Well it was nice while it lasted.

Even with that poor protection, if Evans catches the snap at end of first half, then doesn’t have a shitty punt to start the 2nd half with shitty coverage for a return Td, it’s a 14-7 game. IU could then run the ball. IU D has played well. Only gave up 14 so far. Way to go punt team!!
 
Correction. It was GREAT. Now it's just really good.

The "dare-we-dream" may be over, but the new reality is still very very excellent.
Not even the most Crimson blind of us thought we'd be where we are. Playoffs or Bowl, it's a great run.

So what happens if UM beats OSU in Columbus?
Outside of that, I don’t think a 70 point win over PU helps at all. Maybe a bowl in a nice location (I’m waiting here in AZ!) would be fun especially since all the SEC teams will be in the CFB.

I just wish someone would literally kick the living shit out of Day for running up the score on that last possession there! Basically a **** you to all of us IU fans! If WW3 were started, I hope ground zero is the Shoe!
I’m pretty sure IU had more than one chance to run up the score this season but ran the clock out instead. It’s called “class” — something OSU does not possess.
 
Have to get better in the trenches. That’s what separates the good from the great teams.
Yes, and I bet Cig goes after a duel threat QB in the portal. Teams like Michigan and OSU knew the best way to stop Rourke and the IU offense was put enormous pressure on Rourke, since he’s strictly a drop back QB. If IU had a Antwaan Randle El type QB today it’d be a different game. All season long I thought that could be our undoing on offense, by having an immobile QB.

What a poor post. Rethink and try again.

If that was the case we would have brought in Tayven.

I’m just upset that we didn’t play to our full potential. You don’t get these opportunities often. Big picture, I can’t be disappointed with the season and I don’t think you can assume we won’t still make the CFP either.
They weren't good today. How do you see IU making the playoff?

Ole Miss already lost to Florida. That’s loss number 3 for them. Minnesota looking good against Penn St, which if happens, is loss number 2 for Franklin. Need KU to wallop CU, making the Big 12 a one bid league.

Penn State losing would just make four bids look bad, because committee had them above us before today. And might still even if they lose, since we lost.

Day is unemployed. 😉

You can't try to score, then go for 2 and and on side kick when the game is already over then complain the other team scored a TD after all that.
