5/6 of the ESPN game day guys (including Scottie Scheffler) picked IU to win.

Saban picked NB because of their defense,

We know for sure that Scheffler didn't pick Louisville.

Got this from a good friend.  Without benefit of a field goal, our kicker out scored Nebraska.

That’s cold

I’m so proud of this coaching staff and program overall. There is new life in the football program and has been for months. 
 

Wish I could’ve gone to this game but I got to attend opening game which was great.

On the way home this morning we stopped in Pigeon Forge for breakfast. Bunch of Roll Tiders there for the UT game. I walked in with my IU hat on and got a few chuckles.

As the song goes... "Can you see me now!"

What. A. Game. My gosh, if that’s what it’s like to be at a game for now on, count me in for season tickets! Best of all, a Husker fan mentioned he had to ask our Hoosier faithful to talk sh-t to him last night because “we’re too respectful and nice.” I wonder if he still feels that way today!

I don't think I've ever planned a whole Saturday morning/afternoon around Indiana Football like I did today. I woke up and was just excited. That was awesome!!!! I will be in town November 9th for the Michigan game. Hope that Gameday is there and that IU keeps winning of course. They could set the single season program record for wins that day. What a time to be a Hoosier.

Curious about the reported 80 recruits that were allegedly at the game today for IU.  Anyone have an idea?  Read somewhere that they were 4 and 5 star guys...some from instate.

Hope that Rourke's thumb is okay.  Don't need a broken thumb screwing up momentum.  Hopefully was just a cut/nail issue as Cignetti seemed to think.

Hey in fairness, Husker fans are the same way. I’ve seen a game out there and that is the friendliest rowdy sell-out crowd I’ve ever seen. Uncomfortably nice folks out on the prairie.

I had the displeasure of sitting near maybe the most annoying Nebraska fan in the building yesterday.  (Didn't say anything bad or over the line, but just wouldn't shut up through the first quarter and a half).  He was however, very quiet in the 2nd half.  All the other Nebraska fans around us were great.

It looked bad on TV. Hopefully it’s just next game.

Man — why can’t we have nice things? We FINALLY get a really good team, and wouldn’t you know it — our QB gets hurt.

 

Have confidence in Tayven, but still … Mr. Rourke is on a different level.

[Brass Cannon 24,271]

This feels precautionary. Or just a ruse

My guess….broken thumb.  If so, wouldn’t probably be back until the bowl game.

[RaceToTheTop 25,014]

I have some confidence in Jackson.  His one problem under Allen was interceptions but I trust Cig.

It’s definitely not broken thumb. Had a procedure to remove rest of thumbnail. Giving it time to heal….usually takes about 10 days for sensitivity to wear off. Could play this week but would be VERY painful and Cig has full confidence in Tayven. Our offense is scheme based so with a competent QB it’s almost plug n play and from what we’ve seen out of Tayven this year and the spring game, he’s MORE than capable.
