Sometimes it is about more than a game. Sometimes there is more going on in a young man’s life than football. While we were arguing about quarterbacks, X’s and O’s, and why IU seemed so darn flat against Iowa, Reakwon Jones was wondering if his friends and family were alive, and if they still had a roof over their head. It turns out they didn’t. When Category 4 Hurricane Michael hit the Florida panhandle on the Wednesday leading up to the Iowa game with winds of 155 miles per hour, Jones was supposed to be getting ready for the Hawkeyes. …

As Indiana took a 21-20 lead over No. 18 Penn State late in the third quarter yesterday, Indiana fans had good reason to be excited. After a less than inspiring effort the week before against Iowa, this Hoosier football team had clearly not quit on head coach Tom Allen and this 2018 season. If that enthusiasm for the tenuous lead over the Nittany Lions was peppered with a heavy dose of apprehension, there is certainly historical justification for it. As we saw just moments later when Penn State returned the ensuing kickoff 95 yards, any such doubts were surely warranted.…

When the Hoosiers took a 21-20 lead late in the third quarter over Penn State, IU fans once again had hope. But then the wheels came off yet again. And it didn’t take long. After a 3-yard Stevie Scott touchdown run gave the Hoosiers that 2nd half lead, the Nittany Lions took the ensuing kickoff 94 yards and scored from 5-yards out on the next play. The energy inside Memorial Stadium quickly dissipated with Penn State back in front 26-21…

Indiana got a bit of a reality check last weekend against Iowa — and things don’t get any easier this Saturday. The Hoosiers find themselves on a two game losing streak for the first time this year and risk slipping back to .500 after a 4-1 start. It’s a familiar story for Indiana fans, as the brutal Big Ten East schedule strikes again. Some members of this IU team carry the memory of taking a lead into the fourth quarter against Penn State the last time the Nittany Lions visited Bloomington in 2016. Whether that provides confidence or not, the…
