IUFB at Nebraska - Saturday, 10.10.26 @ noon ET on Fox TV ---GAME THREAD

[DChoosier]

We win this on the road and SEC/ESPN will yawn and say we beat a poor, unranked team.

Meanwhile…………………..ESPN’s own FPI ranking has Nebraska 13th and Northwestern 16th. Hello!!!!! Anyone at the network paying attention?

I just wonder if we will ever throw a pass to a TE this year.

Do you mean a TD pass?  We’ve thrown a pass or two

All I remember is one target to Gibbs but no catch.

Brock caught one against UNT or Howard. Can’t remember which

Oh, and Schott caught one pass in the NT game opener.  So that's two passes.

I think so.  That’s a position we’re young in and needed development — it was a rough start.  Barker, Gibbs, and Schott have been improving (notably blocking).  Not sure who breaks out but I think we’ll see more passes heading their way as they get the basics down.

Most analysts say one word regarding for Nebraska to win.  That word is “HOPE”

Side note: The same word that was used throughout much of IU football history…not anymore because IU football is the “HUNTED.”

IU Stampede vs Nebraska

Watched a video of coach talking about this game, he did not seem thrilled to be playing a game at 11 o'clock in the morning.....I think playing a football game that early kind of sucks, at least it's the same for both teams.

11:00 am is terrible but at least that’s a noon kick-off for the IU players body-clock.

IU whips on Nebraska today at noon ET. 

Nebraska is undefeated and unranked.  There is a reason.  Their running game is suspect.  Saved by the running of QB Anthony Colandrea.  

They started slowly against MD.  In contrast, IU finally got right out of the blocks in IU's last game!

Nebraska's passing game is also not really clicking.  

Their defense is good.  But both sides of the ball for them suffers from penalties.

If IU contains their QB...

Are any of these Nebraska injuries impactful?

Raby mentioned Van Poppel's numbers were pretty good through 5 games.

Fox wants an upset so bad today they can taste it....getting off to a quick start today to take this goosed up crowd out of the game is going to be very important!

Lasley - Van Poppel tied for team-lead in TFLs and second in sacks.

The world we live in. An ignorant loudmouth telling someone who knows what he’s talking about and offering an opinion based on his own lived experience that he’s wrong. I loathe the Portnoy’s of the world to degree I can’t quantify.

I like that in this homer's post article poll, 64% have Indiana winning.
