Three & Out: Cream and Crimson Game

Three & Out: Cream and Crimson Game

Welcome to the Cream and Crimson Game edition of our Three and Out Series.  This will be a little different from our usual set up where we give our keys to victory.  Instead, we are going to give you things to watch on each side of the ball.  We will start with the offense.  Sit back and enjoy, as this will be the last of IU Football we see on the field until August.

Changes are Abundant for the Hoosiers in 2014

The 2014 Indiana Hoosier football team will have to deal with many new faces and changes. There will be new coaches on both the offensive and defensive sides of the ball as well as a new direction on special teams.  All this will surely bring about new challenges and hopefully much success. While personnel changes on the coaching staff will be a focus for Hoosier head coach Kevin Wilson, the largest focus for the Hoosiers will be adjustments on the field.

First Quarter Grades: Indiana Hoosiers Offense

First Quarter Grades: Indiana Hoosiers Offense

While we may be only three games into the season, it also happens to be the quarter mark of the 2013 slate. Isn’t it amazing how much quicker time flies when football is around?! Well, with that unfortunately being the case, we decided it was time to take a look back at the opening trio of games that the Hoosiers have played.

As opposed to doing a boring breakdown of each game, we decided to spice things up a bit and give a first quarter report card to each unit of the team. Today we are kicking things off with the offense, but don’t worry, we will be grading the defense, special teams, and even the coaches throughout the week.

Grades for the Hoosier Offense are after the jump!

Indiana Football Stock Market Report: Week Two: Navy Midshipmen

Indiana Football Stock Market Report: Week Two: Navy Midshipmen

Following Indiana’s week one win which saw them score 73 points the markets were quite bullish on Hoosiers. This week was not as kind to the Indiana Football Stock Market as a whole. There were some things to be expected, a natural regression to the mean, a considerably tougher opponent would mean less gaudy numbers. However, there were things that no one prognosticated such as the Hoosiers offense struggling in the first quarter, interesting coaching decisions and a defense that looked as if it didn’t know that Navy was going to be running the triple option.

Remember investors, it is best to buy low, so what better time than now to dive in and start diversifying your portfolio with stocks that others around the nation are shaking their head at right now. While the Hoosiers were defeated in regrettable fashion in week two, there were still some bright spots, especially on the offensive side. It surely was not the 38-point victory we witnessed in week one that was promising and turned some heads throughout the conference. We said last week that there were some very encouraging things. However, we also said that we saw some things that could go from “that didn’t look great”, to “holy crap that’s a big freakin’ problem, in the coming weeks.”

Your less than cheery Stock Market Report follows:

Throwback Thursday: 2012 Week Four: Northwestern

Welcome back to our 2012 throwback series.  This is the fourth installment of our look back at the 2012 Indiana Hoosier football season.  Today we are reviewing the Hoosiers Big Ten ten opener on the road against Northwestern.  This game was the tale of two halves, which would come to be a common theme throughout the 2012 conference slate for Indiana.  The Hoosiers had no answer for the Wildcats' do-everything star, Kain Colter.  The offensive star propelled Northwestern to a 44-29 victory, handing the Hoosiers a loss in their conference opener while dropping them to 2-2 on the year.
