Last two plays of the game were the "Mayhem Moment" on ESPN



The delay pass to Hendershot was a hell of a call.

The QB sneak was a thing of beauty. Great job by PR waiting just long enough to get everyone set.

I well remember a couple of last minute plays that went against us in OOB games-----Keith Calvin fumbling right in front of the goalposts fighting for extra yards when all we needed was a FG to win the game; the missed FG in AT's SR year. Those last 2 plays in this game go a little way toward squaring matters.
 
I'm so happy we pulled it out. That said, I had a HORRIBLE feeling we were giving it away all game long. We tried our best to lose that game and that's what is so frustrating.

It was an ugly win is what it was. Charles Campbell may be our new kicker in the bowl game, we'll see.

Did you guys see the sneak play? Ahrod Lloyd was in an offset position. And he ran up behind Peyton as soon as the ball was snapped and grabbed him and pushed him in. It was a designed play. Unfortunately, it’s on film now so we’ll have to have a counter to it.

I was ranting and raving the whole game. Very difficult game to watch, especially the Purdue drive after we got ahead 28-10. I thought when that happened that we'd lose the game.

Definitely did see that.......what a great moment for that kid. That's something he'll never forget.

CTA said after the game that LJ was still our kicker.......I feel really bad for LJ, but at least we didn't lose the game. That would have been devastating for him..............

I had a flashback to the home game vs Minny a few years back when IU tried a backwards lateral at the one yard line to win the game. Minny recovered the miscue and won the nail biter.

IU showed a lot of growth on yesterday’s final drive especially considering one miscue would have lost the game and The Bucket.

What's strange is that we have such a high level of discipline/technique on O, and so low on D.

As examples....the 2nd & 3rd team TBs we used yesterday....no fumbles.....few fumbles on the year from the TBs....very few dropped passes the entire year.....also no ints yesterday, and not really close to having one. Also, getting lined up so quickly and getting the QS off in the OT.

I'd also say the STs have been above average for the entire year.

On D. 10 men on the field on a crucial play.....giving up 2 2 pt conversions on the same play.....seemingly no plan for Hopkins.....lapses in effort given....late hits, face mask penalties...leaving running lanes open.....not getting lined up in time.....the one area I think has been pretty good is tackling technique, but that was also somewhat lacking yesterday.

Was Minny. Was Tevin Coleman. Wasn't on the 1 though....

Aah, Keith Calvin. My first recollection of Indiana football tearing my heart out.

I dvr'd the game because I didn't want to spend the entire afternoon riding an emotional roller coaster and feeling like complete shit if we lost to those bastards. Had myself protected if we lost and ready to watch last night if we won.

I had mixed emotions when I found out the final score and the circumstances, but I got over the annoyance of not kicking their ass and settled in to watch the game last night. Had the dvr set to record an extra hour. The recording ended just as PUke kicked the fg to go ahead in the 2nd OT. UN-FREAKING-BELIEVABLE.

I had to watch "The Final Drive" on BTN to catch the final play but will have to hope for a replay of the game on Football in 60 or the entire telecast to see our full winning possession.

Serves me right for being too big a pussy to have the faith that we would win, I suppose.

Don't remember a Keith Calvin fumble, but I remember IU fumbling - twice - within FG range in '75. We lost 9-7.

I believe the RB who fumbled was seldom-used Modock White.

We'd run that play several time before that for a Ramsey TD. Once before in this game.

We did have an INT in the game yesterday.

Same happened to me.
Hoping to catch a replay.
