The new lights were really nice. It was bright but little glare. The lighting was also very even and consistent. No dark spots like with the old lights.
Just can’t please some people

Wouldn’t have known a thing if it had not been mentioned prior to the game.
I feel like this is one of the more impressive Tom Allen wins. Illinois is a decent to good team that will certainly win their fair share of games in that sorry west division. They have a potent rushing attack and frankly, a solid looking defense.
This W does SOOO much for the team's morale, focus, confidence, future successes, etc. If they can clean up the oline during these next two weeks, it's reasonable to expect a 6 win season, IMO.
Indiana should be in quite a few close games with the Tom Allen led defense which should give the All Big Ten kicker chances to win games in the closing seconds!

Didn't notice any difference. The flagpole is even more annoying this year, though.
This ^^^ exactly.
It seems others thought it helped, so I'm glad it did.
I'm on the East side 45yd line row 21 - no difference.
I don’t see that based on both our talent level and schedule, but I can see how others might take a different view. Been an IU fan for decades and I tend to rely on history as a guide, but we’ll see.
Need to win 5 of the remaining 11 games. From what I've seen a week into the season, Idaho, Western Kentucky, Nebraska, Maryland, Rutgers, Michigan State, and Purdue are all winnable. Penn State didn't exactly set the world on fire either.
From what I’ve seen a week into the season, we’d be favored to win three of those games. We’ll see how it goes.
Illinois - W
After watching Illinois game, and other games of opponents, seeing 32 yards rushing, 300+ passing, goal line stand, best OL out for season, and a 2-minute drill must-score-TD game-winning drive, predictions:
Idaho - W
WKU - W
at Cincy - possible W, probable L
at Nebraska - possible W, more likely L
Michigan - L
Maryland - possible W, possible L
at Rutgers - possible W, possible L, still best (only?) chance for a road win
Penn State - L
at Ohio State - L
at MSU - probable L, possible W
Purdue - probable POTFB
So 3 wins, 3 losses, 6 can go either way, and without a run game, much less a 4th quarter run game, the maybes are trending L
Gotta get better on the run FAST
Our secondary are tiny little people - need more “swarm” cause runners with a load on, and big WR’s, are gonna be hard to tackle

Michigan State just had a starting LB ruled out for the remainder of the year (87 tackles last year) and starting S (94 tackles last year) will miss significant time, both due to injuries. Wasn't all that impressed with MSU last year and their offense looked pretty anemic through 3 quarters against Western. Tough to win in East Lansing but IU always seems to play MSU well.
