Don’t think for a second that they’re not going to run the score up if they can on us…
IU looking really good again…

That’s why it’s a rivalry.
We want to emasculate them at every opportunity, and I gotta believe they aspire to do the same to Purdue.
They are no ND, but I have little doubt they saw today's score and a drooling (more than usual) at the thought of playing us.
They have one of the easiest schedules there is and we sure aren't going to make it any harder.

They did whatever they wanted vs a better defensive team than us in UCLA…
Based on what, and that’s a broad statement? Our pass coverage actually looked ok with the exception of a couple busted plays and missed tackles. Our run defense was abysmal.
IU was favored to win this game and score a lot and they did but it was the passing game that looked very very good and it opened up the run game. It’s hard to gauge our defense. On the first 4 drives we actually looked ok except made some mental errors and they just ran over us. This indiana team is the polar opposite of the ND team we faced today that manhandled us. We matchup better against them.
Some will say they deserve it but iu has an easy big ten schedule this year to go with their 3 cupcakes. Instead of usc and Oregon they got UCLA and Washington. Swapped out Penn state for northwestern. They could easily go 9-3. Put final game could br our redemption game.
They aren't that good and you are correct. Their schedule is an absolute joke. They will win some games because of that soft schedule, but they will also get beat down. Their fan base is god awful.
When you have 9 B1G games every year, and your goal is to build a winning program, it's simple pragmatism to schedule 3 winnable non-conf games. The B1G is going to test you one way or the other. There's no hiding at the end of the day.
Michigan won the national title a year after playing a weak non-conf schedule and it didn't hurt them in terms of making the playoff.

I don't pay or invest time in watching us play FCS teams. Be good enough to compete with your peers or become irrelevant.
I think it’s ironic the fans on here PO’ed about the ND game (as we all should be) totally discounts the indiana state shutout and qb mastery yet talks out the other side of their mouth to say we HAVE to play easy games like IU. So quick to discount that game, it’s really annoying to be on here, it’s like dealing with little kids.
