Reason for optimism

[CrazyHands]

I, like most everyone else, am looking for reasons to be optimistic for tomorrow's game. Most of us agree that coaching can make a difference, with us having what most likely is National Coach of the Year, Cignetti > Day. Go Hoosiers!

While OSU is still very good, they do have some notable issues (OL even before the recent injury and secondary) which might create areas IU is able to exploit.

IU had a week off to rest/prep that OSU did not have.

IU comes in with some historical momentum and is playing with house money at this point which hopefully has the team playing loose and with confidence.
