GAME THREAD: UM 15 @ IU 20. FINAL.

[CaptainZigZag]

Looking like it. Only thing that doesn’t make sense is Michigan isn’t all the at good.

Michigan is terrible

 

[Radio Zero]

ONE PLAY.

 

[daddyhoosier]

Nah he's well-short meat-chicken. Good story though.

 

[812jmac]

Wow. That was Allen-esque game management there to wait THAT long to call timeout...

 

[Radio Zero]

Excellent fake.

 

[Hoosiers Rising]

Well that was our worst game of the year. Bye coming at a good time.

 

[Tammany Hall]

At least we won and have a chance to fix things.

 

[IUNorth]

How does beating Michigan not feel good. That’s how far we’ve come.

 

[812jmac]

We've won a lot of pretty games, glad we can win ugly too!

10 and 0 folks!

 

[daddyhoosier]

This is one of those where I couldn't care less about stats or style points, we were tested and we got out with the Dub. 10-0. Bye Week! Let's goooo!!

I feel great! I am very proud of the Hoosiers.

 

[Tammany Hall]

Bingo. We got in trouble and stayed alive. — that is a positive. Wake up call, bye, and we’ll see.

 

[Victorbmyboy]

Michigan did all they could do. Love these guys.

 

[76-1]

If you can play your worst Offensive game of the year and still get the W against Michigan you're doing okay...

10 - 0

 

[Kelly_32]

That was stressful AF.

SHOUTOUT TO OUR DEFENSE!!!

 

[daddyhoosier]

Gary Danielson is absolutely correct, it is unrealistic to expect a team to steamroll through their entire schedule. This game is actually important to the development of this football team if they respond to it in the right way.

Also, 'Michigan is terrible' is a terrible take. It's lazy and reactionary.

Anyway, imo regardless of what happens in two weeks IU has a great shot at the CFB Playoff. We can talk about this now. We can talk about the Ohio State game too because we are 1-0 against meatchicken.

 

[BA47591]

I had them at 8-4 before the season began. There was no scenario that I could envision them 11-1. Today we may have seen the difference between 5☆ and 3☆ size and athleticism. OSU will be even more of the same and on the road. The bye week couldn't be more timely.

 

[812jmac]

Michigan is better than their record suggests. I think it’s QB play and coaching that’s holding them back.

 

[OpenWheels]

Michigan had found their toughness recently. We all knew they'd be ready.

In addition to them causing a lot of it, we also shot ourselves in the foot. Left points out there in the first half. Rourke had a terrible second half, and Sarrat had a bad half.

And Indiana still won! Whoo!

Illinois curbstomped them
Calling them any other than terrible, is shallow and pedantic.

 

[OpenWheels]

That's ridiculous.

 

[Champ_Kind_whammy]

10 - 0

First
time
ever
Deserves more than 3 pages.

 

[Tammany Hall]

That's ridiculous.

Our offense was way off and we put our D in tough spots, but we held them to 206 yards and 15 pts. Not bad.

What is shallow is this idea that if you aren't in the top 10 you are terrible. A lot of fans seem to think this way and it is a function of several things that I won't get into because I don't want to be pedantic lol. Michigan would beat half the teams in the country (plus or minus 10 percent we'll say) - they are average not terrible.

 

[Middawg]

That D was special today as the offense sputtered.

Wish we would have gotten off the field a few more times on 3rd down, which is the only stain on their performance.

Heal up fellas.

Illinois won 21-7 and had 260 total yards. That was not a curb stomping

Yep, and gave up 322 yards.

Michigan had a bunch of turnovers.

Their defense is still very good. The interior DL is probably the best in the country.

They don’t have the depth of last year and their secondary has lost key guys but othe than Texas, they’ve given UM a chance in every game.

 

[Courtsensetwo]

Nope. This is their worst team in years

Why are you here?

I am not sure how you got to 8-4 given a new coach and system for a bad team. I had them at 4 wins.

Ok mediocre then.
The OOC schedule IU insists on playing is terrible and does them no favors.

This ☝️

Why are you here?

So I can post about Indiana-B1G football. How about you? Why are you here?

No you are most certainly not.

@rrdd2021 some funny shit right here.
