Take away Indiana's 4 big plays and it might have been a shutout.

Make our FG and it's tied.

One call going our way instead of Indiana's and we might win.

Scott Frost taught me that a loss is a loss, but man it's hard to not look at our decade of suck and then this game and feel like we have made some major progress. 

Edit: some of you guys need to read my last sentence again....

Edit 2: Jesus you guys. The second half of the post is the important part. We lost. Indiana took advantage of our mistakes in a way that only good teams can do. We lost. It doesn't change the fact that we looked like a real football team against a very well coached football team that won the natty last year.

A lot of those were close because the other team fucked up, but read my last sentence again
