IU is in a no win situation. If they whip up on Ole Miss it's because Ole Miss isn't very good, and if IU loses to Ole Miss the "experts" will say "see we were right. I'm hoping for a big IU win. I think Tom Allen is the real deal. BTW, I saw IU play Wisconsin without Penix and then looked ok. They aren't as potent without him but they should be good enough. I hope everyone has many Christmas Blessings this Christmas Season!

All you have to know that CF is broken is look at the Bowl lineups! It's brutal! Too many give me's nowadays!

It may be spot on but it's not fair, oops, there's that word again. BTW, Ole Miss has a 4-5 record! IU deserved better! They could have given them a game against a team with a winning record, respect or no respect!

Oh my! We finally agree on something!🤓

IU was overlooked, to put it mildly, in the Bowl selection.

I believe you forgot that Notre Dame also beat Clemson on November 7th. IU was overlooked because, well they're IU I guess. IU was more deserving that some who received NY6 bids

I agree with what you say! Clemson and Alabama are in a league by themselves. Clemson will clean up on tOSU just as they did yesterday against the Irish. IMO, Clemson will win the National Championship because they play some defense.

Notre Dame had three nice drives at the beginning of the game, but only scored 3 points. The biggest play of the game was a wide open 4th down pass that Book threw behind the receiver. I'm not sure the Irish belong in the CFP's after the game today. Of course Clemson is a different team with Trevor Lawrence behind center. He's cemented his Heisman today.

Congratulations to Carson Steele. An honor well deserved! I'm sorry that most of you didn't get to see McCahill week to week against one of the toughest, if not THE toughest, schedules in the midwest! I stand by my belief that Nathan McCahill deserved the honor of Indiana Mr. Football Quarterback. I hope to see you all in August!

First of all it's good to hear from the southside PP again. It has been a long silence. It must mean that they are doing well and Cathedral is also doing well, and that's all good. I probably have attended more Indiana High School football games than anyone on this site. That and $5 will get me a Starbucks special. I have never seen one player mean so much to his team than Nathan McCaill has against such a top notch schedule. I don't have to repeat that schedule because it has been rehashed here a lot already. I'm not much on stats on a player's worthiness, I much prefer my own eyeball test. These old eyeballs have seen few QB's have a better season than Nate. His leadership has been incredible. Now it's true that I'm prejudiced and an Irish fanboy, but I've never been one to be blinded by partisanship when it comes to accolades. If a player is outstanding I like to believe I am quick to acknowledge that. I'm sure Nate is the kind of young man that treasures a championship ring more than is own personal rewards and he has that, and so does his teammates. They have those rings because of their hard work and the leadership of Nathan McCahill. Well, I shouldn't forget the leadership of our great coaching staff either. It's been a fun season and I was blessed to attend most of the games. I don't understand the vote for the Mr. Football position award for QB. There's a lot of things I don't understand but I know that there are a lot of those that voted for this award post on this site, and I would like for them to help me understand their vote or the reasoning behind theirs and other's decision. We all know life isn't always "fair" (there's that word) but there are times when we just need to know "why." I hope everyone has a very blessed Immaculate Conception Day!

I'm shocked: Indiana high school football: 2020 Mr. Football position award winners (indystar.com)

Yep!

45-21 final. Ian Book finished 30-3 as Notre Dame starting QB. No other Notre Dame QB won 30.

IU 14, Wisky 6 final! Tom Allen should be national Coach of the Year!

The wakeup is confirmed, Irish up 24-7 at half. They trailed 7-3 late in the second quarter.

No excuse at all for what that young man did! He should have to face serious assault charges! It's a shame that his teammates have to suffer the consequences of this dumb act!

Maybe the Irish alarm finally went off. They seem to have some emotion all of a sudden.

The Irish appear to be playing in mud today and the Syracuse players are almost invisible. Very poor effort! They need a big attitude adjustment at halftime or before!

I agree with you and would add Penn to the list of down but far from out!

Center Grove is ranked #14 in Max Preps and 10th in the USA Today Super 25 Cathedral is ranked 19th in Max Preps and 22nd in the USA Today Super 25 Congratulations to both! It's a feather in the cap for Indiana high school football to have two nationally ranked teams!

I also must note that the QB is not always about passing stats, it's about leadership and no one led their team better than McCahill. His coach even stated that Nate was almost like another assistant coach on the sidelines. He had a lot of intangibles that don't show on a stat sheet.

But his team came within 16.4 seconds of winning the game!
