Offseason throwback game of the week: OSU at IU, 1990...

[RBB89]

Hoosiers were 4-0 and ranked 22nd. Game ended in a 27-27 tie.

A fun watch, with Green, Dunbar, and Turner on offense. This is the full game, with commercials, so it’s about 3 1/2 hours. Some of the commercials are hilarious, and the halftime show features a younger, yet still old, Lee Corso...

Nice find. Enjoyed seeing those guys again.

Thanks for sharing. I wish there were full games from the ARE era, but sadly there are none that I can find.

A hold in the interior of the line with just over a minute left overturned a Dunbar score from 6 yards out.
Amazing to see the transformation in the passing game over the course of 28 years of college football. Some, of those play calls would draw outrage today.

 

[76-1]

Thought it a garbage call then and always will... The same Big Ten refs didn't call the holds where our opponent had handfuls of our jersey with their arms outstretched (in other games [Iowa stands out]). Delanys minions have screwed us over for decades...

For this week: 1991 Bucket victory over Purdue (tv commentary starts a few minutes in)...

Thanks for sharing these video links. Watching these is on my "to-do" list this weekend, especially given the continuing frigid weather in central Indiana. Hopefully I will have the discipline to get my taxes completed before I get sucked into watching.

Turner was a beast......I remember seeing him in the North-South HS game that year. You could tell he would be a star. For a school with such a difficult football history we have had more than our share of big-time WRs.

It was fate. BYU students were never going to properly celebrate a bowl victory, but those of us at IU at the time knew exactly what to do. The biggest winner of that game was the alcoholic beverage industry.
