Won't be watching since it isn't Iowa. But I will be cheering for Oregon to win.

Indiana’s getting too big and I’d love to see them get a reality check and take an L here.

Also, we had >50% win probabilities against both these teams with only a couple minutes left and just want to mention that.

Dont really care. Both have good money to invest.

Oregon offensively can stay with Miami. Not sure they can stop them.

The big is still kinda slow. Iowa would not have belonged.
Not sure what the heck your watching. Iowa SHUT down both Indiana and Oregons high powered offenses, and was right there to win both games. Held them both way under half they're normal output. You know Indiana the team that hung around 60 on Illinois, and crushed Bama.

Pick6 right out of the gate for the Hoosiers.


But I've seen games like this before. GREAT start, but doesn't mean the finish is automatically determined.

Still pisses me off that straight arms with hands on defenders facemask isn't called a facemask penalty on the ball carrier, especially when its maintained from the point of contact until the play is whistled dead.

Indiana is now doing what Oregon has always done since NIL started.

Buying the best available players with a lot more money than the average.

Ye. Should be hands to the face just like if a defender did it.

Td Oregon!
Sorry, as much as lanning is a punk, still am too jealous of IU new-found fb success and their mob of fair-weather fans who have come outta the woodwork.

Can't stomach cignettis arrogance and we do compete with IU for football recruits..screw' em.

To be fair, when has IU football been worth following before last season?

You'd see this anywhere else in the same type of situation.

I'd cool with a 45-42 game.

Defense and lots of punting is only tolerable when Iowa is playing.

When penix was a frosh they had a strong season.
They are a BB school.
Iowa had strong attendance thru out a 19 year non- winning stretch...Iowa is a FB school.
Stay in your lane,Hoosiers.

36 touchdown passes?!? WTF!? Doesn't Cignetti know the ONLY way to win as a non-blue blood is to run the ball, play good defense and win the battle of field position...and that you cannot have a good defense if you also have an explosive offense. Jeez man...c'mon. Get with it!
IU runs 55%of plays.
Oregon runs a lot.
Miami runs the ball a whole lot.

Run the ball,stop the run...pathway to titles.

His point is well taken though, and Ol' Doodle said it earlier this year as well. The fact that IU, of all programs, has in 2 years solved the science that has baffled Iowa for decades is more than just a little galling.

As unsavory as Oregon is as a football program, we should be loath to celebrate finding ourselves looking up (potentially for a long time) at Indiana.........in FOOTBALL.

Was the Oregon defender truly hitting the o-lineman below the waist? Bad call,imo.
Looked at replay..the Oregon dback actually made initial contact with IU lineman's helmet and never touched him below waist. BS call.

Cignetti won't be at Indiana for long.
