LSU was the only team ranked above us (that I'm aware of) that lost (at #8) but that may allow us to move up at least one slot to #12...,( hopefully even more)...

“Washington had 189 total yards of offense and crossed into IU territory four times in the first half, but only came away with one touchdown.”

… The two Pond’s picks kept UW out of the end zone in the first half.
… UW was mostly stifled in the 2nd half.
… TJ scored his TD, after the defense got a 3 & Out.

I can’t believe Texas AM went up from 14 to 7.

I can’t believe Texas AM went up from 14 to 7.

LSU was punished by dropping 8 spots, and is now lower than IU.

I don’t think there were many losses above us. And we beat, at home, a 4-4 team. My guess is we go up no higher than 11 and could stay at 13.

An MSU win would put us up, my guess only. But at 9-0 and playing big ten teams maybe we would be top ten. Ok for us to predict. I bet players and coaches are focused only on MSU and how to beat them.

I can’t believe Texas AM went up from 14 to 7.

Only loss is to ND, so they are atop the SEC at 5-0. Plus, that loss came in the first game of the season.

The 2nd half rushing success reminded me of the 1976 season v. Wisconsin

IU had some long drives in the 2nd half

Tim Wilber took the lead (15-14) by picking up the PAT snap, and rolling left to the pylon.

Later Scott Arnett lead a 16-play drive that took 10 minutes off the 4th quarter clock.
Wisc. didn’t have it in them to even get to a FG attempt, after IU failed to convert on 4th down inside the red zone.

This year’s effort was better as TJ scored on a read option to put the game out of reach.
