Love this opening statement from Bielema here, and what this implies about Cig, the program and leadership.

This may be my favorite message board post of the night, and it’s from an Illinois fan on an Illinois board. This Illini fan was at the game. His impressions:

Illinois yesterday was the IU football we suffered through for too many games over too many seasons.  

Yup. Overmatched on both lines and just taken to the woodshed by much of the conference because of it.

From Big Ten Football

Fernando Mendoza in a red Indiana football uniform with the number 15, holding a football in a throwing position. An inset image shows a player in a black Ohio State uniform with the number 7. The text overlay reads "FERNANDO MENDOZA IS THE FIRST BIG TEN QB TO THROW AT LEAST 4 TDS IN THREE STRAIGHT GAMES SINCE OHIO STATE\'S C.J. STROUD IN 2022." A "BIG 10" watermark is present.

He was excellent and had a couple big time throws. That one for a TD in the red zone where he threw it to the back of the end zone over a guy dropped in zone coverage was a dime.  
 

I can see why at least the one publication has him listed as the top QB drafted next year.

Last night was "big time" football.  If you had told me as a student when the school was handing out tickets to Freshman for free and we were winning 2 to 3 games a year that we would ever be a "big time" football program in my lifetime, I would have asked for some of what you were smoking.

Amazing what a competent staff, commitment from the school, and the leveling of the pay to play playing field cand do for a program.

Watched SECPN College Football Final fully expecting them to somewhat dismiss IU’s win as a victory over an overrated Illinois team.

I was wrong. Much to my surprise they were very complimentary including Joey Galloway who didn’t believe in IU pretty much all last year. No mention of the schedule etc but rather just listed positives including saying we could likely be better than last year.  
 

Very nice/surprising to hear. 
 

Iowa is the next “must-win game” (LOL) in order to keep positive momentum and narrative.  We are in great shape if we beat Iowa and then beat, or are very competitive against, Oregon.

Lol, stolen from Reddit: 

Fernando Mendoza threw 5 TDs with 2 incompletions against a defense that held its previous three opponents to a combined 47/79 (59%) passing with two total TDs

If Fernando Mendoza didn’t throw a pass or gain a yard today, Indiana still would’ve outgained their top 10 opponent by 150 yards and outscored them by 3 TDs
