2; at Ohio State)

• A third-quarter blocked punt gives Indiana multiple blocked punts in a season for the first time since it blocked four punts in 2021.

• The zero sacks allowed in back-to-back Big Ten games mark the first time since 2001 that IU hasn't surrendered a sack in consecutive conference games. IU didn't allow a sack in five-straight games from Sept. 29-Nov. 3, 2001.

James Evans | P | Sr.
• Pinned one punts inside the 10-yard line for his 23rd career punt downed inside the opponent's 10-yard line.

Zach Horton | TE | Sr.
• Caught a 17-yard touchdown reception in the first quarter from Kurtis Rourke.

Mikail Kamara | DL | R-Jr.
• Totaled 4.5 tackles for loss to tie for the third most in a single game in program history and the most since Damian Gregory vs. Michigan State in 1997.
• A career-high 2.5 sacks are tied for No. 6 on the IU single game charts and mark his third-career 2.0-sack game. The single-game total is the highest since Tegray Scales had 3.0 against Penn State in 2017.

Ty Son Lawton | RB | R-Sr.+
• Scored a touchdown on a 1-yard run in the second quarter to give Indiana a 14-10 lead.
• Has scored a touchdown in seven of the nine games.

Nicolas Radicic | K | R-Fr.
• Becomes the single-season record holder for extra points made with 57 on the year. He passed Griffin Oakes (53; 2015) and Mitch Ewald (56; 2013) in the game.

Kurtis Rourke | QB | R-Sr.
• Just the second Big Ten quarterback since 2000 to throw at least 3 touchdown passes in their first three conference road games (Justin Fields, Ohio State; 2020)
• With 263 yards of total offense, moved season total to 2,249 and into No. 20 on the single-season list. … • Moved his season total to 19 passing touchdowns to tie Richard Lagow (2016) and Petyon Ramsey (2018) for No. 6 on the single season charts.

D'Angelo Ponds | DB | So.
• Had his second career punt block and first as a Hoosier when he blocked Ryan Eckley's punt in the third quarter. On the play, Eckley illegally batted the ball to enforce a penalty in the endzone and bring up a safety that extended Indiana's lead to 23-10.

There was no way I was missing IU’s chance at history yesterday at MSU. Was an impressive turnout by IU fans in EL. Both teams and their fans knew we were there!!! The 4th quarter was nothing, but IU chants. Keep it rolling at home team and fans!!!

One of 5 unbeaten teams left.

2nd in offensive efficiency (Miami 1st).

3rd Overall efficiency (OSU 1st)

87% to make playoff.

7th Strength of Record.

FBS Schedules has us at 3:30 on CBS

but this IU football run is nothing like I've seen since as an IU fan. Even down 10-0, they were the tougher more aggressive team. On to Michigan... what a ride.

Class act. He didn't claim IU paid off the umpiring crew, or drugged the MSU water coolers, or whatever else you might read about. For the record, this is to pre-empt any thread about him trashing our team/coach via a fake report. We saw it with Rhule, we saw it with Fisch. I bet you we'll see it again mid week lol. Great win, go IU!

Tickets on SeatGeek against MI starting at $211 and going for over a grand. Unreal. Lock that man up

It's against my genetic make-up. But an OSU win would be best for IU, correct?

Gotta help IU. ISU ranked #11 and ahead of IU in the pols. We move up an LD important CFP selection committee implications.

Same ole same ole, talking with one of their fans today. Commented on Nebraska games for the two teams
First answer- playing o$u is everybody's super bowl.
Second answer- they were looking ahead to PSU.

Just can't admit they might not be as good as they thought they were.

Same guy told me that it was a pretty good showing against Oregon considering "they had to fly clear out to the west coast".

Always an excuse, never can admit they could be beaten by a better team.

Sure would like to kick their butts in a few weeks.
But next game up. Beat MSU.
GoHoosiers

there will only be 5 undefeated teams left in FBS football after tonight. PSU, ISU and Pitt(who is trailing 31-3 @ Halftime) will have suffered their first setback. If Louisville holds on against Clemson and if SC can pull one off against Texas A&M (tied 20-20 @Half) IU should make a move in the rankings.
Go Hoosiers!

Some of you seem pretty good at this. It’s really annoying to try to plan the weekend 8 days out with no idea.

Enjoy all this while it lasts! With IU being great and Hell freezing over, we all don’t know how much longer we have on this earth! If I pass away knowing the fact that IU would win the whole thing, I die a happy man! This type of season makes you really put things in perspective. I know it’s just a game, but it’s a fun emotional hobby for most people! We deserve a Championship level season after the decades of irrelevancy and depression! Live, laugh, and Love IU Football!

Life is Short, IU is Great, and so is God!

Go Hoosiers!!!

Breaking the November curse. Beat Michigan.

The Hoosiers are now 9-0 and tied for the lead in the Big Ten with Oregon as they annihilated Michigan State 47 to 10 with yet another dominating display on both sides of the ball.
