No Joey Galloway, Kurtis Rourke Won’t Sit vs. Ohio State

I can’t believe I have to say this, but no, IU will not be sitting their star QB for their top-5 matchup against Ohio State this Saturday. Yet this was ESPN pundit Joey Galloway’s take on Tuesday’s CFP show. Galloway said, “If I’m Indiana, I don’t know if I’m playing Rourke against Ohio State…What could keep Indiana out of this? Getting their quarterback hurt.” At the same time that Galloway was floating this contender for worst take of the year, Kurtis Rourke was speaking to the media in Bloomington, excited at the opportunity of a top-5 matchup.

A Look at Curt Cignetti's Teams Results After a Bye Week

Written by: Nate Comp (@NathanComp1)

You often hear in football that certain coaches are just harder to go up against after they have had a bye week. Whether it is getting their guys extra rest, having more time to scout the opponent, or adding new tricks to their own playbook, some coaches just seem to have an advantage when given extra time to prepare. Nick Saban was a common example of this theory; back in the BCS days, when given so much time to prepare between the conference championship and national championship games, he simply was more difficult to go up against after all the extra time to prepare.

The Hoosiers needed a big play. With 5:33 left in the 4th quarter, Indiana was nursing a 17-15 lead over the Michigan Wolverines. The usually red-hot Hoosier offense had fallen stagnant in the second half, allowing the Wolverines to score 12 unanswered points, cutting the IU lead to just two. To make matters worse, starting punt returner Myles Price had left the game with an injury and did not return. The Hoosiers were in need of a spark. Enter Ke’Shawn Williams.
