@hoosiers94 what would you like me to say? People are free to feel however they want.
Thank you for reading Hoosier Huddle
It was the third game of the season for a team that probably still has a championship hangover. Not the twelfth. Issues can be fixed, attitudes can be adjusted, and players can get healthier (or less). Relax. Nebraska will be a challenge.
Thanks for the info. By comments on here I thought we'd forfeited the last 8.

Might as well forfeit the rest of the season, fire the staff and move on while we can.

A big moment of the game was the 3rd and 13 with about 10:40 remaining in the 3rd quarter. Chiles looked as if he'd be dropped for a big loss but instead converts a first down. After that play the Indiana defense seemed to have lost its composure and struggled to finish the game. Who knows? Perhaps by the end of the season Northwestern turns out to be a top 25 team.

Yea, we just couldn't get up by three scores and get that downhill momentum we're used to seeing from last year.
NW is 28 in FPI right now. If they can beat PSU next week and stay in the 20's FPI this season... that's a solid team. Of course we wanted to play better and I think most of IU's issues are IU, but if they aren't pushover that explains some of it.
that's a solid team.
That was the first time I saw them this season. Shades of some of those Barnett teams. They're well coached, despite some late penalties. I think they've got a good guy at the helm if they can keep him.

They may be able to. They have a lot of money -- though they haven't directed as much into NIL yet. They could, it's not like Pat Ryan is ever going to run out of money. Also their facilities are very nice. I suppose recruiting is a little tricky with admissions but that's not the end of the world.
There is a lot of potential there.

Chip Kelly is still an elite offensive mind, something people seem to forget.

I can’t see Chip staying there long term though.
@tammany Ryan Field is gorgeous. We'll have to see if it provides an advantage to a fired up Wildcat team that will host Penn State next Friday (October 2.) Could well be the upset special of the coming college football week.
