Neon is the antithesis of "good coach", in my uneducated opinion.

But, Is it demented implication if we all appreciate and agree? Perfect use of a fortuitously saved photo! Thank you Mr. FishDuck!

INDIANA, emphatically! 35-17 2 2 267

Hoosiers, 28-13 2 TO 3 Sacks 250 yards

Indiana 42-14 3 TO 4 Sacks 303 yards passing

We were. Terrible choice by Seaton, but we have a second shot at him.

Indiana 35-23 4 TO 3 Sacks 298 yards passing

Indy 38-13 3 TOs 4 sacks 315 passing yards

--the winner. Indiana --the score. 45 to 21 --turnovers Indiana creates. 4 --sacks Indiana records. 4 --passing yards by the Hoosiers. 365

41-27 IU 2 TO 4 sacks 285 passing

I swear I remember we were trending to land Seaton out of HS, until Deon bedazzled him at the last minute.

INDY 31-24 3 3 214

Kinda have a feeling he wants to be in Oregon.

Saw Scott play in high school several times. This is a great addition for the Ducks!

Indiana fire the win! 38-21 4 turnovers (Carson has a nightmarish day) 4 sacks (see above) 324 passing yards

I have zero stats to back this up, but it just seems to me the Ducks have always done well with Polynesian players. These guys usually seem to over perform going from high school to college ball, you know like that 3 star guy who ends up being a Heisman winning QB.

I have absolute faith in Mario: If the game is close, Mario will snatch defeat from the jaws of victory. However, I think the writing is on the wall, and Indiana comes out on top. The Duck’s misfortune started with turnovers, and with Beck at the helm, I believe they will be served up on a platter to Indiana. Miami is a good team; Cignetti has the Hoosiers playing like a great team. Indiana breaks it open in the second half: 38-21 Indiana

IU wins 56-20, Ducks are at least two point better than Miami. 4 turnovers 5 sacks 310 passing yards

Indiana 30-17 2--TOs 3 --Sacks 290 --Passing

I am rooting for Indiana, partly because I don't want Mario Cristobal to win a NC before us. Tough choice though. I also know some IU fans from my time living in Ohio (not anymore, in Maryland now). Good folks and long, long suffering fans. Give them their day in the sun. I don't see Cignetti staying at IU very long, they will most likely drift back into obscurity.

It is great fun to be able to use an image I created and saved years ago....at the right moment again. Never mind what demented implication comes from that!

National ranking, by total yards defense allowed per game - with points per game allowed added as a reference point 2025 (4) Indiana - 267 - 11.1 (11) Miami - 292 - 14.0 2024 (2) Indiana - 256 - 15.6 (27) Miami - 327 - 25.3 2023 (30) James Madison - 334 - 20.2 (24) Miami - 326 - 22.8 2022 (5) James Madison - 290 - 20.9 (65) Miami - 375 - 26.8 Coach Cig's D-coordinator in those 4 years has been Bryant Haines. He was just signed to a 3-year contract at about $3 million per season. He has been with Cig since 2014 season but chose 2022 since that is when Cristobal landed in Miami. With all the chatter around QB Mendoza, the Indiana D doesn't get enough credit.

Hello My OBD FishDuck Forum Friends! It just hit me...why not have a contest for the 'Natty since we all want the Hoosiers to win? (Well, most of us...) What is your prediction of Indiana versus Miami? Take your shot and let's have fun with it... Let's get these predictions started, and remember I look for the differential between your predicted points with both teams from the actual points. I will use the tiebreaker information when needed, so provide all the data below! Entries without ALL the information are invalid, and predictions on other threads don't count. We Have Two New Rules: If two winning scores are tied, and tiebreakers tie? The first one who posted wins, automatically. Please follow directions, as I need all that is below for tiebreakers: --the winner. --the score. --the amount of turnovers Indiana creates. --the number of sacks Indiana records on Miami. --the number of passing yards by the Hoosiers. My prediction is: Indiana 34-20 2 3 281
