IU had an incredible season. The baseline for this program has been jacked up to respectability. Now build on it and be a player in the B1G. There is no downside to the football program at this point in time. CCC has to recruit and work that portal with the big boys. My hat is off to IU's football team. One of 12 ain't bad for the first year.

You just said it all. Well done!

As much as Rourke was fun to watch, his lack of mobility and weaknesses on our OL are pretty much what stopped us against good defenses this year. USC torched NDs D a few weeks ago because of their OL and QB. Our D played well but on the field too much.
The weird thing was, I felt our OL did a decent job vs ND and our OC said the same in his post game. Wasn't nearly as ineffective and overrun as it was in the OSU game. It just didn't feel like we even attempted that many passes in the first half. I heard someone say the % of pass to run was similar to MSU, but if those were #s for the entire game, I'm not sure that's relevant. MSU we were comfortably ahead most of the game, so you'd assume a lot more runs in the 2nd half, whereas at ND we were forced to pass more late. And, I'm sure it was because they changed their scheme, but it was effective. Just felt like a weird run-based approach to start. Honestly I felt that Rourke had some sort of injury and they were protecting him.
