We handled our business on the road. Now let's not have a let-down and go into PSU, clean them up like we should, and come home ready for the biggest test of the season.

This should be an absolute mauling. Hope we maintain our focus, and don't look ahead to Iowa.

[hoosierpap 14,300]

I'll be there haggling that most pretentious fan base. It's come to be something I really look forward to.

If we are going to have a bad game soon, let's go ahead and get it out of the way Saturday.

All I ask is that they don't play don't to the level of PSU. We always do that

Handle business at penn st and bring on Iowa. I can't wait to see how this team does against them. Potentially start 11-1 in the b1g which would be huge.

I'm expecting a little let down against Penn State. I still think IU wins but will be closer than we think. All that matters is IU gets the W which isn't hard to get at PSU.

The key to this game is ball control. Bryant and Max should have a field day against Penn State's interior if they get their chances, which means limiting turnovers and good transition defense to prevent foul trouble. I know this team is built on transition, but I think that a slower pace and more in control half-court offense is the key for this game.

I think you're probably right. And if you're going to let down and have to play a closer game, PSU is a good choice to do it against. Probably a high single digit victory like @Minnesota.

My wife thinks it's crazy to leave Knoxville Saturday morning, drive up to watch the game, get a hotel and drive back Sunday. Based on geography and my schedule this is the only game I could possibly make this year. I keep telling her she'd do it for UT football.

It's a Big10 road game. We should win, but it will not be easy. Any Big10 road win is a great win.

It's a 3 hr drive for me. I'll check with my son tonight to see if he wants to go but I will likely be heading up regardless!!!!!!!!

If you are raising him right he will say yes. I'd say this is a true test of your parenting up to this point.

Things people in Portland can't say.

[VO5 8,339]

Worried about this game. Can't be thinking about Iowa or we'll lay an egg

[HoosierAloha 30,092]

I really want to see IU come out firing on all cylinders.  This is a game we should control the entire way up until more Priller minutes on the road in the B1G!!!  If this happens I want to hear all the chants from IU fans in attendance!

Next season for football or basketball, it's your turn with the family to come see us. Road trip to BTown from St. Louis!
