IU / ND Game Thread (if there isn't already one...)
- Thread starter GregInPitt
- Start date
Indiana played scared the entire first half. Let's see if they show some sack.
Well tomorrow is going to be worse: forecast 26 at kick...with a NW wind of 15-20 MPH...bringing wind chill to 15. Big-time impact on the game.
As for this game, the Irish are in control. Indiana may keep it respectable as both teams are playing conservatively on offense but based on how things have gone in the 1st half, no way does Notre Dame lose this game.
If IU doesn't get a three & out after the half this game will be a blowout. IU has to stop NDs run game and force Leoard to remain in the pocket throw.
As Coach Saban said, IU will have to open it up.
Desmond looked more ridiculous than this kid.Desmond at halftime
I agree. IU can't give up a score to open this half. A quick ND out would be nice.
Leonard really hurt them that last drive running.
If Desmond falls down will he need help getting up like Randy?Desmond at halftime
I haven't watched the game yet, but I will in the 2nd half. Based on the comments here IU doesn't stand a chance, but I hope the Hoosiers can pull it together. I'd love to see them beat the Domers. With that said, even if Indiana gets dominated Bama did not deserve to get in.
Most of us are rooting for Indiana--I just don't think it makes a difference
Alabama and South Carolina should have been IMO over SMU and Indiana
Teams need to be penalized for not playing anyone
But it's year 1--we'll see how things evolve
Good stop after the long kick return. I think we'd kill both of these teams
Indiana got the 3 and out. But the kick return killed their field position.
IU is going to need some turnovers to win this one. Doubt they're going to have sustained drives.

Ha! Ha!
Rourke looking like a statue back there. Sacked inside the 10. Not what they need. Might need to put in the back up who is more mobile.
I just looked at Indiana’s schedule/results and really only watched their games vs OSU and tonight. They have a nice team but definitely not in the top tier of conference.
I have trouble feeling to sorry for IU, because their coach has done so much chirping since he got there. They are just plain getting killed.
Lack of discipline right there--Cignetti's arguing out of desperation--go yelled at the kid that messed up
This game is over. That was a boneheaded hit by Carpenter on Leonard out of bounds.
looks like Cig was yelling "why" to the player that pushed the QB OOB
replay seemed to show a stupid push

Neither of these teams scare me. In fact, I think we beat ND by double digits, they are slow.
So dumb, and I hope our own defense cleans that up for the playoffs.
Curt should just pull his team off the field at this point instead of embarrassing themselves with this cupcake attitude.
Two thoughts:
- The bad tackling angles are the fallout of playing a weak schedule. When you are accustomed to going against better athletes you will take a better angle.
- I hope our guys are watching this game and seeing once again how stupid penalties can ruin your season. That late hit out of bounds was unbelievable. Cignetti was screaming WHY? WHY? over and over again. Brain dead football.
Indiana also stinks though. They don’t get that easy of a schedule and this team is 8-4 or 7-5.
ND saw it on film too. They are being bland on both O and D because they know they have the advantage at almost every position. What’s the longest pass they’ve even attempted.
Same could be said about SMU though
A few teams this year took advantage of pathetic schedules to get into the playoff--ND too
