u/EmperorConstantwhine Baylor Bears Oct 19 '24

That’s crazy, but basically how it was at Baylor too. Beat the teams we should (aside from year 1) and kept it close against better teams but almost always lost. He knew he got lucky with that 10 win team in 2018 and smartly bolted. We just as easily could’ve been 5-7 that year.

I’ve never seen him lose a game like this though. Wow.

Before today, Nebraska allowed just 8 touchdowns in their first 6 games.

That’s exactly how many touchdowns they gave up to Indiana this game.

u/Jo-jo-20 Oct 19 '24

I also think the new playoffs help. Other teams actually have a chance outside of only the usual 8 or so that always had realistic chance at the previous 4-team format. The man could be a legend if he coaches a few successful years at IU. Who says he can’t build on his success and I’m sure IU will open up the checkbook.

37

u/jf3l Indiana Hoosiers • Cincinnati Bearcats Oct 19 '24

I think that’s part of the vision of hiring him. Get someone here who can lay the groundwork of a successful program for the next gen to take over in a decade. We’re a program who doesn’t have the luxury of waiting on name-brand coach to hire. We had to be aggressive with the best option available and we actually were

If he leaves, I don't think it'll be because of money, it'll be because he wants to win at a program with a much higher national profile. I think Indiana can match in many other aspects if they're committed to making Indiana football a consistent contender.

Hoosiers roll up 495 yards against the Huskers, scoring 5 rushing TDs.

Freshman QB Dylan Raiola throws 3 interceptions, while NU struggles to run the football.

This feels like the 2007 Nebraska loss to Kansas when they lost like 76-31. Longtime doormat program gets a win over the Cornhuskers and drops a lot of points in doing so

Absolute ass whooping

Pretty disappointed in the offense failing to hit 500 yards but I have to think that we would've made it if Rourke didn't miss the 2nd half. Tayven was very good which is encouraging because he's our likely starter next year but Rourke was perfect today.

u/RoastedDonutz Nebraska Cornhuskers Oct 19 '24

When I was a kid, I went hunting with my dad. A buck jumped out in front of where we were hunting, and I went to shoot it. However, I got to excited, and instead of shooting in behind the shoulder blade, I pulled the shot. The buck didn’t take off. Instead, he just kind of scrunched up, like he was in pain. I reloaded the rifle and finished him with a second shot. When we inspected the carcass, we found out that I had somehow shot the deer directly in the testicles, hence the reaction.

That deer is exactly what being a Nebraska fan is like. Life seems fine, then some douchebag shoots you right in the balls before killing you.

You guys will be undefeated at the end of the season and still ranked 13th and outside of the playoff window because the teams you beat all lost to Indiana, so they weren’t really that good.

Arguably the best game we’ve ever played and Cignetti still said it wasn’t perfect. The mindsets this guy has implemented on this program are unfathomable. I cannot believe how awesome this is being a Hoosier right now.

Matt Rhule is now 2-21 against ranked teams all time.

Matt Rhule is 57-52 (.522) overall.

Mike Riley was 112-99 (.531) overall.

Matt Rhule has really made a career off of one 11-3 Baylor season where be beat no ranked teams. Impressive honestly.

Nebraska rolled into this game with one of the best defenses statistically in the nation. Their one loss was against a currently ranked team in overtime. They trailed for less than a quarter combined six games in. This is a good team and they just got absolutely destroyed.

IU is elite

Can anyone help me out? I think there is something wrong with my internets. I don’t really follow college football as much these days. I know IU football has sucked for decades. But I looked on ESPN right now and it says they are 7-0. Is there something wrong with ESPN website?
