I draw the most confidence (for IU) from the fact the game is not at The Shoe. I really think the noise and atmosphere were too big for IU last year resulting in numerous (out of character) mistakes for a Cig team. Also, need to watch out for a repeat of the Penn State last second "shift" of their D. I thought that was supposed to be a point of emphasis for officials this year but I'm not sure I've seen it called once on the D in any game I've watched. Gotta focus on snap count because a few 5 yd penalties could actually be the difference in a game against the #1 team in the nation.
No one will glean more from last seasons matchup vs. Buckeyes than Cignetti and staff. I'll say Bostad will find a couple adjustments that give Hoosiers some running room. This staff will create advantages.
Found his new plan

I remember the announcers talking about how oregon caused us to false start a few times when they shifted at the line and how the refs weren't calling anything on them.

The D line can shift as often as they like but they can’t make sudden movements in an effort to mimic / simulate the snap of the ball. Obviously a judgment call, primarily of the umpire.
It all comes down to turnovers. Whichever team has the fewest wins.
let's hope that the O$U team is as overconfident as their fans

The entire line shifting is obviously an effort to get a false start.
I think they need to make the rule more definitive. Like you can only shift 2 players on the line at a time or something to that effect. leaving it up to refs to determine intent is a bit bogus.
Allowing the defensive line to move however they please while the oline can't move a muscle is wacky
Awesome hype video for anyone who hasn’t seen it.

I was hoping they would get Randle El involved!
But, Cinderella story? That was last year.
