If 2019 Was it For Peyton Ramsey at IU, He Leaves Bloomington a Hoosier Football Hero

January 31, 2020/ Hoosier Huddle

Written by Sammy Jacobs (@Hoosier_Huddle

Earlier this week, Indiana quarterback Peyton Ramsey enter the NCAA Transfer Portal and while he can pull his name out of the portal at any time, odds are that Ramesy has played his last game as a Hoosier. If that is the case, he leaves a true Hoosier football hero. Batman said in The Dark Knight that “You either die a hero, or you live long enough to see yourself become the villain.” While Ramsey is not passing on to another plain, he very well be moving on to another college football team, and he unlike the vilified Batman at the end of A Dark Knight, leaves Indiana as a hero. He was not chased out of town, instead he leaves on his own accord.

TaxSlayer Gator Bowl Wrap and Reaction: Tennessee 23 Indiana 22

January 05, 2020/ Hoosier Huddle

Written by Sammy Jacobs (@Hoosier_Huddle)

Opponent: Tennessee Volunteers

Location: Thursday, January 2, 2020

Why They Played: The Hoosiers and Volunteers were selected to play in the TaxSlayer Gator Bowl. It was their second all-time meeting on the gridiron.

What The Game Meant: The game was a chance for the Hoosiers to cap of a fantastic season with a ninth win (that would match the program high), a win over an SEC team and end a 28-year bowl victory drought. However, none of those things happened and unfortunately, some fans will only remember the 2019 season for IU blowing a 22-9 late lead.
