To be fair Eastern did beat a very strong Earlham team.

We had not faced a single projected first round NFL player until yesterday. Michigans DL features two projected first round picks (roughly the 5th and 21st overall picks) PLUS a projected third rounder. Our OL faced those THREE NFL DL guys while missing a starter and with a sub that only had one day to practice with the starters. The more I think about it the better I feel. Their TE was one of their best weapons and he is projected late first round/early 2nd. Rourke looked a little rattled which surprised me as did the dropped passes. In spite of that we beat UM by 5, endured a great test/challenge and have a perfectly timed bye week. Who knows what will happen at OSU? They have taken care of some teams but only beat Nebraska by three. Can’t wait for the game.

Surprised to see his production decrease each year as I thought he would be a monster. Injuries, playing time??

Adding in Rourke’s thumb, and getting two weeks to prepare for OSU, the bye week is perfectly timed.

Yep, Nothing sexier than a guy about to make 8,000,000 a year. That is enough money to make me good looking.

Still a lot of football to go but it would be awfully sweet to move into one of the first round “at home” slots. A playoff game in Bloomington…..just crazy!!!!

Agreed but I will make an excuse for them. Michigan has two, and possibly three according to some, projected 1st round draft picks on the DL and we lost a starting OL a few days before the game.

Just a joke. Relax…we are 10-0.

My wife won’t like it but I’m going to frame the prediction league standings and put it over our living room couch.

The CBS post game crew is singing IU praises. I incorrectly thought they would be babbling about our schedule.

Game ball to the entire D

I thought wining would be fun but I have been miserable this half…. But…..soon to be very happy with a W and Blanton’s.

He has been so good this year. Has caught literally everything he has gotten his hands on. Agreed that would have sealed the game.

That was really dumb.

The last guy I thought that would drop 2 passes

Keep running up the middle on first down like the IU of old.

Rourke has been great this year but you can’t take that 14 yard sack.

His pass was perfect (looking good for his thumb) but it was dropped. Our offense is cooked.

OMG. An IU drop pass.

I didn’t think anyone would shut us down like this. Really nervous.

Good D Bad O

So far I don’t think we are blowing away the pollsters. Offense has looked meh for a while. Need 14 in the 4th quarter

If he had been called in the second half he would have had to sit out the first half of the OSU game. Fortunately,, he was flagged in the first half so only has to miss the rest of this game.

The good thing is that he doesn’t have to sit out against OSU.

Watching our DL outplay an offensive line full of 4/5 stars is a beautiful thing.
