Throwback Thursday: Pinstripe Bowl Duke 44 Indiana 41
/
Well, it's time for the final recap of our Throwback Thursday of the summer. Today we take a look back at the Hoosiers first bowl game since 2007. The Pinstripe Bowl was special, especially being from New York, but it was ultimately the cherry on top of a season filled with close calls. This was one of the better bowl games of the 2015 season and I would not be shocked to see this in ESPNU's Top-25 Games.

This was a chance for the Hoosiers to win a bowl game for the first time since 1991 and clinch a winning season for the first time since 2007. They were on national television and could very well have had the eyeballs of the entire college football world on them.

For the first time since the 2007 season, my freshman year at IU, the Hoosiers are taking part in the postseason, in one of the most storied venues of all-time, Yankee Stadium. And while it may not be the same one that Babe Ruth, Yogi Berra , Lou Gehrig and Joe DiMaggio made famous, the stage is no less impressive.
Coach Wilson and his resilient squad enter their match up with the Duke Blue Devils in the Pinstripe Bowl on a two-game winning streak. On paper, this looks like a very even match up , the Hoosiers at 6 and 6 and the Blue Devils 7 and 5. The teams played one common opponent this season, Wake Forest, who the Indiana defeated by 7 and Duke beat by six.

It has been three-plus weeks since the Hoosiers walked off the field at Ross-Ade Stadium with a third straight bronze "I" to link to the chain on the Old Oaken Bucket and a bowl bid to fulfill. Now we know the Hoosiers next game will be on Dec. 26th at the New Yankee Stadium (Yes, it is still New Yankee Stadium) in the Pinstripe Bowl against the Duke Blue Devils from the Atlantic Coast Conference. So, let's refresh how the Hoosiers actually ended up playing in a bowl in what looks to be a balmy 60-degree New York City.
