Go Georgia

5 star lineman and 5star skill guys with backups equal yo your #1 's .
Hard hill to climb....
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.
 
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.

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.
 
Anybody but ND
Not this game for me. After all the bellyaching and whining by the SEC, I hope ND pounds UGA.

I actually have no problem with them adjusting how they select the teams and include SOS. But, we were in fairly based on how selection for the playoffs and bowl games has always been done, so if you don't like it, change it. But, we played both of last years NC game participants, plus UCLA, NB, MD and MSU along with OSU. Many years I would guess that would be a top 30-40 schedule. Not IUs fault they were all worse than expected (didn't UM start off top 10?). I do think it was a mistake to get out of the Lville game and think we should have one notable pre-con game in our mix.... like ND starting in what, 2030 or something?

Screw ND and their home game.
The fighting cupcakes can blow me. Overrated every year and I have hated them my whole life. I hope they get ass blasted. We played a tougher schedule than them and didn’t lose to UNI. They should have had to come to our house!

The O-Line made good progress and improvement from the Michigan game (3 sacks in a row start the 2nd half) to OSU to ND. Just like every other news event, a narrative gets created and rest of the pack barks the same message. Lazy.

For game breakdowns, I like this guy The Film Guy Network - IU/ND
This, specific proof detailed criticism I can accept. But the "they're not good enough", I hate.
