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

[Demo]

1 of the takeaways from this game needs to be that you need to force feed Nick Marsh. That kid is nasty big, strong and fast and college CB’s are overmatched against him. He is a big play waiting to happen and he didn’t do a single thing today that he couldn’t do to any team they play.

[BtownStrength]

Never daunted. 

OK maybe a little daunted. But damn what a win.

Nah, years of conditioning are tough to break 

Decades.

You are so used to this program giving up that when they actually win you're still surprised.

Is this the game that finally gets people to stfu about Hoover? Still zero turnovers on the year. But dude is a baller

[IUHoosier5]

Right after Nebraska went up 11, I said, “let’s see what Hoover’s got.” Well, he showed me he’s got BALLS. Heckuva win. Truly a heckuva win.

I’m writing script for ESPN:

Florida losing to South Carolina proves that both South Carolina and Florida are really good

IU barely beating Nebraska proves that both IU and Nebraska are really bad.

Absolutely incredible win. Nebraska is a good team with a really good QB and this was their superbowl, a chance to prove them selves. 

Nebraska took away our A game which is running the ball and we still found a way to win. 

Hoover made the throws when it mattered and Haines made incredible adjustments the second half. 

This is what good teams do. Even when you have them on the ropes you still expect them to win. 

Screw the spread, just keep winning and improving.

WE'RE GOING BOWLING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 

 

Hopefully more than that tho

Tough to tell from TV but my impression was they were crowding the line and taking away the run. Then after a couple big Becker plays they started shading help his way leaving Marsh 1-on-1.  Either way, every week they can only take away 2/3 of marsh, Becker, or run game. Someone is gonna get to make plays

and usually 30-40 degrees colder too

You take the win, that's about as ugly as a win can be. Hoover made the throws when we needed him to.

I’m an eternal sunshine pumper, and had a really hard time today! I’m just glad you haven’t had to change your name back!!

[WayneFleekHoosier]

WOW WOW WOW. That had all the feels of Iowa last year.  I almost gave up at 17-6.  

Go Hoosiers!  
 

I for sure was extremely Daunted today.

Yah low key he was really good. Had the DPI, but for the most part he was good. 

 

Honestly our DBs were good in coverage. They were asked to be in coverage a long time on a lot of those plays

I'm an IU football fan, so will take any conference road win...but my expectations are lowered. This is nowhere near a NC contending team. Still top 5 all-time at IU (very shallow pool!) so gonna try to enjoy it. I still think this team is more talented than last season, but they are missing "it." And Moore, Ponds and Coogan. No idea why they couldn't run the ball today, but I am POSITIVE there are many much better D-lines than Nebraska's. First game in the Cig era that IU's staff was clearly out-coached too. Eye-opener.

Thought we were toast after they went up 17-6.  But they found something on both sides of the ball…and executed in the 4th quarter.  Well done Hoosiers.  

Okay…now we’re bowl eligible.  Whew!

[DChoosier]

We knew what we had when Mendoza was under the gun in a tight game but what about this year????. It was GREAT to see Hoover step up in crunch time.

Survive and advance!! The pollsters will prolly drop us out of the top 10 now. 

Absolutely. Any reason to make sure to devalue the defending national champions.
