Indiana to face Duke in the Pinstripe Bowl on 12/26

Recommended Posts

Not sure where to put this, but it seems huge.

@ZachOsterman: Wilson says midyear enrollees can actually come be part of last bowl practices next week. Can't go to bowl. #iufb

@ZachOsterman: So for Indiana, that could be QB Richard Lagow and TE Ian Thomas. #iufb

@ZachOsterman: Correction: TE Ian Thomas is a May graduate. Former Ohio State S Jayme Thompson is the other midyear guy. #iufb


The extra practices make a huge difference. If you look at a team that goes to a bowl each year it works out to about 80 extra practices for players over their career.

Duke announced today that consensus All-American safety Jeremy Cash will miss the Pinstripe Bowl after having wrist surgery today. 

 

Hate to hear that. Work a whole season, bust your ass and miss what is the biggest payoff for the season. 

Sucks. That's a terrible way to end your college career. At least he has played in two previous bowl games (and had one during his transfer year). 

 

Speaking of that... anyone heard any news about Howard?

Not really. Last news I had was it was a decision that would be made closer to that time.

Schlabach's prediction:

 

New Era Pinstripe Bowl

 

Indiana vs. Duke
Dec. 26 (ABC, 3:30 p.m.)

Why to watch: If you're flipping through the channels on the day after Christmas, you might actually think it's a good college basketball game.

 

Who to watch: Indiana running back Jordan Howard missed the regular-season finale against Purdue, but the Hoosiers are hoping to have him back for the bowl game. Howard, a UAB transfer, was named All-Big Ten after running for 1,213 yards with nine touchdowns in nine games.

 

Motivation for Indiana: Are you kidding? What more could the Hoosiers want? They're playing in their first bowl game since 2007 at Yankee Stadium. They'll try for their first bowl win since beating Baylor 24-0 in the 1991 Copper Bowl.

 

Motivation for Duke: The Blue Devils are looking for something good to happen after losing four of their last five games to ruin what seemed to be a special season.

 

Prediction: Indiana 42, Duke 38
