IU Football 2025

[Irishman]

Saw this earlier today. Pretty impressive. 

Ohio State and Oregon gave up a total of 25 sacks this year combined. Of the 25 sacks, 11 came against Indiana. That’s 44%. Indiana was responsible for 5/11 Ohio State sacks allowed and 6/14 Oregon sacks allowed.

The defensive line is nasty

Sadly, it looks like like lost one of their tough edges due to post game celebration in the stadium if all the buzz on social media is accurate....ugh

[Coach Nowlin]

Oh no...... Of all the things that get hurt doing.....

Yikes

Do you have a link to video that isn’t marked private?

This is just an advertisement blurb.  IIRC the story airs this Sunday, December 14th.

Sounds like starting DE Stephen Daley will miss the playoffs. Suffered an injury during post game celebrations. Lead the nation in TFL’s, is a significant loss.

But next man up just like it’s been all year, Daley became a full time starter midway through the year after Kellen Wyatt was lost for the season due to injury. Winners win, losers opt out of the pop tart bowl.

See comments about the Daley injury in the Indy Star.  

Edge rusher carted off during Big Ten title celebration. What we know

Guess now official.  Sigh. Feel really bad for the young man.

If you watched the video, he wasn’t excessively celebrating. He was slapping hands with fans who had their hands extended from the stands. Pretty rough outcome for him.

What a beautiful letter from Fernando’s mother……

Want to see this!!

This is HUGE.......Coordinators that see the level of success IU has often end up in head coaching positions in a short amount of time. One of the keys to Cignetti's success has been his ability to limit the amount of turnover on his staff.

The grass isn't always greener somewhere else. I think Cignetti's staff has a tremendous amount of respect for him and it's hard to see them anywhere else when they're being compensated seven figures. This is great, I love to see this.

Hope Mendoza wins it tonight.

Seems like an easy kid to root for.

I guess you have something special when something globally mundane as college football gets a story on the venerable 60 Minutes:

 

After all, it is big business now!
