ThompsonHoosier Posted October 31, 2019 Posted October 31, 2019 Its Spooky Season and the Hoosiers bowl eligible! This week we welcome the Wildcats under the lights of Memorial Stadium. Although Northwestern boasts one of the most experienced defenses in the conference, their offense has been dreadful this season ranking last in conference. According to the coaches, Penix has practiced this week but will once again be a game-time decision. But Hunter Littlejohn should be back for Indiana this week after missing the last two games. Let's hope we can pack the rock and get a good crowd behind this team! 1993 (26 years!!) was the last time we won 7 regular season games. We are currently an 11 point favorite and ESPN's Football Power Index gives us an 81.0% probability of winning on Saturday. Bill Connelly's SP+ metrics give us a slightly better probability at 87%. In terms of overall SP+ rankings: Northwestern (1-6): Overall: 76 Offense: 126 Defense: 13 Special Teams: 97 Indiana (6-2): Overall: 23 Offense: 14 Defense: 42 Special Teams: 14 Crimson and Cream, Josh, thebigweave and 3 others 5 1 Quote
KzooHoosier82 Posted October 31, 2019 Posted October 31, 2019 Any word on Ramsey’s injury? They said on the broadcast it looked like a potential sternum bruise which hurts like hell but shouldn’t keep him out if called upon this week. However if it’s a broken rib that could be a different story Quote

Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile appShould have been called targeting. That was a textbook “why we made that rule” hit. Thankfully, the defender who hit hm didn’t get seriously injured.

I wouldn’t be surprised at all if we have a sluggish 1st half, then step it up and put it away in the 4th quarter. This will be the first game all year I will get to watch live start to finish, so I’m really excited. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app mamasa and Rico 2 Quote

The NW defense is good so the offensive side should respect them enough to be keyed in. Quote

We’ll find out today but they’ve lost to Wisconsin, MSU, Iowa, OSU and Stanford which are all teams we have or likely would have lost to as well. Nebraska being the only outlier and they only lost to them by 3. I think we’re better than they are but our guys better show up today and play like it or we’ll be in trouble. Defense has to play better today and keep the pressure on their QBs. Here to rooting for IU going 1-0 this week. Go Hoosiers! Rico 1 Quote

Better than the record indicates and their defense will be a good test for our offense. Will be interesting to see how the defense will play today. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners Quote
