Don’t look now but we are 3 and 0!!!!!!!!!

This ain’t your childhood IU team!!  Other IU teams would have folded like a house of cards early on. These guys have heart!!! It certainly wasn’t perfect, but I will relish in what appears to be the best IUFB team I’ve seen in my 30 years of watching IUFB. 
 

I second that and raise you about 20 years. Love this team. Maybe the most complete team on both sides of the ball that I can remember.

I’m just so glad that my joy of  watching IU football will no longer just consist of me saying “ Oh yeah , we beat the spread”.

Technically we did beat the spread though which is nice

What’s the rank after this week? Georgia has to fall pretty far right? Wiscy falls after not playing for a few weeks too? Can we break into the top 10?!!!!

Honestly I do not see much if any movement. Break top 10? Who falls out of top 10? Only top 10 to lose was GA who lost to another top 10 team. Now one of ND and Clem will lose but same scenario as GA. So maybe 12 but I'd guess idle.

About four hours ago #iufb was tenth trending twitter us topic.  That's two times in three weeks that IU has been top ten.

Isn’t that Georgia’s second loss? I’d imagine Wiscy has to drop with not playing for two weeks too. The last spot I’m not sure though.

Watching those videos shows two things
1) this teams has character and some characters
2) this team loves each other and their coach

Man would it be awesome to watch IU become a steady top half of the Big Ten east program.

Agree with you 110%....Another real big thing that sticks out to me is the swagger this bunch has. It is really exciting and fun to watch!

Lastly, we finally have a little depth as well. For example, Last weekend seeing MP hobble a little bit in the second half. I started to worry but not for long. Bc we actually have a pretty damn good backup qb as well.

We do? I would like to see Tuttle play well once before I can get on board with that.

He was ranked highly, at least. Who knows what he's like as a college quarterback. He's thrown 11 in-game passes in three years since high school.

Apparently, Matthew Bedford is a MUCH better dancer than Armaan Franklin.

Agree with you from a “big picture” perspective. Back in the day having J. Johnson thrown out or losing a starting DL, OL, RB, LB might have been fatal. Our depth now allows us to overcome those challenges.  When it comes to QB however......Tuttle might be the “real deal” but I would have been nervous as hell to have him debut in the UM game.  Penix is the one guy I think that we absolutely cannot afford to lose.  Would be nice if we happen to run up the score against someone so that Tuttle could get some reps.
