So the investigation into Jordan McNair's death found Maryland at fault...I don't know how they can justify keeping Durkin employed at this point. Sent from my Pixel using Tapatalk

IU- 27 MSU-23

" I got a Bachelor’s Degree in Mathematics with an emphasis in Statistics. I chose this major because I love identifying patterns. I decided to create this website to merge my love of sports with my love of math" ....I guess the numbers don't lie, the Hoosiers are the 3rd. best team in the country! We'll see you in January Bama!

In terms of advanced statistics for those of us that enjoy looking at them: IU S&P+ Rank: 23 IU Off. S&P+ Rank: 52 IU Def. S&P+ Rank: 16 IU Special Teams S&P+ Rank: 96 MSU S&P+ Rank: 20 MSU Off. S&P+ Rank: 34 MSU Def. S&P+ Rank: 28 MSU Special Teams S&P+ Rank: 29 Bill Connelly gives us a 53% chance of winning this game. ESPN's Football Power Index still ranks MSU as the 13th. best team in the country and therefore only give us 21% chance of winning. I'm trying to keep my expectations in check as I had us losing this game before the season started; but with the way we've been playing and the improvement we've seen week after week, its hard not to get excited....this is just a huge opportunity for this team!

Let's hope Mizzou takes care of Purdue. I usually root for the conference but I dislike Purdue too much... Sent from my Pixel using Tapatalk

Ramsey may not have the strongest arm but he is consistent and he's in control of this offense at the moment. Sent from my Pixel using Tapatalk

So happy for J-Shun after all he's been through! Sent from my Pixel using Tapatalk

A 3-0 start and looking ahead to an MSU team that hasn't played great and has an early bye this week? Let's just hope we continue to show improvement on both sides of the field and get out of this game injury free. Sent from my Pixel using Tapatalk

Ball St. hung around with a Notre Dame team that beat Michigan pretty handily the previous week. Is Michigan not as good as people think? Is Ball State better than we think? or did Notre Dame simply underestimate Ball State? Either way, I hope we see a game where we take control early and give our second unit some playing time in the second half.

If they end with a 2 or 3 win season, will they be able to keep those 4-star recruits though?

I wouldn't be surprised to see Purdue end with 2 or 3 wins this season and losing some of their higher rated recruits.

Also worth pointing out, he visited during the monsoon weekend so he got to experience one of the worst gamedays in recent memory. I think this speaks how highly he thinks of the coaching staff. Sent from my Pixel using Tapatalk

True freshman Micah McFadden too, he was a tackling machine in high school. I think he will be a great linebacker by the time he's done at IU. Sent from my Pixel using Tapatalk

A lot of decisions that could come back to haunt us... Sent from my Pixel using Tapatalk

Not a very good day for the Big Ten so far, Northwestern, Purdue, and Nebraska already lost. Iowa barely leading late in the 3rd. and Maryland tied, although still early. Let's hope our Hoosiers can get to 2-0 after tonight! Sent from my Pixel using Tapatalk

Always a nice day when Purdue loses! They really over achieved last season. Sent from my Pixel using Tapatalk

Due to the expected weather: IU- 20 UVA- 16

Definitely not the way we wanted to unveil the new addition to Memorial Stadium! Sent from my Pixel using Tapatalk

Someone had to get this conversation started! Virginia rolls into Bloomington for out home opener after rolling over Richmond 42-13. This is another game that we need to win if we hope to go to a bowl game. Virginia's QB, Bryce Perkins, looks to be very mobile after rushing for 108 yds. and 2 TD's against Richmond. Thankfully, our defense has had to practice against these types of qb's all season long so they should have some experience in dealing with them. The weather forecast may not cooperate as its currently looking like a very wet weekend is ahead of us. This means we will likely see a game relying heavily on the running backs. ESPN's Football Power Index favors Indiana (62.1% vs 37.9%) and Vegas sees us as a 6.5 pt. favorite. Bill Connelly from SBNation sees it differently though; according to his S&P+ metrics, Virginia should beat Indiana by a score of 29-27.

IU- 27 UVA- 23

I would definitely recommend watching the E:60 segment on it if you can find it somewhere. Sent from my Pixel using Tapatalk

And down goes Texas! Nice to see the Big Ten do well, although by the looks of it, that IU vs Maryland game will be harder than most expected. Sent from my Pixel using Tapatalk

I don't know that CTA knew the exact reason why Brandon left team when he said that. That quote is from his weekly radio show, which occurred before Brandon made his statement/social media post. CTA did mention in a later interview that IU would be there for anything that Brandon needed.
