I believe that if our O-line holds up, we win this game. We have more good receivers than they can cover. Run the ball just enough to unleash the Mendosa. Not worried at all about our defense, they have been there all year. Watching Oregon against Texas Tech I thought they were sloppy at times and made mistakes with the ball. They do that against us and we'll make them pay.

I don't think the first game will have much bearing on this one. Both teams have played a lot of football since then. Whoever executes their game plan the best wins. Cig will have them ready.

I want it all, but whatever happens today, this has been a glorious season and I expect IU football to be relevant for years to come.

OSU arrogance about to bite them in the butt.

Fellow old timer here and I completely understand. However, there's A 50/50 chance I'll see midnight tonight but probably won't remember it.

Cigs - 27 Southern Boys - 10

Honestly, first game I have watched start to finish this season. We aren't going to out talent many teams in the B1G so we will have to win on effort. We'll find out how bad this team wants it. I don't know what to make of CDD. He might be the guy or he might end up just another middle of the pack coaches grinding out a career. The real test will be to see what he puts on the court next year.

The CFB needs to be the best teams regardless of who they are. Being inclusive doesn't make it better. Tulane and JMU getting badly beaten doesn't do anything for those programs. In the current climate, they simply don't belong. Fill the field with the best teams available.

After the OSU game, I fear no one. We have a complete team and they will compete with anyone until the very end.

Not sure either of these teams finish in the top half of the B1G.

Watching this game makes me realize how really good we are.

Ain't gonna be no shootout against our defense.

Alabama going to get their coach fired. I know it's still early but the Tide looks Wisconsin good. Oklahoma going to be a tough game.

I don't really have a dog in the fight but I I know that Glass has been a prominent part of the group of people who made Indianapolis what it is today in the sports world. Like I said, Cignetti may be the best coach in college football but even he could not have turned this around so quickly without the players. And a significant number of them came from the portal. I'll go one step farther and say that without Mendosa, we would be a three loss team and looking at a lesser bowl game. Coaching matters, but so do players.

Never in my lifetime did I think college basketball would become unrecognizable. The turnover in players has turned IU into just another team to me. When I watch games, I still only know who two or three players are. The game I loved will never be again. I'm an old guy so that's probably OK.
