IUFB @ Michigan - Saturday, 10.24.26 @ Noon on Fox TV -- GAME THREAD

[realTomCrean]

A year ago T. Carr was committed to Miami (OH). He didn't receive an offer from UM until 16 Nov 2025. In high school Carr was 10-2 last year. Decent stats but not amazing. His measurables aren't too far off from Hoover (Height/Weight). If IU scores 15 points they win

Part of me feels like this team turns a corner after OSU and we blow this one wide open. At this point think we can definitely count on the defense to do its part. Offense just needs to figure a few things out. Should be a good test.

Hope you are right.  I will be in attendance and want to see them play a good game.

Carr came out of high school as a four star, #15 QB nationally. Why in the world was he committed to Miami of Ohio?

I read that he was originally a 3* prospect.  Perhaps when he received the UM offer the scouting report changed.  We have seen that happen many times.

This game has me nervous. Hoover faced Hill's defense last year and the results were ugly.

[Pagoda]

Well, this is good news.  Khobie back.  Nothing with Hoover’s shoulder or whatever it was that made him wince. OL injury rumor is at least not showing up on the injury report.

[Stuhoo]

No players on the injury list for week 8?

That’s insane.

Totally insane considering the amount of injuries I see on other teams reports. We are in a good spot heading to the bye in a few weeks.

What does Khobe Martin bring that Beebe and Turbo don’t?

Guarnera (C), Norton (LT), and Frazier (RT) are all starters for UM. Babalola was a projected starter this year, but hasn’t played all season due to some knee injury.

Explosiveness. Kid just has insane burst and runs hard

....and IMO he is the one that more consistantly goes north and south with more authority and purpose. 

He kinda reminds me of a bullet train... lol

2019 JMU defeated Weber State (coached by UM D. Coordinator Jay Hill) 30-14. https://www.espn.com/college-football/boxscore/_/gameId/401189294

Kyle Whittingham Since 2016

V. Ranked Teams: 13-23

V. Ranked Teams @ Home: 7-7

V. Current B1G Teams: 19-21

Notably beat IU in the Foster Farms Bowl in 2016 (26-24)

 

[LIHoosier]

Notably beat the guy who won the race to Cool Dad's office in his first game as head coach.

The Cig weekly show with Fisch. Two primary takeaways for me:

1. Cig is in a grumpy-@$$ mood after a ‘no such thing as a moral victory’ game.

2. Player guest Tobi Osunsami is an A+++ young man. Already has his degree in data analytics, after football wants to be in farming with his mom, so smart and so likeable.

This is where Cig's practice philosophy starts to pay dividends.
