Still couldn’t compete with Ohio state. Bc Indiana does not beat Ohio state. Just like ND.
IU vs ND
- Thread starter YOTHN
- Start date
There won’t be many IU fans there. They only get a very small allotment. Most of which goes to players families.
Secondary market dummy.
let's talk common opponents
ND 66 Purdue 7
Indiana 66 Purdue 0
so we should be good, right?
Playing & beating ND is a great way to continue as the "emerging super-power" in football.
Plenty of people will pay that. It’s a big game.
I was surprised to see they gave up 35 to USC. That’s encouraging for our offense. Their offense is geared towards the run and Leonard is a good running QB, but our D is also very good against the run. Just need to make their QB beat us with the pass and force him into mistakes. He’s a decent thrower, but he’s not going to beat you through the air, like Rourke can do.
There will be a decent number of IU fans there for a road game.
Bayern is the same guy that has been on these boards for years saying soccer was going to overtake American football as the country’s favorite sport. He’s not tuned in very well to American sports. He’s Euro-centric and doesn’t get season tickets at IU. Cut him some slack.
Plenty of IU fans too. Just because you can't afford to pay it does not mean others won't.
The interesting situation is that the ND students will be on Xmas break and that may open up an opportunity for tickets that IU fans can get. This is all new territory, so nobody knows how this will play out.
I'm just glad the committee somewhat punished ND for losing to N IL. I was worried they were going to get the 5 seed. The team I hate most is ND so IU better win this one. Stop the run, which is our strength and I think we have a good chance to win.
nope our admin changed everything up like student schedules so students can be on campus for game in case we hosted a playoff game. congrats on making it hoosiers but game will be tougher than some of you think as our irish have a top ten rated defense overall and was top 4 rated scoring defense before USC game and we will have the best rushing attack you have faced all year as Price and Love are both homerun hitters and take to the house from anywhere, key is for IU to force QB Riley to 30 or more attempts because he isn't beating anybody good on his own without a good running because even though better than earlier in season he still way over throws or under throws WRs and the TEs way too much
IU has the #1 rush defense in the nation. #6 scoring defense. #2 scoring offense. This is the best team Notre Dame has played this year.
It's going to be a good game.
End zone seats on Stub Hub $1,000-$1600. Sidelines $2500+
We’re on SeatGeek looking as I write. Fing brutal!! They’ll come down but who knows how much and when
You do understand the secondary market right? I already know several people who got their tickets today. We will have a decent amount of fans there.
Man, I’m not sure. I still think they have room to go up. It’s a game most people with tix are gonna make absent a price too good to pass up.
Our allotment is 2500. I’d bet any amount of money you’d like that we will have well over 5,000 people there. Maybe you forget how many people were at UCLA for example. People were planning on spending decent money to go to a bowl game. Now we save on airfare and hotels. But I think you also forget we have plenty of fans that have plenty of money and will consider this what it is….opportunity of a lifetime.
Their break probably starts that Friday, doesn’t it? I know IU does. So many will stay and leave Saturday.
Oh I don’t think any of us think it’s going to be an easy game. That’s crazy.
They have to stop ND running game. J Love is a beast.
ND needed TWO interceptions ran back for TDs to win that game. 35 to UCS with a QB that had started what his 3rd game, maybe 2nd game?
Front page here on theHoosier.com, thanks guys. Youtube link, but I got there from the front page here. Cigs presser today.
I enjoyed him mentioning Tino in his talk about staff. Starts at 11:30 min, Tino at 12:00 . Says he'll miss having him around, says he's good, happy for him, but we won't miss a beat.

I have never seen you be positive in many years….for once think we can
I would have preferred to play OSU, PSU or Texas. Reasons being.......OSU is in disarray, PSU has trouble winning big games, and Texas is overrated (their best 2 victories being A&M and Vandy. The GA D has throttled them twice). I think it was the worst draw we could have gotten (although if Beck is really going to be out at QB it would be a huge deal).
I think ND is solid as hell. Big, strong, fast and physical.
2nd is the nation in scoring D, top 3 in the nation in most pass D stats......
Certainly it is strength v. strength in so far as their run game goes. They average 6.3 ypc (v. 4.5 for IU). To give some perspective, OSU averaged 5.0 ypc, PSU 5.3 ypc this season. We only give up 2.5 ypc compared to their D giving up 3.8. Their D against the run statistically isn't as good as osu (2.8) OR psu (3.2).
Their secondary is very good, and like us they get lots of sacks. I'm concerned about our OL v. their DL.....think 2nd halves of OSU & Michigan. I'm concerned about our O being able to sustain drives.....leaving the D on the field too long. I expect them to crowd the line, and try to force us into 3rd and longs.
Given their relative weakness against the run v. the pass. we may be forced to run the ball more than we would like. On D, the DBs may be on an island as we focus on their rush game.
