We got a little tight in 2nd half at home against a scrappy but less talented team.
I bet we play looser in Columbus.
Nothing to lose now. This was a must win.
It really was just a bad second half. Michigan has more talent than IU and it showed.
OSU had a closer call against Nebraska
Michigan isn’t less talented. The defense decided to play to their talent level in the 2nd half.
I think we are a better team, but that they are actually more talented.
Couple of years Cig will have a team full of beasts too, without thin spots. Right now he has a lot of beasts and less depth, but they play well anyway.
Our QB had an off day. But he's way more talented than anybody they have. So we aren't behind them on talent. Athletes maybe, not talent.
Hell yeah, nice win.

We just beat Michigan State and Michigan back to back. What’s not to like about that? We played sh*tty by previous standards established this season and still beat Michigan. Let that soak into the record book for posterity to ponder. Old timers appreciate this accomplishment.
Kind of like the old Knight teams. On paper they were not as talented but as a team they beat ya.
Just a glance at their last 3-4 recruiting classes shows nothing but 4 star and 3 star players. I don’t know how many transferred in or out, but jeez. I don’t recall any IU classes looking like that. I’m not saying we don’t have some truly gifted players, but we also have a goddamn good coach.
Odd, but they may get more “respect” for this one than any others this season because of the brand and that they toughed it out.
Nah, we didn’t cover the spread. They’ll drop us 7 spots cuz we’re IU and not supposed to be ranked that high anyway.
Should be at least sixth, with Georgia losing (now two losses) and Miami losing its first.
Come on, you usually post more reasonably than this. That’s not happening this week.
Actually, MIA should fall out of the top-12. SMU should take their spot, and likely will be just barely in, while everyone else moves up at least one spot.
It’ll be close. It’s not like their two losses are to WASH and UCLA, and they do have two better wins in TEX and CLEM (and neither of those were at home).
Yeah, UGA would probably have an edge here. MIA would not.
I don’t think they should but don’t underestimate how much love there is for Bama.
UM is definitely a talented team, but their coach is in over his head. He looks lost. Hell, he pulled a Tom Allen-esque game management waiting 28 seconds to use a time out there on our last possession. Even the commentators were like, “Have they conceded???” I think he thought he was just going to win games because they are Michigan.
Our rankings won’t drop … too many other big losses this week … FPI took a small hit … Defense did what was needed and stopped MI in the 2nd half. There were no long MI rushes for TDs. The 3rd Q int and shank on a punt hurt a lot.
Hmmm—then again a bunch of ESPN scribes are projecting MIA keeping its ACC lead (instead of SMU taking the autobid), while many of them are also dumping UGA out of the top-12.
This will be interesting.
Most 2025 NFL mock drafts have them with no less than 3 first round picks and a couple of more 2nd rounders.
Where have we heard this before? More talent but a loss?
It comes down to coaching.
Paging Mike Woodson……
A couple Sarratt drops kept this from being a 2 score win. And then there was the supposed pass interference and that hit that knocked Price out. I think Ponds got ejected in the UCLA game for targeting on a nearly similar play.
