Starting to look like ND paid for some refs…
No overturn on the kickoff fumble recovery (where the guy clearly didn’t have control when his foot went out of bounds) and no call on the obvious pass interference…
My thoughts concerning ND.....
--Carr sure did not look like the Heisman favorite.
--I had ND as my preseason favorite to win the NC. But, Carr's not as good as advertised, and their TBs are a huge dropoff from last years studs. WRs looked very quick but smallish....no one looked like a Becker or a Marsh physically.
--They do look like they have a top 5-6 D. Their defensive backfield is very talented.
I dunno, Alberto is playing in games and learning. He couldn’t do that here. I think he made the right move.
Alberto looked good, but Josh Hoover looked much better. Still, Alberto deserved better. That's a horrible GT team. Why no called rushing plays for Alberto? Also, don't remember any scrambling on his part. Wth?
He rolled his ankle fairly early on. I think that limited him a bit.
@hoosier-clarion I think that's a popular sentiment among IU faithful, but honestly I don't see him coming back to IU. My guess is he'll feel snubbed that he didn't get the commitment for this year and will stay at GT, or maybe.... Miami? I think Cig is very pragmatic that way and probably didn't burn any bridges, but not everyone is that way.

@mushroomgod He can give the money back and go somewhere else. I get what you're saying, but it's not like anyone forced him to go to GT
Thank you for reading Hoosier Huddle
Is it just me, or does Underwood remind anyone else of Anthony Richardson?
oklahoma looked terrible against Mishitgan! How they are ranked that high is beyond me! On the other hand Purdoo losing to Wake Forest in double OT is the funniest thing ever!
I am going to be so pissed if UM makes the playoffs because of that ridiculous call. I wondered if last week would fire them up.
Oregon was folding against Ok St., but now have the lead. Not sure if I'm glad or sad.
Michigan’s defense is legit. Oregon nasso much.
@zeke4ahs Michigan is gonna catch losses against us, O$U and Oregon while struggling with the Hawkeyes at Iowa. They'll be exposed as frauds.
I say they lose to Oregon as Oregon is losing to the same OKSt team that got beat by Tulsa.
Hope is not optimism, which expects things to turn out well, but something rooted in the conviction that there is good worth working for. - Seamus Heaney, Irish poet and likely Hoosier basketball fan.

Good start for North Texas vs UNLV. 20-3 two min left in 1H.
Lanning and the Oregon Defense looking like they both have been doubling up on training table desserts since last season was ended by IU.
The group think by media this offseason was Oregon was a Top 5 or Top 3 defense with all their d-line returners and their impressive portal haul.
That dog don't hunt.
