I wonder what kind of bonus (if any) assistant coaches get for winning awards like this.

Anyways, congratulations to him. Well deserved.

Kurtis finished 9th in Heisman voting. Anyone know the last time we had a guy in the top-10?

Randle El? Have we had anyone since him?

I would think someone snuck in there at some point. Tevin maybe?

Just found the voting record. Yes, Tevin Coleman in 2014.

Sheesh, I forgot what a monster year that was! 7.5yds avg per carry on 270 attempts is crazy.

 Not sure 3rd team is doing that kid justice. He was basically unblockable in every game.

Love this. Great kids. Ellison continues to move up my board of all time favorite IUFB players. Expecting a big night Friday from him. Had never heard about the X connection before.

These 2 make me proud to be an IU alumnus. They saw something when there was nothing, and being a lifelong IUFB fan through decades of struggle I can identify with that. There may be numerous successful seasons under Cignetti, but the 2024 team will always have a special spot for the belief they could accomplish what no previous squad could.

Well said. You never forget your first!

Awesome season.  Looking forward to next year.

A BIG thanks to the boys and coaches for a great and immensely fun season.  Looking forward to next season!  Going to be a tougher road.  Let’s get some dudes!

Very frustrating end to the year but we only lost two games, on the road, to top 10 teams.  Very proud of our guys.

Hang the banner, sculpt the statue, kick any ill-speakers of Kurtis Rourke into the grand canyon. What a warrior.

Loved Kurtis Rourke all year long. Great representative of IU and a great player who led us to places we have never been in football. Hope the next chapter in his life is everything he wants.
