Does IU get a 38-0 half time lead and kind of coast to 42 to 0 or 3 or 7 playing 2n, 3rd, and 4 th stringers starting middle of quarter 3.  The physical difference has to be such a mis-match.

I would 10000% doubt that IU had 38 at half and ended at 42 points.  4 points in a half is two safeties.

I simply don't get how you go into week one with two starting quarterbacks.  Pick a lane......quarterback competition is for the offseason.

I don't consider Indiana State FCS.  Let's whoop em

A reminder...  It's Indiana!  /s

Snark aside, Indiana went into this season without a proven B1G caliber upper classman QB.  

The OL is really the decider.  How in the heck would you recruit a splendid QB corp and keep it?  Especially knowing that previously you would be likely seriously injured?

I think Sorsby likely pulls away as the starter in this game. Hopefully Walt Bell remembers that he is getting paid to do his job as the offensive coordinator and not the stalling coordinator.

I make plans on a Friday about 3 times a year, and one of them is of course when IU plays on a Friday :(  The Jim Irsay Collection is just too cool to miss, so looks like it'll be DVR for me.

What does that entail? I call this work, 'Curtis Painter Pick Six'

Game Day! The excitement! The buzz! The tradition...

Well, never mind that. 

Football vs soccer...that is the question.

 IU's game plan is like that of golf. Keep your head down and keep the score low.

Let’s let Lucas go nuts in the first half and get his 10,000 steps in for the day.

Dexter and Jamier Johnson are out. Bonds, Walker, Minor and Longman are questionable. 

Pretty healthy for a post-OSU week.

So is that kind of like a T.A. Insurance excuse just in case the score is close like 7 to 3 at halftime? Lol

[Hoosierfan2017]

If this game isn’t out of hand by the time I finish working out and picking up my wings I’ll be mighty disappointed.

Roughing the passer on the very first play -- but no second look? 

Is the B1G Network's replay machine broken? 

[Hovadipo]

This is gonna be ugly ugly. 

[LamarCheeks]

And that, folks, is our first TD of the season!

Jaylin Lucas is fast.

We got the Q crew, be lucky there's a camera working.
