You wanna play OSU in the elements.

That’s when they fold.

Orrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr do this for an alternate. I think this design is like kryptonite for Ryan Day.

This game is over. Hostile environment. A bunch of four and five star athletes playing with passion. It was bound to catch up with IU sooner or later. I think Ohio State will be the same kind of thorn for IU. Coaching isn't a problem, IU wins that battle easily. But overcoming all those five star kids the Buckeyes have will be one hell of a hurdle. 

[23andCounting]

Or not. That drive may have solidified the Heisman.

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW

[Irishman]

I was so caught up in the play itself and really did not hear this. But what a moment made for THE Gus Johnson. So often, I think he tries to hard to make a good play into something more. But not THIS one. 
Omar Cooper's draft stock climbs high with this game.

Wow, what a game!!! I was more nervous about this game than the Oregon game. As someone else said, Penn State has 4 and 5 star recruits throughout their roster, IU certainly doesn’t. It does show the climb IU has to make to beat an Ohio State team that is far superior to Penn State, at least in record. Truthfully, while Cig has mastered the transfer process, somehow he is going to have to recruit at a higher level on a year to year basis. Indiana is somewhere around 40 next year, which is better than we are use to, but it needs to be somewhere around the top 20 for long term stability.

Don has been through soooo many bad games, it’s great to hear him call this one.

Cooper's footwork was worthy of being like a ballet dancer, maybe even a ballet dancer would be impressed.  It was so athletic that it defied nature.  I saw him play in high school and knew he was good, but that catch just wasn't good, it was a miracle and a season saver!  It's a mark of a great team to come back under those circumstances!

Indiana 31 - Wisconsin 7, another solid win for the Hoosiers in very windy conditions. Mendoza 22-24, 299 yards and 4 TD’s, a Heisman worthy performance. Bye week to heal up and get ready for the Boilers!!!

[Sparty]

Boilers will be READY!  CHOO-CHOO!

[Coach Nowlin]

I would assume , opening line will be -27.5   oN THE ROAD.....   

[PHJIrish]

An exceptionally nice win for the Hoosiers.  Good finish.

Thinking the line will be somewhere around 24 points. Getting Sarrat back would be nice for the Hoosiers as their passing attack is lethal right now.

[Komets2727]

Heard a wild stat the other day, in his last 5 home games, Mendoza has 21 TD’s and 16 incompletions. How ridiculous is that?!

Looks like Sarratt and Kamara good to go against the Boilers.  Glad they are returning.

Drew Evans...no word, so I would guess he's out

Evans has missed the past three games after suffering an undisclosed injury at practice. Cignetti said he was expecting to be updated on Evans' injury later Monday.

"We'll know more (about Evans) today," Cignetti said. "Him and the rest of them are working hard to get back on the field."

If Indiana wins Friday to keep the Old Oaken Bucket, the Hoosiers will complete the first perfect regular season in school history, earn the program's first Big Ten championship game berth and likely lock up a playoff spot for the second straight year.

[Bash Riprock]

Probably none of the IU players on this list are 4 or 5 stars…yet delivering results. Development and hard work cannot be overlooked. 

[PHJIrish]

The Hoosiers are finally rolling after a lackluster first half.  21-3 towards the end of the 3rd.

[PHJIrish]

I miscalculated the time of the game.  IU now is up 28-3 at the end of the half.

[Komets2727]

Indiana 56 - Purdue 3, final - There is such a huge gap between these teams it is not even funny. 122-3 the last 2 years as far as points scored. Purdue fans say they made progress this year, I don’t see it. 2 wins against non D1 teams and lose every game otherwise. Time to get ready for a Big 10 title game!!!

Both wins were D1. Ball State is FBS and SIU is FCS. No Purdue fan, but played Michigan tough and blew the game against Minnesota. I do believe they were better than last season, but have a ways to go. 
 

IU’s win last night at Ross Ade was the their largest margin of victory on the road in this long series history.
