I don't know how that's determined, but not counting safeties and pick-6s and kick returns, I'd say he's responsible for all of them.

He is a really good QB. I mean, I'm in the middle of the second quarter thinking "Rourke isn't having a really good game." And they flash the stats on the screen and he's completing 67% and has 130-is yards and I'm just chuckling at my observation...
He's been so strong that stats others would kill for have me thinking he's off his game a little.

The Hoosiers have already scored more TDs than last year’s team. Kudos to the o-line, too.
Our coaches have the whole team playing better than in the past. Receivers are blocking this year, the OL is better once again, RBs gaining more yards and pass blocking, QB completion rate higher along with yardage and TDs, TE is blocking to break RBs free. Add in a very good defense and we see a team that is much better.
I know I should know this, but I was another that didn’t pay much attention to transfers or anything else, until they started getting attention. I know Rourke is a senior but will he have another year of eligibility or no?
I’m pretty sure this is his final year of eligibility.
Arch might play his way to an appearance in NYC, yet this year.
Rourke will get votes as long as he keeps winning.
Last night on espn they listed the top eight and how they performed. Was disappointed to see he wasn’t one of them.
Too many still in denial.
Said exactly the same thing at exactly that point in the game. He did appear a little off, but he’s still amazing. Wish he had another year or two.
This is for sure his final year. He came to IU so he could make real money next year. Plan is perfect so far.

I think the wind affected his throws early in the game which made him appear to be off. As the game went on he got it down and handled the wind much better.
You know other schools play an easy team in their schedules.
And we pulled Rourke in the Western Illinois game. He only threw 17 passes (two TDs). He didn’t pad his stats.
I'd suggest you a look around the country at who other top 40 teams scheduled early before you make a snide remark like that...
Just around the Big Ten those perineal powerhouses such as Weber St. Prairie View A&M, Indiana State, and Northern Iowa,etc...; litter the schedules...
In the SEC, teams like Furman, Chattanooga, Murray State, UAPB (who the h... is that???), Eastern Kentucky, Samford and McNeese pop up on their out of conference scheduling landscape...
We've just finally decided to schedule smart like what appears to be over half of the rest of our near peers in the country... I'd say that's a good thing considering the overall results...

I suspect this will be Cignetti’s best season while at IU. Next year will have a hard act to follow with new QB and assistant coach(es). Enjoy each passing moment of the present right now, as we speak.
Why would next year be harder than what he took over last year? Last year he needed and QB and half the team was in the portal (a team that had been very poor for three years). Next year he has the beginnings of a foundation to build from.
It's college FB. Players come and go. Sometimes assistants do too. It's not a big deal.
I agree about the players, but somewhat disagree about the assistants...that most certainly CAN be a big deal. Remember when we actually had Alabama's staff?
Not only that but the SEC puts cupcakes in the middle of the season. Alabama plays Marist. Georgia plays UMass, Tennessee plays utep. The SEC is a mess….
I’m not worried about next year. Another favorable schedule and he’s had great QB play every year. After rourke puts his numbers up they will have QBs lining up.
Hopefully so, but I remember after our first and only ever Rose Bowl game we all said, “Just wait until the B.I.G. 3 are seniors!” (Butcher, Isenbarger, Gonso) Our W-L record got progressively worse each successive season. Planetary alignment and stars that smile are factors out of our control.
Well, you didn’t tell us that we were supposed to do legwork to provide ourselves perspective. That’s a great hindrance to blindly pissing and moaning, so you just cut that out right now!
