The hell were all of them watching. Finishing 2nd behind Eric Crouch, ok. I wouldn't agree, but I could see the argument. But the next 4.....yeah, no. As to the argument over who was better, well consider this......ARE has more NFL passing TDs in the playoffs than all of them except Grossman, and even then it's only 4-1.

If the world were fair, IU would have at least one Heisman winner.

Dunbar is kind of in the same level as Tevin Coleman. Really, really good season and career, but probably weren't going to win it even if they played for someone else. Detmer and Howard both had legitimately good years in '91, and Gordon was a half step ahead of Tevin all year in '14. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd be happy to switch Neb for OSU! Regardless, I'd still be thrilled with a 7-5 season. Really anything beyond bowl eligibility is just icing on the cake. If the team is half as pumped to play this game as we all are to watch it, I sense good things in store! i can't concur with "anything beyond bowl eligibility is icing...". finishing 6-6 with a bowl loss would be a dismal failure at this point. losing 5 of the last 6 would kill all the warm and fuzzy. it would also mean a loss to purdue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty sure Anthony Thompson wound up second or close to that in the Heisman voting. Can't help but think. Had he played for any other major D-1 school, he would have come home with the trophy.

Been following IUFB since the John Pont days. In my humble opinion, AWE and The A Train are by far the most impressive players IU has ever had and it's not even close. AT had the luxury of playing on a winning team and had a great career. AWE had the misfortune of playing for the Indiana Losers. However, win or lose, AWE was the most electrifying player I have personally ever seen. I would show up just to watch him when he was playing! His play alone was worth the price of admission regardless of the final score. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't read the entire thread but minus the BS game at Washington on 2 horrible calls in 4th quarter Dorsey was leading the greatest ever collective talent college football teams ever. If it wasn't for the Washington game and BS Terry Porter call vs Ohio St.....Dorsey would have been lead qb for a team that should have won 3 straight titles. I agree with you on the others but dismissing Dorsey as some also ran is a tad off. Just my 2 cents. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steubenhoosier Posted October 26, 2019 Report Share Posted October 26, 2019 I sat in the Wisconsin stadium when AT ran over the Badger defense. My son and I were maybe the only ones cheering that day. I also took a phone call the day ARE demolished Wisconsin up at Camp Randall. At first I thought the reception on my phone was bad. Couldn’t believe what I was hearing Both were great days for the Hoosiers. Hopefully, tomorrow is as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's the double edged sword. That roster didn't need an elite QB to win. How much was Dorsey and how much was the roster? Dorsey was a pretty good QB, but you could unplug him and plug in a number of other QBs and things would stay the same. Put Patrick Ramsey or Harrington in his place and things don't change all that much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leathernecks Posted October 26, 2019 Report Share Posted October 26, 2019 From everything I've seen, most people seem pretty confident that Penix will start. Hopefully that is the case. For Nebraska, nobody really knows. Checked their message board, and saw a few people talk about how they don't really have any insiders because Frost and Co. are so tight lipped.
