C'mon....sometimes watching a game on TV gives one much better perspective than sitting in the stands...especially if replay is available. To say the only way one can comment is to be there is kind of silly. I am going to the IU vs Illinois game Saturday night....can't imagine telling someone watching on TV that they are not in a position to comment on the game.

Agree 100%. Looks like USC just climbed into the top 25, and is currently the only ranked game on the schedule at this time. Helps to have the Trojans at home. But there is also a number of tough trip up games to include Syracuse (also at home), Arkansas, (tough road game) and BC. (an interesting road game...Catholic Bowl) The game against Navy could also be interesting this year. Freeman and staff will need to be at their best.

I agree competitive...I wasn't there but watched it on the tube. Just not sure I agree that it was "all they could handle". First half was very competitive....2nd half not as much. When a team masses over 500 total yds and you see the running yardage totals, would seem to indicate CG won the LOS. This is not a slight at Carroll....very solid team. Also, its the 2nd game of the season for both teams. Guessing both coaches are hoping that neither team is playing their best football.

Didn't CG win by 11 at Carroll? You make it sound like the game came down to the wire..... The game was 35-17 until Carroll had a big pass play late for a TD. CG had over 500 yds of offense. Yes, Carroll is good, and they played the Trojans tough the first half, but CG wore then down and opened it up in the 2nd half.

Danny Dimes is an interesting case study. Prior to the Colts, his lifetime stats mirror Trevor Lawrence. But Jones got peppered, perhaps by a much bigger and more aggressive media. Systems have a huge impact...Jones now has a line, has receiver options, along with a running game. Can't underestimate Steichen's influence on the offense. So far, Jones is flourishing. (obviously he will have some bad days) Jones and AR play in the exact system...one with experience is playing well....one has historically struggled with reads and accuracy. Will that change? Maybe? Maybe not. I agree there is still an open book for AR. But not as open as it was a couple years ago.

I hear ya....maybe one day Loveland with be #1 on the depth chart. Nice props for Danny Dimes as well!! Good start so far for Warren https://sumersports.com/players/tight-end/

Coach defending his team and their leadership....love the passion!!

It’s early, but at this point certainly agree….

Agree....Temp, always a good read.

Special teams played a big part with 2 of the TD's and Giants never quit. Giants had a kickoff return for a TD. CG will learn from this game. CG also lost 2 outstanding offensive players during the week prior due to injury...still hung 63 on the board. I believe his reference was to the onside kick.

Agreed....Vandy is pretty darn good though...impressive win by the Commodores in Columbia, SC. That was a smackdown!

Couldn't help noticing the whuppin' Old Dominion laid down on Va Tech this weekend. Perhaps it makes the Hoosiers opening win look a tad better......

that's on the head coach...its his job to staff his team. Will be interesting to see if it improves and it should against the upcoming schedule. In fairness, 2 tough games to start off the season and they both came down to the wire.

Oh I agree it was a penalty...but glad official didn't swallow his whistle....

the play calls at the end were interesting with the entire Denver D in the box.....very fortunate on the single flag at the end of the game

will be interesting Sunday...can Daniel Jones remain consistent. Much tougher defense with Denver. But the Broncos had to work hard to overcome a Titans team last week at home. Definitely a winnable game. Go Colts! BTW, Tyler Warren is a beast....thank you Bears!!!!

Unfortunately, I don't think the Big 10 and CFB gives a hoot about high school football scheduling, let along the matchup of Bloom South and Bloom North, and also TH South and TH North (also occurred last night) impacking attendance. I as at the IU game last night...actually, the attendance was better than I expected for a friday night game against an opponent in which the home team was favored by 48. (beat the spread easily)

I don't feel so bad anymore.....wowsa!!

Ran out of funds and had to save money on the paint??? 😁

just laid 63 on Ben Davis....the Trojans must really be bad. 😉 That was after losing 2 key offensive players for the season in the last week.

thank you DK and IGD team. Donation just made!!

back in the day, Lawrence Township, Southport and Perry had teams in the IEFA. Also, for years Northwest had an IEFA team. Is this a fairly recent change?

I don't know....in 39 years of the largest class of state football, HCC has won 2 titles......not a huge sample size. I think Carmel and CG would absolutely consider moving back into the MIC if invited...while attendance for football was a factor, it was really about the other sports that drove them looking outside. Given the challenges of finding games, I think the MIC would absolutely be a major option for both schools, and if they return, MIC moves back to the top. They would have the big 4 plus LN...as Coach Mallory has really led that program.

I feel you Irish! Are you talking about losing the 3-0 lead late in the game Sat against the O's, falling 4-3?
