Posted October 19, 2024Oct 19 Administrator We do NOT discuss last night's Oregon game here, as we had a separate GameDay thread for our game, but all the other games out there in CFB in this thread. (I will delete posts about the Oregon game, as we need to keep the discussions separate) Do provide score updates for these other CFB games when you can, as well as your thoughts of what you saw. A full day of DANDY games! Mr. FishDuck
October 19, 2024Oct 19 Author Administrator I am watching Indiana vs. Nebraska today because the Hoosiers have a great offense, and because if they beat Ohio State in the 'Shoe later--Indiana could be in the B1G Championship game! Mr. FishDuck
October 19, 2024Oct 19 Fun game to watch today is Michigan at Illinois. OBD opponents the next two weeks face off at 12:30 on CBS. Michigan is favored by 3 points. Massey composite ratings have Michigan at #25, and Illinois at #36.
October 19, 2024Oct 19 Wow... UCLA is leading Rutgers 7-0 in the first quarter. Exciting times for Bruins fans!
October 19, 2024Oct 19 Moderator It's supposed to be that a tough defense will slow down a great offense, Indiana's offense has been great, but Nebraska's D is the best that Indiana has faced this season. Indy goes for it on 4th & 2 , gets it and TD on the next play, the first rushing TD Nebraska has allowed this season. Edited October 19, 2024Oct 19 by 30Duck
October 19, 2024Oct 19 Moderator The Fighting Mario's just gave up a 43 yard TD run and trail 3-7 in the 1st qtr.
October 19, 2024Oct 19 Moderator Nebraska gets a very crucial 1st down to avoid punting from inside their own 5. But now they punt from the 12. If Indiana goes up 14-0 in the first 10 minutes...

October 19, 2024Oct 19 Moderator Well, Indiana tries it again on 4th & 2, this time Nebraska sacks the QB for a yard loss.
October 19, 2024Oct 19 Moderator No field goals allowed in Nebraska @ Indiana, Indy is 50-50 0n 4th &2, Nebraska just went for it on 4th & 2, Dowdell fumbled, but was short anyway. Edited October 19, 2024Oct 19 by 30Duck
October 19, 2024Oct 19 Moderator Talk about a surprise. Last year Indy was 3-9. This year, new team, new coach, now they're 6-0, with one of the best scoring offenses in the country. Now it's 28-7 Indiana.
October 19, 2024Oct 19 Nebraska is the classic B1G team that gets accolades for their defense, because they play a bunch of teams with no offense. Their D is a bit above average, as Indiana is showing with their great offense. And of course Nebraska with it's B1G offense, is completely incapable of keeping up, even if Raiola was fully healthy.

October 19, 2024Oct 19 Moderator Louisville recovers a Miami fumble, another TD pass for Shough, 31-31.
October 19, 2024Oct 19 Indiana with the backups in now, got a turnover on downs, and drove for a score. They are beating Nebraska worse than we beat Purdue.

Not going to lie... That sort of thing has me nervous. Is Indiana better than the Ducks? They don't play head to head... But we'll get an idea when they play Ohio State. I still feel like we leave too many points on the field.
October 19, 2024Oct 19 Moderator Holy Hoosiers! 349 1st half yards against a statistically sound pregame D. Now, 49-7. 11/23 in Columbus could be very interesting. Indiana will be favored in every game on the rest of the schedule with the exception, perhaps, of the game in Columbus. Cignetti is doing this like Prime in 2023 but with far, far better results. I love Danno but Cig is the COY, to date.

October 19, 2024Oct 19 Indiana only has cupcakes, and mediocre Michigan then Ohio State. I think you have to finish 11-1 or better to make the B1G championship this year. It's realistically down to us, Ohio State, Penn State and Indiana now.
October 19, 2024Oct 19 Moderator Guess what? Call on the field is fumble. It was recovered by Louisville and returned for a touchdown. Call was overruled on review.

October 19, 2024Oct 19 Moderator Miami will likely play Clemson in the ACC championship game. The ACC refs are going to be torn about who to cheat for in that one.
October 19, 2024Oct 19 Moderator Yes, Miami is at it again, and Indiana should definitely be ranked higher than No.16. There's a great topic to discuss how they compare to the Ducks and Ohio State and how te season will play out here Edited October 19, 2024Oct 19 by 30Duck

October 19, 2024Oct 19 Moderator Illinois is dressed in Red Grange era uniforms, while Michigan continues to play like it's 1920. The Wolverines did attempt a forward pass in the last drive. Illinois leads, 3-0.

October 19, 2024Oct 19 Moderator Illinois could have put the dagger in Michigan with that field goal, now lead, 6-0. Edited October 19, 2024Oct 19 by 30Duck
October 19, 2024Oct 19 Moderator Alabama scores first, leads Tennessee, 7-0 after a scoreless 1st quarter.
October 19, 2024Oct 19 Moderator I’m going to be in the minority here, but Illinois’ uniforms are the best I’ve seen this year. The helmet makes the difference.
October 19, 2024Oct 19 Moderator Reminder. This thread is not for discussion about last night‘s game against Purdue.
October 19, 2024Oct 19 Moderator A defensive battle is the last thing I expected for this Tennessee/Alabama game.
