Second Half ND Game Thread

Unfortunately, the troll may have been right. Not sure we belonged in the playoffs.

Tom Allen would have at least tried to win this game. Lol. Not running short kicks back was the beginning of giving up. Never even pretended to try to win this game.

How does a fanbase that's flipping their jackets in a couple weeks chant Hoosier Daddy?

Sure doesn’t seem like we can handle the high echelon teams yet.

We HAVE to use this season to recruit better talent. Point blank. Or this season becomes a nice story that ends in regression to the middle of the pack. Bottom line. We had an easy schedule, caught Michigan rebooting and Washington too. It won’t get easier. We need more talent and size. We can’t count on a good coach and majority FCS transfers. Hopefully resources and Cig will make the jump to the next level.

We took advantage of a weak schedule but no chance in hell we’re a top 12 team:

As great as Kurtis has been this season, in today's game -- you gotta have a QB who can run. 

You don't want him running 20 times a game, but to really make the offense work, he's gotta be able to pose that threat. 

And avoid the rush and buy yourself some time, with our receivers we could have got some big plays!

3 points. If you’re gonna be an underdog, be an underdog. Go out with a bang. Trick plays. Fake punts. Show some swag. We ran up the middle and punted on 3rd down with 8 mins to play. Cig had talked the talk and for the most par lt walked the all this year, but this was a poor showing in all aspects. 

Same as osu. Outcoached by guys twenty years his junior  who’s own fan bases didn’t want at one time.

That shoulda been offsetting penalties -- unsportsmanlike on both sides. 

How is the kid standing over Lawton after riding him 4-5 yards out of bounds and nearly breaking his leg not taunting?

Welp gents, this is the time we find out what Coach Cig is made of.  Will he look at himself in the mirror and realize he needs to improve his coaching in some small aspects (don’t play scared), or are we going to be the same team that’s just happy to be here but never really moves forward.  I hope unlike our past basketball coaches that  he adapts his game accordingly.  Great season, but we have something to prove to the rest of the nation. However long that takes.

Notre Dame Football vs IU Football.

IU use to be a basketball school.

You think people will be rooting for Woodson in two weeks? I wish I shared your optimism.

[Hoosierfan1901 6,301]

Same like OSU, waited to long to play up tempo

[colonel06 1,917]

Damn it I was afraid of this!!

Honestly, even if they maintain this level, it’s so much better than what Indiana has been in the past I can’t be mad. It won’t justify the money they put up for him, but it’s better than anything we’ve had in over 30 years.

This comment is part of the problem though.
