"Indiana beat Michigan State 47-10. (Whoa!)" Undefeated - points scored, points allowed 9-0 Miami: 427-203 9-0 Indiana: 419-123 9-0 Oregon: 318-142 8-0 BYU: 281-157 8-0 Army: 303-90

After 8 games, Michigan top 15 rushing defense was averaging 101 yds/game allowed. Today, 9th game, 176.

Somewhat frustrating second half....but, Michigan has won 16 straight Big Ten games at home.

Was at the Illinois game and shortly after kickoff I didn't see many empty seats in person. However, early fourth quarter the student sections looked like lemmings going over a wall.

Ducks depart about 2:00 pm on Thursday. Arrive at a regional airport near Ann Arbor about 8:30 pm ET, Thursday.

Since 2004, Beavis has had 18 losses by 35 pts or more. 4 – Oregon - this year 35 3 – Cal - this year 37 3 - Washington Oregon's margin: 59, 42, 40, 35 - none were to Chip

Saban on Pat McAfee show:

Fake punt vs Michigan affects outcome...

"As long as OBD is No. 1, I don't think they will schedule us on B1G network" In 2023, Michigan and Ohio State both had the "required" B1GN games - 1 non-conference, 1 conference. They can apparently get away with not playing Fridays, but the B1GN is another matter.

Unless it has been changed, or gets changed, Cignetti's current buyout after Dec. 1 this season is $6 million. That wouldn't even make some programs blink if they want to go after him.

Of the 3 following games vs Maryland, Wisconsin, Washington the Ducks must still be scheduled for another Big Ten Network appearance per conference rules. The Idaho opener was the Ducks only appearance so far. Maryland has scheduled 3 times, 2 conference games Wisconsin has scheduled 3 times, 3 conference games - with Nov. 2 game still to be determined Washington has scheduled 4 times, 2 conference games Likely will be Maryland, and likely 12:30 or 4:30.

Lynx coach, "it was stolen." Well, you and your team had the whole overtime to steal it back. The Liberty's coach when asked about that quote in post-game said, "well, we feel like it was probably stolen from us in game four in Minneapolis."

Liberty knocks off Minnesota in overtime.

Two Ducks will play for NY Liberty in the final game of the WNBA season, and for the WNBA 2024 Championship.

Well, if the Ducks can hold together and get there.... 52 miles - Indiana to Indianapolis 125 - Illinois to Indianapolis 175 - Ohio State to Indianapolis 330 - Wisconsin to Indianapolis 500 - Penn State to Indianapolis

Indiana led 28-7 at the half. The starting QB did not play in the second half. Final score 56-7 vs Nebraska. Cignetti's first season at Indiana, coming over from James Madison. 13 players from JMU came over, and 8 of them are starting for Indiana. 2 more are on the two-deep. 1 more is the designated kick returner. James Madison was a perennial FCS power. Those 13 players could bring the expectations, playbook lingo, etc. The approach seems to be working better for Cignetti than it did Coach Prime.

Not necessarily snow, but cold and wind are the B1G conditions -especially mid-November on.

Ducks had 51 of 53 coaches contributing to the ranking. High of No. 1, low of No. 7 (we're looking at you Doctor Lanning?) Georgia had the other 2 first-place votes.

Perhaps Oregon is supposed to be an SEC team? The Ducks are ranked No. 1 in the AFCA Coaches Poll released Sunday morning. 9 - SEC 5 - Big Ten 4 - ACC 3 - Big12 plus Notre Dame (ACC?), Boise St, Army, Navy

Regarding under the radar Indiana. First year head coach Curt Cignetti had 13 players follow him from James Madison to Indiana. 8 of those 13 are starting among the 22 first-team guys, 2 others are on the two deep, and 1 of the other 3 guys is the designated kick returner. That's a pretty good culture infusion and shortens the instruction time for a new staff. His last year at JMU was 11-2 with those guys.

Indiana is leading Nebraska 56-7 and will be 7-0. Will play at Ohio State in November. Miami is up 52-38 late. Will be 7-0. Only possible loss will be in ACC Championship game.

Indiana? The University campus is 51 miles from the site of the Big Ten Championship game. Can you imagine what the environment for an opponent would be?

So far, this Big Ten season, the focus of difficulty has been on Away games. For Oregon, at Michigan and at Wisconsin remain.
