Even though they lost, I love Northwestern’s clock management strategy at the end. That was brilliant, and was one yard from working

Also, while there are many other plays, how do you get a facemask penalty on 3rd and 19?

They can only do so much and it would have been a real beat down without their help.

Only prominent B1G losses this year have all been OOC road games

Really makes ya think!

Don't referee crews usually come from the visiting team's conference in OOC games?

Eh, we didn’t have anything the corporate bosses could help us with in that game.

u/midnightsbane04 Michigan • North Carolina 21d ago

I'm not sure the difference between the 11 and the 5 was enough to suddenly make Indiana lose.
