Coming into the first round of the College Football Playoff, the Indiana offense was averaging 426.4 yards per game and a whopping 41.3 points per game. On a cold night in South Bend, the Hoosiers looked to keep this success going. Unfortunately for IU, the offense was uncharacteristically out of rhythm. In the first half, the Hoosiers had four drives reach Notre Dame territory, only to come away with three points, as three punts and an interception stalled many of their promising drives.

All eyes will be on South Bend this Friday where the #10 Indiana Hoosiers will take on #7 Notre Dame. This is the first CFP matchup ever between two schools in the same state, and the hype surrounding “The Battle For Indiana” has been building to a fever pitch.

True to their motto, this Indiana team is not daunted by the hype but rather eager to solidify their place as an emerging power with a victory.

The week has finally arrived leading up into the Hoosiers first College Football Playoff appearance. After stomping Purdue, the Hoosiers have been waiting patiently for the past few weeks for the chance to prove themselves.

While the players have probably enjoyed some time off, they are itching to get back to playing and so is Coach Cignetti who has been working overtime to prepare for the Fighting Irish.

The Bucket is home, and there is only one way to celebrate: a Waffle House dinner with plenty of Maple Missile Syrup.
