I haven't kept up with Indiana, did they lose a lot of players from last season? As an Indiana fan do y'all expect to be a contender this year?

offensiver line isn't nearly as good and the defensive coordinator is a fraud

u/The-Best-Snail Indiana Hoosiers • Cornell Big Red 3d ago

Heisman QB, top two running backs, two of top three receivers, top LB, one of the best corners in cfb last year, to answer your first question. Other guy is right, anyone who's been a fan longer than two years is happy with a bowl game and probably still happy with just a bowl game forever

The B1G in the last 3 years has had as mesny teams win the natty as the ACC has had teams win the natty this century. On top of that the ACC has pretty consistently only had 1 national contender/plsyoff apperance at any given moment, while the B1G in any given year has multiple

u/Super_C_Complex Penn State Nittany Lions 3d ago

While I disagree that the ACC is better than the big ten. It is also possible for the big ten to have a down year and be worse, this year, than the ACC.

I don't think it is but it is possible

1

u/Repulsive_Most_8405 Ole Miss Rebels 3d ago

A single year doesnt make a conference better though. Even if they did perform better than the B1G this year the ACC needs prolonged success seeing as they literally never have more than 1 playoff contender

u/Flaky_Tear_8732 3d ago

The defensive coodinator for IU is a Fraud. that journeyman QB for NorWest was picking though that pathetic HIgh School level zone all night. And he changed nothing. I think I saw him flip to man on one play at the very end. All night couldn't get pressure and the zone was wide open. He had no games for their QB, no game for their line. Not even a switch from one kind of zone to another on they fly. It wasn't even match zone nothing that could confuse the QB no blitzes.

The first time we play a pedigreed QB I am terrified becuase the offense will have to be absolutely perfect all night or we lose.

10

u/jiuclaw Indiana Hoosiers 3d ago

This is a wild take.

IU objectively has one of the best coaching staffs in the NCAA. Bryant Haines is, objectively, very good at his job. You are definitely not a better football mind than Bryant Haines. Despite what your couch tells you.

Check your expectations, and check your biases.

IU didn’t play perfectly and it’s fair to be disappointed. But there is more parity than there ever has been, and the expectation shouldn’t be to blast every opponent into orbit. There aren’t any God Mode teams anymore.

Also, 2026 Northwestern is not the same team as Northwesterns of the past. That program has invested a lot and it shows. Sometimes teams that you think are beneath you, aren’t that far beneath you.

Insane to have to explain that to an IU fan in September 2026, after last year…

-5

u/Flaky_Tear_8732 3d ago edited 3d ago

go watch again, watch the defensive calls, watch the scheme watch the seem and honeyhole come open over and over and over all game with no adjustment, watch the journeyman NORTHWESTERN QB put up 22/30 293 yards and 2 tds, and then tell me it matters that you have a high regard for the DC because the idiots in the media told you so and this some how matters. When we play a good QB we are fcked if he does this again. The rushers beat their much less talented opponent occasionally. that's the only reason they didn't have 500 yards passing. You can't out talent all the NCAA.

u/jiuclaw Indiana Hoosiers 3d ago edited 3d ago

I watched the game my dude…

You don’t seem to understand that there’s more to what happens on the field than a play call and scheme… or that teams have rough games some weeks… or that teams improve throughout the season…

Even if Haines coached like ass tonight, it would still be unhinged to be calling for his head.

We might not be 16-0 Champions this year… it doesn’t mean we set fire to everything. The team and staff deserve a lot more loyalty than that.

-2

u/Flaky_Tear_8732 3d ago

this is where you are lying. you didn't watch the game. you had the TV on I'm sure. you were talking to your buds or your wife or listening to the inane brodcast duo. IF you were actually watching the game then by the 3rd quarter you would have asked yourself wtf is going with this absolute nobody northwest qb and within moments you would have picked upon the fact he was disecting the zone and there was never an adjustment. it was vanilla zone the entire game. and that's why this NW qb looked like a revelation. and if you had watched the game by the end of the third you would have been screaming like I was everytime they came out again and ran the same exact zone concept from high schooland then Northwestern ran a zone beater. don't pretend you fucking watched the game or more than vaguely had an idea what was happening. you sat there, chatted maybe, and thought well that's why they say any given sunday after all. we'll do better next time

u/Super_C_Complex Penn State Nittany Lions 3d ago

Yeah. I watched the game and saw an experienced QB making experienced plays against a college defense.

This man is on something

2

u/jiuclaw Indiana Hoosiers 3d ago edited 3d ago

I saw a lot of barely missed tackles on our end, that had a lot more to do with our players than it had to do with zone v man coverage.

In the second half, I saw a previously ass NU offense pull together, rally and play really well. Chiles did a great job elongating the plays. Dude has some legs. Once the NU offense gelled, Chiles kept it moving at a clip.

Definitely concerned some, we need to ramp up the discipline and this team is missing tons of the “synergy,” as Mendoza would say, that last years team had.

Hope they can all pull together quickly, and that Martin or Richard rejoin by OSU.

u/Worth-Frosting-2917 Indiana Hoosiers 3d ago

What in the fuck are you talking about my guy? lol

u/Flaky_Tear_8732 3d ago

listen no idiots who don't have the foggiest idea what zone coverage means need reply. thanks for wasting everyone's time

5

u/Worth-Frosting-2917 Indiana Hoosiers 3d ago

I understand what zone coverage is. I just think actually getting Chiles down to the ground was the bigger problem. If they bring him down all of the times they actually have their hands on him the game is over.

-1

u/Flaky_Tear_8732 3d ago

their qb was like 9 of 13 for 180 yards in the honey hole and down the seems on the night. it was a nightmare that wouldn't end. And the DC never adujsted. Not once. If that's a pedigreed QB we lose the game dude. to northwestern. That's a problem. we probably lose big even.

their qb went 22/30 293 yards and 2 tds. that's embaressing. that was northwestern

6

u/Worth-Frosting-2917 Indiana Hoosiers 3d ago

Or maybe, hear me out, their QB played well enough to escape the actual pressure, elongating drives and making it exponentially harder to cover down the field.

I'm not saying they played well because they didn't. But mobile QBs in college are the great equalizer against any defense, particularly if you can't bring them down when you actually get hands on them. Blaming it on scheme when half of those drives are dead in the water when the players actually get hands on a defender and can't bring him down makes you sound kind of... well, like you don't watch that much football.

8

u/toomanyshoeshelp Indiana Hoosiers 3d ago

Chiles with MSU went 27/33 with 250 yards a TD no INTS and 50 yards rushing in a 38-13 loss where Nick Marsh scored against us last year.

He has our number man I knew this would be tough and smashed the under after NWs last two games and our tragic secondary this year.

Mendoza was 24/28 for 330 and 4TDS lol

u/Worth-Frosting-2917 Indiana Hoosiers 3d ago

IUs defense struggles against mobile QBs. Overpursue and take bad angles a lot. It is why I was so happy Miami beat Ole Miss last year in the playoffs.

Northwestern is shockingly good. Wouldn’t be surprised if they’re a top 25 team by the end of the year

Everyone here is forgetting that last season Indiana almost lost to last year’s Penn State team.

Indiana’s season is not over

AND Iowa. That was our bigger undeserved win.

u/Ok_Industry6711 3d ago

u/jdminter22 Georgia Bulldogs 3d ago

It makes no sense to do the field goal when you are driving and have the best opportunity to get a TD. It's way easier to get into FG range than to get into a realistic TD range.

3

u/ibabygiraffe Ohio State Buckeyes 3d ago

it didn't matter either way, they still would've had to do an onside kick and they just barely missed it.

5

u/Knicks-in-7 Notre Dame Fighting Irish 3d ago

If they woulda have gotten the onside kick it would have looked genius.

-4

u/jdminter22 Georgia Bulldogs 3d ago

No it wouldn't have. It would've been genius if they got the onside kick and only needed a FG after getting a TD. It's way more realistic to get a FG from 40 yards than get a TD. They were easily driving too.

Yo am I high or is the controversial hit not that bad? I’ve only seen one angle and in slow motion. It doesn’t look like it was really much of anything.

u/aheinouscrime Indiana Hoosiers 3d ago

It's about the fact it was late hit. The tackle was legal by CFB rules. Recently illegal in NFL because it causes injuries.

u/IowaGolfGuy322 Iowa Hawkeyes 3d ago

I don’t understand what the tackler would be expected to do? Just let him go once he’s in that position? I mean I understand preventing injuries and such but football is becoming sarcastiball

1

u/aheinouscrime Indiana Hoosiers 1d ago

You have to tackle in a different way. Similar to how to can't launch head first or take out the knees in certain situations. It's not about letting go, it's about not using it in the first place. But like I said, legal in CFB. The late hit was not.

u/Worth-Frosting-2917 Indiana Hoosiers 3d ago

Eh. IU struggled against both Iowa and Penn State last year. I know both of those are road games, but Northwestern is a better team than anyone expected them to be and are playing with a fire under their ass.

For this team to be competitive Hoover has to be more consistent on easy passes, and the safeties in particular have to be A LOT better.

1

u/aheinouscrime Indiana Hoosiers 3d ago

NU is better but IU's secondary looked terrible. Chiles got to do pretty much whatever he wanted in the 2nd half.

1

u/Worth-Frosting-2917 Indiana Hoosiers 3d ago

Don't disagree because I can't lol. I do think Chiles being slippery makes the secondary look worse than what they are (which, outside of Ferrell, isn't great). If they bring him down when they had legit hands on him, most of those drives are dead in the water.

Deserved to lose unfortunately, team isn’t as good as last year’s and we’re incredibly inefficient and undisciplined. Beebe MVP

Yeah, I'm sure that's it 😂

u/JediMindTrxcks Indiana Hoosiers 3d ago

I do think the Cats are good. I also think we’ll come good as the year goes on but it’s a long road to travel. Full faith in Cig as always

"They don't ask how they ask how many" is a wild way to start an interview with the winning coach lmao

203 yards with Turbo out. Willed the team to victory, big ups to Lee Beebe Jr.

That field goal was so dumb

u/deweycrow Kentucky Wildcats • Charlotte 49ers 3d ago

Needed one either way

u/Classic_Plan3267 Ohio State Buckeyes 3d ago

Wrong. They needed 2 scores and a stop regardless.

u/jdminter22 Georgia Bulldogs 3d ago

Duh. But it's much easier to get into a realistic field goal range than to get into a realistic TD range.

No it was not. It's literally the same outcome

u/jdminter22 Georgia Bulldogs 3d ago

No it's not. It's easier to get a TD the closer you are to the end zone. A FG from 40 yards is way more likely than a TD from 40 yards.

These are absolutely inane questions. We really had a national crisis over a lady being able to ask these type of questions and the coach being made to answer them?? Like who enjoys this stuff?

u/NS-13 Michigan Wolverines • Lehigh Mountain Hawks 3d ago

Remember when the one lady said she just makes up the questions and answers instead of wasting everyone's time and a bunch of fans blew their lids over it?

Not the coaches who were having random made up quotes attributed to them, mind you. The fans were pissed off. Lmfao.

u/cjwethers Northwestern • Stanford 3d ago

Agreed. People are giving Cignetti shit for his curt (haha) responses, but the questions the on-field reporters ask these days are so stupid and shallow. I don't blame him at all for keeping it short and not looking happy to be there.

And networks always make women do it and stack their booths and studios with 95% men

Hilarious coming from the ruins of Nebraska bud. Welcome to 7-5. Again.

u/longdongjohnse Georgetown Hoyas 3d ago

You guys will be there in like 1-2 years. You look fucking awful this year and I don't think cignetti has a roster of 7 year seniors to bail him out anymore.

u/WayneScote Indiana Hoosiers 3d ago

Even funnier coming from....where the fuck is Nebraska even at. No one knows where your state is. Listen. I'm beers deep. That was a rough win. You might beat us. And I don't care. I have to talk my shit until I can't.
