A Shout Out to my Hoosiers

[GASabresIUFan]

As many of you know I'm a UGA fan, but I'm also an IU Alum and am really impressed with Curt Cignetti and the job he's done with the Hoosiers.  I was a student during the good Bill Mallory years, but Cignetti has done what Mallory could never do and make IU competitive with the top teams in the BIg 10.

 

Today's beatdown of No. 9 Illinois was as impressive a win by a Hoosier team that I can remember.  The 63 points was the most a Big 10 team has ever scored over a top 10 ranked squad.  

 

Now go beat Iowa on the road.

Wanted to mention that Herbstreit, Howard and Saban all picked Ill to win.  Said they'd out physical the Hoosiers.  How could Saban pick against his old asst Cignetti?

How was Illinois in the top 10? Stop ranking teams before like week 5

Not taking anything away from IU

No rankings until week 5 makes a lot of sense. Preseason rankings set narratives that are hard to rewrite with results. But yeah, Hoo, Hoo, Hoo, Hoosiers! (I went to grad school at IU and lived in Bloomington from 1998 until 2007).

The committee put them in the top 10 cause of Altmyer.......you'll seem them quickly drop out of the 25 soon.

I must admit that coming into the season I thought that they were imposters. The truth is that they are very good. The QB looks to be special.

I agree.  Indiana is playing good football.  Smart of them to extend Cignetti.  I'm a Penn State alum and could not have been more disappointed in their season.  I knew when Pribula left for Missouri, the offense would stumble.  Allar is not that good.  He's not mentally tough.  Sad to see his season end the way it did.  I'm not surprised they canned Franklin.  Hopefully, Indiana can give OSU a run for the conference.
