This loss hurts like hell, but every single W during the regular season was more significant than Thursday's L. The eight wins are what got us to Jacksonville and a respected bowl against a quality P5 opponent. 62,000 people attended (a ten year Gator Bowl high) and almost four and a half million watched on TV. This was great exposure for IU in a highly competitive, entertaining game. Lots to look forward to in 2020, particularly with the return of Michael and Stevie. Go IU.
