Regarding IU football, has it crossed anyone’s mind that the world may be coming to an end? Regarding IU coach….at a certain point grass is not always greener elsewhere….it’s a risk and what kind of reward do you get….especially when you fixed it at IU and it is never going to break until you are finished with a pretty healthy legacy to be left behind in its own right. Why jump into a pressure cooker when life is happy land and it’s not like you are living in poverty monetarily and non monetarily.

James Franklin is just going to take a swan dive into his big pile of buyout money and roll around in celebration. Coaches with a truckload of buyout money just lose every game and retire Lol.

He emphasized it again by commenting on big wins at Elon and JMU in post game IU interview.

Oregon win one game closer to 12-0 regular season.

That Iowa win looks like a pretty big win not that far behind Oregon though Oregon was a bigger win than Iowa win but Iowa was not far behind. IU through much difficulty at Iowa put themselves in a position to win and they did. Iowa 37 Wisky 0

“I Win”. The most true words I have heard in a very long time.

Cignetti in post game interview…..what stood out to me the most was when he addressed how big the Oregon win was. He stated it was a big win and said he had a couple wins at his last place that he coached that were equal to this win…..kinda sounds like something Bob Knight would say….and to me it’s a statement of remembering where he came from in honor of those players, coaches and others involved in those programs…..Pure class.

IU football is physical.

IU needs practice taking a knee at end of games….weakest part of their game…..so Mendoza doesn’t get hurt or fumble the ball.

That first down call that favored IU makes up for about a third of the calls that went against IU.

Been waiting the whole game for an Oregon turnover.

See if Oregon defense will wear down if IU can make 3 first downs.

Gift. IU qb confidence and rest of offense vs fired up Oregon defense.

IU defense reminds me of some of Saban Alabama defenses a few years ago the way they have pursuit to the ball.

Oregon defense looked a little tired last IU drive.

IU improved since first game of season running ball into end zone from the two yard line.

Penn State 14. Northwestern 13 Half Time in Happy Valley…Good omen for IU …Quarter 3 now

Second Half

Enthusiastic coach assisting the officials playing every second and every yard…. First half it worked

Oregon offensive line tanks vs IU defensive drones

Didn’t say they did need to cheat the other team but it is reality ever how much…sometimes even ever so slightly that creates a little edge for the traditional elite teams.

Getting the benefit of ref calls that can favor the direction of a game traditionally happens more times than not for traditional elite programs. However, those are the better teams and are probably going to win anyway a very large percentage of the time which they do.

Illinois is like watching past 4 and 5 win IU teams.

Ohio State and the few teams similar to them can not look good but still win games….looking up at scoreboard and they always have solid to big leads at some point in the game whether it’s earlier in game lead or a grinding out type of game over the course of the game or later in the game.
