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…

Over the last couple days you may have heard about the college basketball corruption trial that began on Tuesday. Jim Gatto, a former Adidas executive, is on trial along with sports business manager Christian Dawkins and former amateur league coach Merl Code for funneling money provided by Gatto to the families of top recruits in exchange for their commitment to Adidas-sponsored schools. If you are like most people, you probably squirm a bit whenever you hear Indiana connected in any way to this and the rest of the seemingly endless array of college basketball scandals. That’s why when this news broke yesterday,…

Indiana Head Coach Tom Allen broke some news on his weekly teleconference on Tuesday.  IU sophomore running back Morgan Ellison has returned to practicing with the team, but, the Ohio native remains suspended indefinitely. “The bottom line is that he’s been allowed to be with our team recently,” Allen said during the teleconference. “We still have no answer for his game opportunities, but he’s been allowed to be around us on a consistent basis now, which has helped. But we still don’t know the long-term future yet.” Ellison was suspended indefinitely in August according to an IU athletics release. It…

(Updated for Meyer’s comments during the Big Ten coaches teleconference) Just mentioning the name Urban Meyer these days elicits strong opinions.  He is undeniably one of the best college football coaches today, if not all-time.  He has the 2018 Buckeyes right where he’s had them virtually every year, and where he had Florida virtually every year before that — in the heart of the national title hunt. As you know all too well by now, this past offseason was about much more than coaching football for Urban Meyer. We’re not even going to dip our toe into the intricacies of…
