HUGE win on so many levels….

My only complaint is why we don't return a punt where the closest tackler is 15 yards away.
The way they kept kicking low rolling punts I believed they told the kicker to do that on purpose because their scouting showed we never pick it up. I know it can be risky but they should tell Dremel to stay with it and if it takes a big favorable bounce to grab it and go.

If we go winless the rest of the season, and the games are not close…

It's generally the young, dumb guys on here that attack Shiano and always think the "solution " to losing a game is to fire someone .
I’m in my mid 40s, having had season tickets for 20 years and would consider myself pretty knowledgeable re football

It’s not losing 1 game
It’s consistently losing games we shouldn’t lose, due to stubbornness and refusing ti adapt

It’s also about becoming consistent elite
Which I believe we have the potential to do

Distribution

Couple of thoughts…

Martini is going to play minutes at the 5. Especially vs smaller teams. He’s going to get starter minutes between 4-5 spots.

PJ is going to play a lot. I see him being the 6th man. He brings energy and shot making off the bench.

Pike is going to rely on Derkack as a defensive stopper.

Late season 8 man rotation
Dylan
Ace
Martini
Sommerville
JWill
PJ
Derkack
Acuff

I think Davis finds a way on the court but it will take someone taking a step back.
Substitute JMike for Acuff and you’ve got it.

Michigan needs a TD now but I don’t know why IU didn’t bleed more clock. They have plenty of time….essentially 4 timeouts they have

20-15 IU
^^^^THIS!!!^^^^

Me and everyone around us was saying the same thing. After the UM “injury” to stop the clock, saving their TO’s, the play clock was re-set to 40 as it should be and game clock re-started. Rourke could have let another 25 seconds run off…very strange.

Was at this game so will re-watch, but what is interesting and the talking heads don’t know since IU was bad last year, was that LAST season, in ‘23, the IU starting D was also made up of 10 of 11 transfers…albeit 10, DIFFERENT transfers this season. Most of last season’s guys who transferred in left when Allen got fired.

Crazy times in college football with all this unlimited movement.
Your top player or receiver Donoven McCulley went into the portal last year right? And he ended up coming back to IU instead and is back in the portal now because he's not a big contributor and getting much playing time.

Transfers can be helpful but it take good identification and some luck too. It's not a guarantee that it will work every year, take a look at FSU and the transfer jackpot last year compared to this year. They're not unusual in that respect either.

As of now it's BYU and Colorado in the B12 title game. Colorado has a doable schedule with a struggling Utah offense and Ok St. Kansas could actually be the tricky one. Good win over ISU yesterday and every single game they lost this year has been less than a score.

Dockery passed on an interesting comment broadcasting the Indiansa Mich game. 10 out of 11 Indiana defensive starters transferred

BYU wins the holy war on a last second FG to win it 22-21 and remain undefeated. Controversial holding call on Utah on 4th down which would have sealed the game, kept the game winning FG drive alive. BYU still had to finish the drive but that was a cheap holding call when I see the replay of it. But I'd say BYU also got a phantom facemask call in the first half which turned a sack to a first down and kept a drive for Utah alive which ended up as TD for them. Mark Harlan the Utah AD made some scathing comments after the game.
