Cignetti built a ten win roster in three weeks. I think he can find some good players.
GAME THREAD: IU 15 @ OSU 38. FINAL.

It’s not kinda like that. This is year one, this staff had one portal to adjust the roster.
Special teams and play calling - i.e. no pass protection - very disappointing.
Still, proud of the guys. We can hang with the elite without big mistakes.
10-1 great season so far.

Go 10-0 then lose a road game against one of the top 2 or 3 teams in the country and people turn on you lolol, so dumb.
Wish we could have stayed more patient with the run game. For my eyes our LOS push was pretty good all game.
Those outside blitzes were easy to spot. Could have designed an audible for Rourke to pull it and run up the middle for a few yards and live to make it on another down.

Yep. It’s a setback, but every team on its way up has them.
Amen. However, before the game started, we knew this place was going to turn into a shitfest once IU fell behind.
IU has one loss on the road to the best team in college football. This isn’t the end of the world.
Stock Down - - Rourke
Stock Up - - Howard
Man, across the board, I can't believe how much our passing game --QB, receivers, O-Line, and probably staff-- all tanked today.
This proves the fools gold that comes with playing a weak schedule. Other than backing out of Louisville, SOS is not IU's fault, but it is still true that we beat no one of consequence.

We did beat up on who we played.
Bad day. But it was at Ohio State. Well learn. Need some luck with the playoff…
Stop this nonsense. They are number 2 for a reason. We played piss poor. They had something to do with that. Ole Miss was vying to take our CFP spot. They just lost to 5-5 Florida. That’s the team they were pushing to replace IU in the CFP. They have 3 losses. They out. Now, you are a basketball only guy talking shit. Typical. Reality is you should worry about Woody’s contract, not Cig’s. Dumbass.
Far better season than I ever imagined could happen. A bit disappointed today, but still very upbeat about the program.
Basketball only people with an agenda, not real supporters of the football program. They hate anything that may distract from Woody ball.
The IU Offensive staff never figured out the stunts and blitz defense today. Seems as if the QB lost a lot of yardage not pitching it out of bounds when blitzed. The extra .3 quickness advantage of 4/5* athletes was pretty dramatic. Losing Drew was part of the problem x 3 games.
Can Michigan beat the Bucks? Only result that puts IU in the B18
Championship game.
They can’t even beat us and you’re expecting them to beat OSU?
OSU wins by at least five scores.

We were tough to beat by MICH because Moore isn’t Harbaugh and their QB isn’t great. They won’t matchup well with OSU.
We could've run the ball. Michigan's best option... And pressure the QB.
I choose to hold out hope however slim.
But you're correct. This is OSU payback time to Michigan most likely.

It might depend on how many rabbits were under the hat to begin with. I hope you’re right and rabbits have nothing to do with it whatsoever.
F that. I hope they lose to Army
We’ll have one last chance to beat a team of consequence in a bowl game. We have not won a bowl game since 1991. It will be very important that this team, for the sake of its fandom’s psyche, to win the game.
Listened to OSUs pressers. They said the same as Cig about us going to the silent count. Cig said it made it tough to communicate and hurt picking up blitzes.
The OSU QB said we don't realize how much tougher it gets when you have to do that. Day said the same thing. Both thanked the crowd.

I’m still not convinced we’re in. At least with a bowl game we have a chance to end our great season on a high note, with a victory.
Nah, it’s 100% me, for better or worse taken for what it’s worth. I make no apologies, these thoughts of mine stupid they may be.

Yes, and the “Spoilermaker’s” task just got a little easier thanks to us looking ahead, past them as if victory is a given. Beware of their Devin “Crazy Legs” Mockobee. He’s a shifty cat, tough to bring down. It’s why I hate the guy.
I hope we get in the CFP. But I'm very happy for either result. If we beat Purdue and are 11 and gosh darn 1 ! Nice!
The extra game is a nice bonus. I can see the idea of a nice bowl, as long as it's against a team that wants to be there too. Won't like it as much if it's a power who feels it's beneath them, and their fans and players don't show out. That's one reason, along with prestige, I prefer the CFP .

The possibility of a mental letdown after such a big game, garnished with anticipation of a playoff position, exists with fans AND players. I’ve been witnessing Bucket games since the early 60’s and have learned that strange things can happen in this rivalry game. Plus, freezing temperature potentially makes for unusual circumstances.
