BTW, the 'Cats have T.J. Green at QB as well. He is the son of former IU great and NFL QB Trent Green.

Well, last season was a great season with a bitter ending. 8-5 with a Gator Bowl loss. But the bar was set for this group. If we can finish this revised schedule with a 6-3 record heading into another bowl appearance it would be great considering we already knocked off one of the "big boys." It would be nice to be ranked in the final poll. Just "baby steps" for this program.

Michigan is going to be fired up this Saturday after a bad performance vs MSU. But if Allen can exploit their weak secondary a win is very much possible. And to have knocked off two of the Big Guys within the conference would be huge. And the Hoosiers get their shot at the Buckeyes 11/21 when they travel to Columbus.

When was the last time the Hoosiers were ranked 13th? Beating the Wolverines this Saturday would be bring more legitimacy/recognition to the program.

IMO. Yes. DJ is Lawrence's successor, and was part of Swinney’s highest-rated recruiting class since taking over at Clemson. D.J. Uiagalelei was the No. 10 overall player in the class of 2020 and the top-ranked pro-style quarterback, according to 247Sports’ Composite rankings. The 6-5, 245-pound quarterback played for perennial powerhouse St. John Bosco in Bellflower, Calif.... https://247sports.com/Player/DJ-Uiagalelei-45573350/

I'll stick my neck out and say DJ is the real deal. He started two games, put up almost 800 yards, 4 TDS, 0 INTs, and has a RTG of 152.3. Yeah, small window, but IMO a glimpse of the future for Clemson. He put up over 400 yards and 2 TDs vs a good ND team. He's a freshman.

Boston College is not an easy win, a gimme. They were 4-2 going into that game (3-2 in conference). Yeah, but who have they played? One can say that about a majority of the teams in the top 10 IMO LOL

With a great cast of suporting players too. If you know who DJ is, you'd know he'd also step in and excel in Swinney's system. And I don't say that to diminish Lawrence's skills, but that DJ has them too. And he has shown them quite well in his two starts.

I'm not knocking you for wondering if ND played an "elite" Clemson team with Lawrence out. Just throwing my thoughts on it out there. Let's just settle on ND beat a "damn good" Clemson team w/ DJ at QB and let it go at that. LOL

This is one Buckeye fan that wouldn't be devastated if the Hoosiers manage to win in Columbus. Then that just validates this year's Hoosier team, and mo' power to them.

But honestly? I don't think it's going to happen. Our run game has really not been on track most of the year, somewhat erratic with the youth, so I can see Indy's D giving us trouble there possibly. I've watched every Hoosier game this year. Very impressive ... BUT .. if I have one negative take-away, it's that they have not faced a QB this year at the level of a Justin Fields.

Your HC was a defensive coordinator and knows his stuff. When was the last time you saw a Hoosier team with a defense like this? IMO, that's always been their Achille's Heel because I've seen some impressive offenses in the past. Just couldn't stop anyone. But if your defense can control the line and exert pressure, then yeah, that can make it a close game that the Hoosiers can pull out. If not, then I think it could be a long afternoon for Indiana.

But Ohio State, IMO, hasn't played a team of this overall caliber all year. So it's really a test for both of these programs and just how good are they? Won't miss this game for anything!

But to see a B1G Championship game of Indiana v Northwestern would be cool! LOL

That '87 win in Columbus would absolutely be dwarfed by a Hoosiers victory Saturday. That '87 Buckeyes team minus Cris Carter simply wasn't in the class of this OSU team.

And the IU offense cannot leave as many points on the table as they did yesterday in a convincing win over MSU. 24 points aren't likely to cut it Saturday.

GAC
11-15-2020, 01:46 PM
We all know what happened last year when they faced off. No, I don't expect a repeat. And primarily because RB Dobbins ran wild on Indy (193 yds) and scored twice. The Bucks are 3rd in the B1G in Rushing Yds/G at 208. But I look at who they have played ... and I'm still not convinced. RB Teague is a young, developing back. We'll see. The best Run D they played was PSU, who is 5th in the conference (129 yds). Indiana is 3rd (111). We haven't faced anyone who possesses much of a Pass Defense. We will next Saturday because Indiana is 4th in the conference (209 yds).

Circa opened @ 20.5....then Draftkings came in at 21.5, followed by SportsBetting.com @ 19.5. My gut thinks Westgate, MGM and William Hill will try to come in right @ 20.....just short of your traditional 3 TD / XPoint score. If you are someone that does bet on games, I think I would grab that DK line because I feel like this one will not go higher unless Indiana announces someone significant is out. I wish I was an Indiana fan this week.....these are the games you live for, everyone is doubting you, and you kind of have nothing to lose. Nobody likes to lose, but even if Indiana could remain in the game in the 4th and lose by 10 or 13 points, their national respect will increase. I think as long as Indiana can prevent Ohio State from jumping on them early like 21-0 in the first Quarter...and they can go into that 2nd Quarter within striking distance, their confidence will likely only increase. It is a crazy game in a crazy year, if you are within striking distance, anything can happen.

you are probably correct....but while they did not last season, Ohio State did seem to take Indiana for granted early on in games in the previous years of 2018, '17 and '16 when it was fairly tight before Ohio State kind of kicked it in gear in the 2nd half to take control of the games. Then in 2015, which is most similar to this year where both teams came in with out a loss...Ohio State was 4-0 and Ranked #1 & the Hoosiers were 4-0. Indiana hung with Ohio State the entire game, even having the lead at the half and regained the lead in the 3rd Quarter. Indiana scored early in the 4th to get to within 7 with like 10 minutes left in the game....and that was the last score for either team as Ohio State could not pull away, and Indiana could not tie it up. Time expired with Indiana throwing an incomplete pass on 4th and Goal. That Ohio State team was good going 12-1 and beating Notre Dame in the Fiesta Bowl...the only blemish being a 17-14 loss to Michigan State. The big difference in this game will be Indiana showing up with a Top 10 ranking which will make it less likely Ohio State does not take them seriously....but Indiana has played Ohio State about as well as anyone in the Big10 in recent years. For the purpose of full disclosure, that 2015 Ohio State team was much better in the 2nd half of the year than they were in the first when they had a few iffy outings.

Yep. The road to legitimacy runs through Columbus. I've been a diehard Buckeye fan since the mid-60s. We've been knocked off our perch before - and at home! All I can say is that I won't be as heart-broken, like losing to Michigan, if Indy upsets us. I'll just root for The Hoosiers the rest of the way (lol). I like rooting for the underdogs. Especially in this "system" that I feel plays favorites for the sake of ratings and $$$$ to the marquee name schools. JMO, but I don't think they like seeing these schools in National Championship games because of the drawing power/name recognition. I think the Bearcats got one heck of a team. They're ranked 7th. If they go undefeated they still won't get in, even over a one-loss P5 school. It's an uphill battle for these "smaller" schools, and that's the way they like it.

I think most realistic IU fans know that we are in for a tough game this weekend, the odds are long. But IU fans deserve to have a good team worth rooting for. It's been forever since we have had solid teams. For me, IU doesn't even need to win this weekend, just put up a good showing. If not, the national media will just say that the other wins were against good teams that are having down years. I don't agree with that, but that's what will be said. This coaching staff has done an excellent job at recruiting the right players and pushing the right message. Gives us Hoosiers something to root for before basketball season!!!

I think the reason I sympathize with longsuffering Hoosier fans, when it comes to their football program, is that I feel their pain as a longsuffering Brown's fan (lol). Right now, both programs invested, made upgrades, and things are looking upward for once ... but have they done enough to get them over the top after being consistently down for so long? And you won't know that until you beat the Pittsburghs or OSU's who seem to set the standard.

I really don't want to see a repeat of last year's game. I personally have never liked HCs running up scores on teams. Your HC has built a good defense. That, IMO, is going to be the key Saturday. Can they put enough pressure upfront with all the offensive weapons OSU has? Indy's defense has to keep the game close or within shot.

Fields vs. Penix
https://www.pff.com/news/college-football-ranking-all-127-fbs-quarterback-situations-ahead-of-cfb-week-12

I would say the assessment of both these QBs is right on. Field's accuracy is a proven, while Penix started out shaky but has greatly improved, as well as his standing. And I would also add that the Hoosiers have beaten 3 of the B10's established winning programs in PSU, Michigan, and MSU. I don't care what kind of state these programs are in this year, have fallen on hard times suddenly - Indiana still beat all three.

In the B10, overall defense ... Indy 4th OSU 5th. If I had to list a "weakness" for both these teams it would be OSU's Pass D (secondary 225 yds/G), and the Hoosier's Run game (12th B1G). One of these QBs is gonna have to shine for their team to win IMO. There's one think you can't measure - FIGHT. Who wants it more? Who is/was better prepared? That's what it comes down too.

And there will hardly be any fans at all in the stadium in Columbus, so that's not a factor.

The Hoosiers have three INTs and no points to show for any of it. Not so when OSU creates a turnover.

In my opinion, that Pick 6 is on the play caller (if the out was the primary option). You have to know your personnel and the opponent. The IU QB does not have a strong arm that creates a tight spiral with zip on the ball, and you are asking him to make a pass from the left hash to the to the field side with a 1st Round Draft pick in coverage. That is a very difficult throw even when the receiver can get good separation, and it is nearly impossible when the DB has tight coverage. Some people think that is a simple throw, but I challenge anyone to go out to your local high school field, stand at the 10 yard line at the left hash, now drop back 5-7 yards and throw it to the field sideline @ the 20 yard line. There are QB's in the NFL I do not trust with that throw. Brady has got picked a couple times on that exact play this year for the Bucs because he does not have a cannon for an arm. It is not like throwing a deep ball and allowing a receiver to run under it.....it has to be thrown on a rope. Wade has not had a great game because I would have thought he would have had more picks or breakups because the IU QB puts too much air under the ball. The coach should have never asked him to make that play....and it pisses me off because Indiana had all the momentum.

The IU QB is solid....like a lot of college QB's including WVU's. Jarrett Doege leads the Big12 in passing....but he can't make that throw with good odds. The IU QB has a nice deep ball, and every thing else should be to the boundary side of the field, or routes cutting into the middle of the field. If he is going to throw to the field side, it should be a quick hook, or have him roll out to the field side.

I agree that it is partly the talent on IU's roster....but I have seen Wade play a decent amount, and he is not playing on the same level he was last year in my opinion. So much of it is mental and confidence on both sides...offensive receivers and defensive backs. Last year Wade would have convinced IU's receivers they had not shot....and he would have believed it and played like it. He is playing them this year like they do have a chance, and they are playing like they believe they have a chance.

He certainly didn't have a great day with 3 INTs. But the Hoosiers also couldn't capitalize on any of them. But IMO he's still in the running. The Buckeyes won the game vs a very good opponent (ranked #9 and undefeated). He threw for 300 yards (2 TDs) and also rushed for 78 yards and 1 TD.

Clemson's Lawrence didn't help his cause missing the last two games due to Covid, and yesterday's game vs FSU postponed. But I'd say that QB Jones (Tide) and Book (ND), as well as Wilson (BYU) are getting a serious look.

And this is not to slight Allen at all, as we are damn fortunate to have him. We can only hope that he rejects certain overtures to lure him away, just as Mallory did circa ' 88. Perhaps I'm overly optimistic in that regard, but I believe that he will.

We were really starting to roll during Grier's first year @ WVU....finally made it back into the Top 25 and Texas was coming to Morgantown. Grier drove us down the field and fumbled on the 1 yard line....and did not play for the rest of the season because he also broke his hand on that play. WVU was introduced to what a Chris Chugunov team would look like as he went on to lose the rest of the games and transfer to Ohio State. It just sucks because history will view that season as a mediocre year that the team crumbled down the stretch....when it could have been one of our better years in the Big12.

Hopefully IU has a backup that can give you a good chance in the final couple games? Btw, this is where to biggest gap is between the blue bloods and the rest of P5 teams.

This is getting weird. Purdue cancelled practice today. There’s a rumor going around they might try and have IU/OSU play again.

I would assume so but I doubt it happens.

Also, how the crap is Indiana ranked 12th in the playoff rankings? What a complete joke.

Yup.

Alabama and Indiana are the only two teams to have beaten three top 25 teams this season.

Is that ranked at the time of the game?

Cause if you are counting PSU and UM as ranked here, that’s some sleight of hand...they are awful.

They should be ranked higher but beating PSU and Michigan shouldn’t earn them an extra gold star.

Yeah, it's as of the time of the game. Agreed that tPSU and UM have turned out to be terrible, though I'd argue IU took Penn State's soul from it with the win in week 1.

It's really hard to reconcile tOSU being ranked 4th with IU being ranked 12th.
If Indiana isn't deserving of a top 10 ranking, than what exactly has tOSU done to show that it's the 4th best team in country?
If Ohio State truly is deserving of the #4 ranking, then why is losing on the road to the #4 team move Indiana down so much further than Miami(who lost by 35 to Clemson), or UGa or Iowa State who both have two losses?

I reconcile it by simply saying IU is ranked too low. That’s the error.

Of course it happens in a year when the bowl game they play in will have 0 spectators.

There's undoubtedly a residual effect in BCS rankings. Alabama, Clemson and Ohio State have a built-in advantage due to their recent successes. We can agree with it or not, but the rankings definitely belie a favoritism for the recent powers. It's almost as if they have to prove they don't belong (and I would say this especially applies to Alabama and Clemson).

Crappy season for IU to have such a great campaign. Hope it's just the first year of a new era of IU football.

I think the Hoosiers are going to be a team to contend with, will exert greater pressure within the conference, next season.

Meanwhile, if anyone awoke to tremors this morning, that was the entire state of Ohio celebrating Harbaugh's new 5 year deal with Michigan! LOL
