Yes the IU collapse at the end was stunning and was the first time in 472 college games this year in which a team leading by thirteen or more points with five minutes or less left lost the game. Yikes, it could only happen to the Hoosiers. But here is the thing. Those of us who were there are very proud of this team. They played without their captain Stepaniac, without their starting running back, Stevie Scott, without their starting wide receiver Donovan Hale, without Michael Penix who was the starting quarterback until injuries got him (for those who do not know he completed twenty passes in a row this season against Michigan State) and often without tight end Hendershot who came out three or four times because of injuries. Still led by Peyton Ramsey our offense came alive and scored some points. The big surprise was how well our defense played. They played their best game of the year by far. So with only three or four seniors who played yesterday, next year looks very bright. True there were some horrid coaching mistakes yesterday. How could we not be ready for an onside kick for example but I choose to view the glass as half full and am very proud of the overall direction of the Hoosier football team. Nice effort yesterday!!!!!
