Piece of cake.

If I knew any Michigan State football fans I'd be talking mad **** to them right now.  I don't though, so if you do please send them my regards

Works for me!

Wow just wow. I had turned that game off 3 separate times.

And the ending was a cornucopia of emotions. Never expected us to score in 2 plays in double OT. Williams threw two great passes including the 2 point try, with the OL giving him time both times.

IU football thinking…So if Illinois beats Michigan and IU football fans slept from Illinois game until today does that mean IU football is better than Michigan football.

Well, after Michigan beats Illinois IU football may not be quite as good as Michigan football but today was more than just another moral victory vs Michigan State.

Does IU football have the most moral victories in major college football?

If Minnesota beats Iowa today, it would keep Purdue out of the Big Ten title game (unless Iowa lost to Nebraska the final game).

If moral victories were victories, we still wouldn't be bowl eligible most years.

Not sure but I do know that we have the most immoral losses.

Here’s a sabermetric for you nerds: 13 points per Dexter Williams completion.

Has to be a record imo

A win today gets T. A. off the hot seat for a week.  And if IU beats Purdue things would be positive for T. A. going into 2023 season.  
which leads me to think there would be 1 or 2 more wins (Maryland, Nebraska, Rutgers) in 2022 if coaching staff would have motivated Dexter Williams as starting QB back in August…even though I think there was a question of how hard he worked since he felt he was not going to be the starter and IU depending on passing game which went off the rails.  Don’t see how IU beats Purdue?

Michigan State offensive stats vs IU stats

However, IU No fumbles.

No more than for the players IU football is challenging to say the least.  This game and post game is a testament to the hard working commitment, effort, and time that is required from players and coaches.

Fantastic!! Send him out with a W!!!

That's a long stretch of 'So you're saying there's a chance'-ville.

It helps when QB is durable or seems to be durable and quick and fast that at IU can keep himself healthy.

Credit to the players, for still playing hard. Despite bad coaching, nothing on the line, and horrible weather
