Watching 'Bama fans with their hands on their heads in disbelief, is beyond satisfying.
17-0 Indy at half. I hope Indy just keeps pouring it on.

Saban was able to acquire top level talent and develop it even with continuous turnover of coordinators while I can’t recall of a coach that has coached up and maximized his players like what I’m witnessing with Cignetti.
Nothing short of a miracle really.

I'm guessing Cignetti and crew are pretty good judges of player ability/potential. Stars and ratings be damned.

Grok says:

"The Indiana Hoosiers football team's current 2025 roster draws players from 22 different US states (plus one international player from Australia), reflecting significant geographic diversity under head coach Curt Cignetti's heavy use of the transfer portal and national recruiting.

In comparison, the Alabama Crimson Tide's 2025 roster features players from 19 different US states (plus players from three international countries: Finland, Nigeria, and Canada). Alabama has a stronger in-state emphasis (22 players from Alabama alone), followed by California (11), Texas (8), and Florida (6).

Indiana's roster is thus slightly more diverse in terms of US states represented, aligning with its rebuilding strategy that pulled talent from a broader range of regions. Alabama, as a traditional powerhouse, maintains strong regional ties in the Southeast while still recruiting nationally and internationally."

Indiana rushing plays to passing plays: 50-16

Something to think about. 407 total yards.

DeBoer automatically enters next season as sitting on the hottest seat in the P4. A man can't be secure in that job after losing like this on the heels of the the SEC Championship game debacle.
IMHO, he's already gone. Maybe not on paper, but behind the scenes, he's gotta be gone already.

Can't for the life of me figure out why they hired Forest Gump's twin brother. Guy looks absolutely clueless out there.

Saw an interview with the guy who is their ‘voice of the Hoosiers’ where he was asked the source of the sudden turnaround and success and his answer was offensive line.
The school prioritized bringing in quality big guys; big, mean, and strong. Don’t know them well enough to verify validity, but that’s what the guy said.

SEC has a bunch of mid to decent teams, but no really good ones, be a while before another SEC team wins the CFP.

That really was quite a performance. There’s no question IU is really good. However I watched them play Penn State and it was very close. I hate to say this but I think what we saw tonight was that Alabama just isn’t as good as some thought. Maybe I’m wrong. I just think Oregon and either UGA, Ole Miss or Miami will give them a much better game.

You're not wrong about Bama.

BINGO....BINGO......BINGO. Some people here have been bringing up Briles name for possible reason for success next season. But, it's Clements who we better hope produces if our offense is going to turnaround. I hope he is a good OL coach.
