A win against Iowa would almost guarantee us a New Year's 6 bowl game. I think anything that isn't a loss should get us into a New Year's 6 bowl. Will be interesting to see where the CFP committee ranks us on Tuesday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leathernecks Posted December 13, 2020 Report Share Posted December 13, 2020 I think Covid didn't really have much say in scheduling this week's games. I think even if we weren't having issues, they wouldn't have scheduled us against Iowa. We're the only 2 teams not in the championship game that can make a decent bowl (or maybe any bowl). No sense in having us play. Then throw in our Covid issues, and it was a no brianer for the conference to schedule us against Purdue...and no brainers are what the conference does best.

IU Scott Posted December 13, 2020 Report Share Posted December 13, 2020 I am glad we will be playing Purdue because I think we have a lot better chance of beating them than Iowa. If we lose another game then there is no shot at a NY6 bowl and how Iowa is playing it would been a very hard game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If played looking forward to Purdue, but it will be tough regardless. However some of the Twitter bs from Iowa fans saying the big ten is protecting Indiana may not be accurate. I think the big ten is looking out for themselves, not Indiana. I would rather play Iowa for sure, especially since their AD is a moron. As long as we play, I honestly don’t care who tho. But Iowa fans acting like IU is ducking them and asked the big ten to not place them against each other are delusional. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just don't see us losing to anyone in the conference outside of Ohio State. I firmly believe our defense would dominate Iowa and a resounding win would force the CFP to consider us for the 4th spot if other chips in the scenario would fall in our favor.

We got the lead and we didn't try to extend it. We basically told Wisconsin to go earn some points because we aren't giving you anything, and they couldn't. Also, we should have had 21 if Marshall catches that pass. We played pretty conservative (and it was exactly what we should have done). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We've given up 1 touchdown to our last 3 teams not named OSU, and it was a garbage time touchdown. I like how Iowa beats bad teams and everyone (not just Scott) is talking about how amazing they are. We beat bad teams and the narrative is that we haven't played anybody. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beating PUke shuts Boiler up for maybe a minute. CTA wants this program to compete at the highest level.

I always liked him as the Bears head coach. He was far better than anyone the Bears have had since. I don't know what it was, but he was just bad at Illinois. Taking out last season when they had a few miracle wins, he was 11-32 there in the other 4 seasons. I do agree that he always seemed like a really good guy. I wonder if he'll look at getting back in as a defensive coach somewhere, or if he'll shoot for another head coaching job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
