It would be nice to realistically believe that Indiana was going to walk out of Ohio Stadium with a win.  Maybe some day.  Some losses take time to get over.  Indiana shouldn’t waste one more minute thinking about Ohio State. Head Coach Tom Allen likes to say that the next game is always the biggest game of the year.  He couldn’t be more right this week.  The game of the season truly does kick off at noon next Saturday at Memorial Stadium in Bloomington. As you know by now, when Allen took over at IU he adopted the “break through”…

For the second year in a row, Indiana was hanging around with No. 3 Ohio State into the second half.  For the second year in a row, the Buckeyes just kept coming. Indiana had a second quarter 17-14 lead, but a Buckeye wave put them in front 35-20.  After pulling back to within 35-26, a third quarter interception by IU defensive back Bryant Fitzgerald had Indiana in Buckeye territory looking to turn the game back into a one possession game.  Instead the Hoosiers were forced to punt. After forcing an OSU punt on the ensuing possession, the Hoosiers got the…

Indiana faces its toughest test of the season when it hits the road for Columbus, Ohio and the No. 3 ranked Ohio State Buckeyes.  In one of the more lopsided conference series in the country, Indiana hasn’t defeated Ohio State in 30 years, and on paper that streak appears set to continue. OSU has won their five games thus far this season by an average score of 49-19, while Indiana has had several closer contests.  Can the Hoosiers pull the stunner on the road?  Never say never, but this one looks like a major long shot. INDIANA (4-1) at No.…

Indiana hits the road on Saturday for their biggest challenge yet in the 2018 season — the No. 3 ranked Ohio State Buckeyes.  The game kicks off at 4:00 p.m. EST on Fox. As is typically the case, IU comes into this game as a major underdog.  The two programs stand on opposite ends of the college football hierarchy.  While the Buckeyes have had double-digit wins in 14 of their last 16 seasons, Indiana has never had a 10-win season in their history that dates back to 1899. The Hoosiers have had 9-win seasons twice, in 1945 and 1967. Today…

You know the routine by now. Tell anyone that you are excited about Indiana’s 4-1 start, or tell them that things are different under second year head coach Tom Allen, and the response will be something along the lines of “yeah, but.”  And frankly, it is hard to argue with that response. In each of the last five seasons, Indiana has started the first five games with a record above .500.  They haven’t won more than three of the last seven the rest of the way in any of those seasons — and they only reached three wins once. Of…
