Northwestern is bad... Rutgers is better than Indiana. But Northwestern is probably worse than Indiana.

I don't know who we are yet, we've only played Ohio State so far.  Fresno is a vastly different opponent.  Wouldn't you agree?

No, what I saw yesterday they won't score 35 against ISU

Northwestern will beat Howard and MAYBE UTEP next week, and that will be it. They are horrible.

I know this much.  Schiano is a good coach.

Look at it this way.  IU was a 31 point underdog and lost by 20.  Purdoo was a 4 point favorite and lost by 4.  

Does that clarify for you which was a worse loss?

Jeez it's like I'm talking to a purdumpster fan.  

It's OK to be down on IU football, we all are.  But to not see this point is just ridiculous.

I don't think math is going to be a strong suit in here

Brian Kelly: "I loved my time at Notre Dame. I have nothing but great memories there," Kelly said. "But the whole landscape there is different than it is here. It just is. There are priorities at Notre Dame. The architectural building needed to get built first. They ain't building the architectural building here first. We're building the athletic training facility first, [and] we're in the midst of a $22 million addition to our athletic training facility.”

Shorter version: “To win a Natty I needed a school that doesn’t give 2 $hits about academics.”

From 2016, but surely things haven’t changed much. The first paragraph is all you need to read.

Just now seeing this somehow. What on earth is going on in East Lansing?

 

*for clarity, because I had to go to the replies to confirm; MSU did in fact let Brown back into the game.

IUFB is just sandwiched between the two. Rutger might be better than Maryland though?

[WayneFleekHoosier 47,069]

Duke and UNC seem to have semi righted the ship with their football programs.  I think we should look into that formula and see if we can find some ideas to copy.  Duke looked hyper athletic vs  Clemson last night.  Having a mobile QB is paramount for a good college football team especially one that can't put overpowering brutes up and down the offensive line.

If he plays like he played against TCU the remainder of the season, Shedeur Sanders will guide Colorado to a lot of wins, will be a Heisman candidate and part of the discussion for the 1st overall pick in the NFL draft. He's that good. 

Does anyone know what kind of depth Colorado has? I'm wondering if Coach Prime is one injury away from the wheels falling off or if he's actually got plenty of spares.
