IUFB @ UCLA - 9/14 @ 7:30ET on NBC

This team is clearly better than anything we have had in recent memory. Not just better, better across the board. How that translates the rest of the way remains to be seen. But, I'm certain this team will not lose games in the typical manner we have lost in the past. The sideline shots of CCC are hilarious. I can't tell if we are winning or losing and I like it.

It's weird how much better coached they look. Actually making the plays that are there. They look like a real team. Not winning because of fluke plays and definitely passing the eye test. Way more "pro" looking.

Honestly idk how UCLA even recruits. Any coach with a brain recruiting a kid interested in UCLA pops in the Indiana @ UCLA TV copy from any point in the 2nd half, tells them to close their eyes, and asks where the game is being played. 

Yeah yeah the campus is in Beverly Hills and it’s LA and on and on, but you’re 1 of 500 shows in town every single week and your coach looks like he’s 5 seconds of silence away from falling asleep standing up. 

Aesthetically, they have to compete with their cross-town rivals USC in saying "it's LA!", but intangibles paint a far bleaker picture.  Last conference championship is 1998, forget talking about the '54 natty (that technically speaking is actually Ohio State).  I'm not sure if there's film footage of that team.  The Rose Bowl is historic, but not because of the Bruins.

Attended the game and just basically told everyone and everybody that would listen that, "I told you this team is different and coached like something you're not used to seeing." I finally got some believers.  

Buckle up folks, enjoy the ride and support the eff out of this team.

Culture change happening before our eyes.  The coaching is light years ahead of anything we’ve seen in the last 20-30 years. Not a good UCLA team by any stretch but we went on the road and easily took care of business.

Don't post much at all anymore, but had to come here after that awesome performance by our Hoosiers.  Start to finish, IU dominated this game and never looked back.  Loving the way this is starting to take shape under Coach Cig.  Keep this up and it will be a very good season.  Great job Hoosiers!

I think the refs just called another targeting penalty when the team arrived back in Indiana

[LamarCheeks]

The hit on Fisher after his interception (which ended up getting called back anyway). 

Still not sure how this is NOT targeting, particularly when you consider the two targeting calls against us. 

And the former official analyzing for NBC insisted it wasn't targeting. WTF!
