All of the QBs mentioned, including Randle El, played in run first eras. And, of course, Gonso should be in the conversation. All I'm saying is that I cannot fairly judge him because I never saw him play. I can just go by the opinion of those who remember Gonso -- my Father, for one -- who believe that (A) ARE was the best IU QB and (B) Penix has a chance to be the best IU QB to suit up for the program when all is said and done.Originally Posted by redsfanmia

One thing I do know...ARE was electrifying.
This squad is legit, didn't get the W against PSU this weekend, but we were capable of pulling it off. A few odd plays/questionable calls/and a total inability to get a 3rd down stop in the 4th quarter were the difference. Very happy with the direction this team is headed. Let's pull one off against Michigan this weekend.

Pretty much sums up the game and my thoughts as well. The Hoosiers are pretty dang good.

Big win for the program...
I was surprised by the final score....I saw the score early and Indiana was up big, or am I mistaken?
How so? The Hoosiers were already Bowl eligible and this was a pretty bad Purdue team. IU was a TD favorite.
1st time with 8 wins since '93. Haven't had 9 since '67. Rarified air for IU football.

IU jumped out to a 14-0 lead...but that is as big as it was. Didn't help that the Hoosiers normally reliable kicker missed 3 FG's.

If they can get to 9, they could sneak into the back end of the top 25 to end the season.

That is what I am hoping/praying for. They are poised for a couple years of success with the current roster.

Definitely. Very young team, lot of impacts players who are fresh/sophs. Based on the Purdue game Depth Chart they started 6 seniors. Two of those were replaceable WRs.

They are stacked...barring injuries or transfers.
What's the word on Bowl destinations for the Hoosiers? Music City? Quicklane Bowl? Armed Forces Bowl?
Music City is the one I see mentioned the most. Personally I would love to play on New Year's Day.
