Think we could beat Indiana?

I’m not really sure. His father (Frank Sr) started his coaching career at Leechburg High School near Pittsburgh. Perhaps that is where Curt played his high school football. His younger brother (Frank Jr) attended high school in Indiana, Pa where his father was a coach as well.
I simply disagree 🤷
I should add that many variables factor into how good a team actually is.
Yeah this is a ridiculous post. C'mon get a grip. Indiana could very well beat us but your negativity is absolutely insane. So how are Wisky and Minny beating us? I guess their offensive juggernaut machines will just steamroll our pathetic defense.
Let’s see how they do now that their hand-picked free agent qb is out indefinitely. Perhaps Coach Genius will turn into a pumpkin.
Wow, someone who actually believes the transitive property is real in college football. Lmao.
Apparently Indiana's QB got hurt this past w/e and is out indefinitely. Indiana hasn't played a ranked team yet and is entering the hardest portion of their schedule... not a good time to lose your starting QB.
It’s a terrible time to lose him. But the times I’ve seen their back up QB (Jackson) play I’ve been impressed. I watched Indiana’s spring game and I thought Jackson out played their starter Rourke. But Cignetti values past production a lot and Rourke has had a lot of it. I am very interested to see Jackson start against Washington. It may well determine whether Cignetti thinks he needs to go the portal route or not for a starter in the future.
Extremely well coached, very efficient, also well prepared for each team they play.
Jackson was not good last year. I guess he played well in the 2nd half vs Nebraska but what I don't know about that performance is whether it was more a function of significant improvement or Nebraska had thrown in the towel at that point. Cignetti is a good coach so I will be interested to see how much he has coached up Jackson. Like I said he was poor last year. Who was Indiana's coach again last year? Right, what happened to him? Just keep Allen on the defensive side of the ball, he has more than enough to focus on there.
Indiana has gotten a lot of breaks on their schedule. Yes, they have to go to OSU but their other B10 road games are UCLA, NW and MSU. Not exactly a brutal stretch.
With Rourke out it now makes this Washington game on Sat and this Michigan game more interesting.
Perhaps, but the Nebraska game looked like pretty much like every other game they played.
Agreed, and sometimes a team ( Nebraska) looks bad because the other team makes them look bad. Credit to Indy for that.
I'll be able to judge better after I see how badly OSU beats Nebraska this week. Nebraska came into the IU game with a very good defense statistically, but we all know that statistics often are misleading. Like with most things, their performance against IU probably was a combination of IU just having a once in a generation offense and Nebraska just being totally overrated. Based on IU's offensive output in basically every game this season, when healthy, they probably would be able to score in the 20s even against OSU, especially after I saw Oregon pass all over them.
Also regarding Nebraska, Raiola's performance has fallen off of a cliff in recent weeks, so their offense posed no issues for IU and never had any chance to maybe take them out of their game plan.
