@@KjosephB Truth. I used to be a fan but switched to the Hoosier side (long story lol). I've always respected the rivalry. I have family and friends on both sides, mostly IU. I was always told that as a Hoosier fan to focus on the basketball instead of the football. After today I understand why my goodness. Haha. You came back and won. I hope you have fun celebrating this win. I think it's amazing that a first year coach can come back and win like this with the stakes being so high.
As a new IU fan, I don't know how Tom Allen keeps his job. If I coached like this I really think I would be gone a lot sooner. Lol. I was always advised to focus on their basketball team instead of their football. After today I'm starting to understand why.
The end of the first half drive reminds me of something I've wondered for a few mos... what happened to MockTrain? That is, I'm willing to believe he's bigger/faster/stronger than last year & I've no reason to believe his heart has gotten smaller. Is it run strategy, different blocking schemes, or maybe the called plays themselves? Maybe even a sneaky injury? Idk, just wondering.
