Did you catch what Coach Cignetti said in the beginning? He was saying...."I'd like to have finished the game a hair better,...thought we could really have made a statement at the end!" 

I take that as, he could have easily scored again to get it to 49 and a 21 pt. margin, but he called off the dogs. If the clock had more time, we most definitely would have added to that score. It's not a secret that Coach Cignetti wants to score and score at will. Knowing that you've been averaging + or - 50 pts a game all year, with little resistance, feels good.

Agree with him. When you’re trying to flip the narrative of the losingest program in CFB history, it ain’t just about winning, it’s about beating the dog out of people. You have to make voters and national analysts say woah.

And on top of flipping the narrative, even though we aren't dealing with a NET system, it's going to look a lot better to the CFP committee if you're curb stomping as many teams as possible. There's no such thing as "running up the score" anymore. Style points really matter.

He should ask UCLA whether IU or LSU is a tougher opponent.

He asked this question:  https://x.com/AriWasserman/status/1840806863262400625

My first thought was, "OK, same question to you but reversed."

Just keep stacking wins. He'll change his mind, eventually.

IMO, "letting off the gas" for Coach Cignetti is not in his mindset or DNA.

However, to avoid being accused of "running up the score" right now would be a constant borage of running the ball straight through your chest. Pick your poison with IU right now. 

[Lebowski 2,744]

He's forced to keep the foot on the gas due to the tiebreaker scenarios.

Thank you Pat Forde, for the best article I have yet read about Curt Cignetti.

Yeah, it was a one of the better articles I've read so far. It was also about Dolson. I take comfort knowing his criteria for hiring a IUFB HC.

Dude has never had a losing record.  That’s beyond belief.  Not sure what percentage of coaches can say that.

I could listen to this interview on a loop. He kind of reminds me of someone that coached a different sport.
