There was a lot of sloppiness in this game but I find it hard to be upset about a road win against a B1G team that was 5-0. Nebraska is a good team but since they aren’t ranked we will still probably hear from people than we haven’t beaten anyone good, just like how it was against Northwestern.

This is, worst case scenario, the 3rd best IUFB team of my lifetime. We’ve got stuff to clean up but you won’t catch me getting pissed at this squad.

Yep... remember the days when we'd be thrilled just to be bowl eligible?

Holy fuck do I remember Akron. Was the last game I went to before the Washington game after Cignetti was hired

My freshman year in 2012 we were prepared to rush the field against freaking Ball State. Then we lost. That's what IU football was haha. I will be more than satisfied if we can just have a winning season every year.

I think they are probably quite a bit better than 2024. That schedule legitimate was Charmin soft in the regular season except Ohio State, which we lost, and we did not survive the first round of the CFP.

This team now has two quality wins in NU and UNL.
