I feel like Sparty would score fewer with Rourke than without him. Just my opinion.

DC Haines really earns his buck$ with this game. Cignetti and Shanahan exercise ball control and field position in the 2nd half as TJ takes over for Rourke. Great tune up for Meatchicken.

This was my thought. With Tayven we had more 3-and-outs and less just long drives keeping our defense (their offense) on the field.

 

[Bowlmania]

Pretty good chance, I think, we'll see them both. Might be best to just go with a single prediction.

 

[SRIV94]

This game worries me. Gun to my head I would take the 7.5.

Crazy things happen in college football.

The offense with Rourke has been unstoppable regardless of opponent. If he plays I am going with:

IU 38
MSU 24

 

[Grateful Redbeard]

The thing that really stands out about MSU, is that absolutely nothing stands out about them. Their biggest win is either at Maryland or home to Iowa. Their biggest offensive output was 40 against Prairie View A&M. They don't do anything great, but they still have a lot of talent, and I like the coaching staff. That said, the elephant is obviously will Rourke start or not? If he starts I think we blow them out. If Tayven starts I think we still win, but by around 10-14 points. The key is getting off to a quick start, which we have done all season, but it was Ponds and the D that gave that to us last week. Tayven played well enough last week that I am confident about winning Saturday with him starting. Since this is a prediction thread, I'm going to predict that Rourke starts.

Hoosiers 49
Spartans 16

 

[daddyhoosier]

To quote Pat McAfee, HOOSIERS BY A MILLION!! 🤣

Lol, no that's not my actual prediction. 🤔

Sparty has had a pretty brutal schedule and now suddenly adding Indiana to the list is just piling on 😅. I think this game is probably pretty similar to the Washington game. 🐕 Michigan State will be hungry, it's a trophy game, and winning in East Lansing is not an easy task. All that said, I got:

⚪🔴 Indiana 35 🏆
🟢⚪ Michigan State 21 💩

Hoo-Hoo-Hoo HOOSIERS! 🚬

IU 31- MSU 27

 

[hometownfan]

I see this as a trap game that we pull ahead late in the 4th quarter. But we still cover. 27-17. I'll be there cheering our Hoosiers on to victory!

31-21. With Jackson. 38-17 with rourke.

 

[mobilehoosier]

38 Hoosiers w Rourke
24 Hoosiers w Jackson
MSU < 20

 

[nugget_release_lever]

Transitive Property Time = IU > Washington > Michigan > MSU. I've cashed out my IRAs and donated it all to the hoosiers for cig NIL.

Same score as Moible Hoosier predicted

 

[mushroomgod_1]

IU 34
MSU 17

Go Hoosiers!

They play it pretty close to the vest. Last 4 games v. OSU, Oregon, Iowa & Michigan, QB has only thrown it 23 times per game, hitting about 70% of his passes.....3 TDs total, 2 ints. That's much more efficient than in his first 4 games.

Against those 4 teams, they've avg 3.5 ypc while giving up 5.1 ypc.

I'll go with IU 24, MSU 17.

 

[IUNorth]

Nothing from their other games says they’ll be able to score enough points to stay with IU, Jackson or Rourke.

But for some reason I see them getting up in the the 20s or maybe even higher on us?

31-27 IU. We get enough, maybe force their QB in to an impotent turnover to two.

 

[BusdriverE]

42-14 IU
I see more plays designed for Tayvan since they had another week, with Rourke on sidelines but as the emergency qb

 

[LifelongIU77]

This game worries me. Gun to my head I would take the 7.5.

I have bad feeling also

Don't, it's 8 now, we're beating these guys like we should!

 

[Bucket Getter]

35-10. Easy cover but the under prevails. Onto the next sold out home game. 9-0 boys and girls!

 

[From the Balcony]

Averages say: 34-17 Indiana. Bowlmania nailed it from the start.

 

[76-1]

INDIANA 69
M$U______0

We beat them, their paid for Ref(s), the spread, and their goofy "special" uniforms while making a Statement...

Cig calls off the Bison at the 4 minute mark while ahead 62-0 but our backups put up another TD on the ground just from muscle memory...

We terrorize their backup Long Snapper into multiple errors on Special Teams and discombobulate their QB into tossing 3 picks while running for his life...

Their Ref(s) just give up and (almost) call it straight for the entire 4th quarter...; while Buck goes on a comedy riff (about the Refs) with Fisch as his straight man that becomes immortalized in INDIANA radio game calls history...

And..., Scott Dolson mandates that "I'm a Believer" by the Monkeys be played when we're up big at the end of the next Home game...(while substituting Their and Them for Her in the sing along words).😉😎

What scares me is MSU defense taking cheap shots at Rourke with the idea of taking him out!

True that! The OL will protect him well Saturday.

I'm on record for an IU blow out but this guy makes a valid point.
The game could turn soley on attitude. Is MSU down and mailing in the rest of the season or gonna dig deep.


Sleepers preview the Indiana vs. Michigan State game in college football Week 10
about the 7:00 mark.

 

[raar2]

OL an DL are worthy of a LOT of praise. I can't find the stat details but it seemed Coleman was killing us in the first half and was very impressive. The DL took over and ended it.
