Well I was there and that was the absolute ugliest game to sit through. Great venue. Great seats. Not a bad view. Not sure if Josh is hurt or just bad but until OT he looked awful. Frustrating to me was Lee or Turbo would gain good yards then come out in favor of the other. Defense is ELITE. We survived but I really think we drop in the polls after that one. 

Cignetti said he wasn’t 100% after the game during the sideline interview.

Positives:

We won

We might have the best defense when Sharpe and Harris are healthy

Our run game was better

Bad:

How hurt is Hoover? 

Other:

**** the schedule makers. 9 in a row is ridiculous, I know NW plays 10 in a row, thats dumb

Glad to be past UM and OSU. Ref ball is stupid and annoying. Call the game both ways.

NCAA investigation pending, no doubt.

Wouldn't surprise me if the Big Ten eventually fines IU for their injury report.  IMO they shouldn't be required reports.  Stop being beholden to the almighty gambling dollars.

Bye week will be good.  Hoover and Khobie should be 100% in two weeks.

We definitely don't have last year's offense, but the defense has been even better than last year.  Giving up just 11 points per game.

We got one more game before the bye

Need Khobie. Turbo and Beebee don't have the potential he has.

Too bad IU's D can't play against IU's offense. 

[Henryville Hoosier]

I like to see the tight ends get more involved in the passing game.

Had a lot of work outside to do today so only caught bits and pieces of the game. Figured I could watch it later. Saw the last five minutes and overtime. I think I'll skip everything before then I was ready to start a thread for the five stages of grief but don't have to now.

The crowd was deflated when Josh hit Schott in OT. They were so loud and that took the wind out of their sails. Great atmosphere. Nice fans. We had a good time but it was very hard to sit through.

Beat me to it. Is it probability of playing? Say a guy has his arm ripped off but he’s 100% gonna wear a prosthetic and go. Are you then good not to report him? 

This is the same program that had Rourke play 8 games with a torn ACL. So there's precedence here.

Very interesting comments from Cig. 

[RaceToTheTop]

Figured the game was going to be a dogfight despite my prediction (hope) in the prediction thread.

Who would have thunk three years ago we would be complaining about a win in the Big house to go 7-1.

[RaceToTheTop]

Defense did a great job containing Carr's legs.  Four sacks and he ended up with 15 carries for 6 yards with the sacks taken out.  That would mean he probably had like 35 yards on 11 carries.

[Home Jersey]

Cig says he usually only calls timeouts on defense if he sees alignment or personnel issues. 

They also discussed bringing Wilson in at length in the second half, said he is capable, but decided it's Josh's season and let him ride it out, ultimately he responded and we won. Should only get healthier moving forward.

According to Michigan Twitter verse, MIchigan lost because of refs.

Michigan had one.*******.penalty.

That's true. They didn't give them a 5th or 6th down.

Savage is special
