Ohio State Skill Players vs. Indiana’s Back Seven

The Indiana Hoosiers have been oh, so close to beating the Buckeyes for the better part of the last decade, but have yet to get over the hill. Many times, that has been because of the superior speed and depth from the Ohio State skill players compared to the Indiana defense. This year the Hoosiers have built some depth, albeit still young. However, these young players have plenty of playing experience.

2019 Bowl Projections – Week Two

Written by: TJ Inman (@TJHoosierHuddle)

Keep in mind, there are contracts with these bowl games and just because a team finishes third in a conference does not mean they automatically get the conference’s third bowl slot. I will update these projections each week as game results impact things. We are an IU-centric site so I am only listing games that involved Big Ten squads. With no further delay, here is the first crack of the 2019 bowl projections:

Hoosiers Offense Exploded for 52 Points in Win over EIU

Written by Evan McShane

Indiana broke a school record for largest margin of victory at Memorial Stadium with a 52-0 beatdown of Eastern Illinois. It was the largest shutout win in 75 years, when Indiana defeated Nebraska 54-0 in 1944. As with most blowouts, the Hoosiers were able to utilize the new transfer rules (allowing a player to appear in four collegiate games and still retain redshirt status). Indiana was able to get their young players some playing time. All three quarterbacks played significant minutes, eight different running backs carried the ball, and a whopping 12 different wide receivers made at least one catch, with 10 guys catching more than one pass. Saturday’s game was exactly what you want to see as an Indiana football fan.
