Game Wrap-up & Reaction: Week 2 Navy

Let’s take a step back from the ledge and take this game for what it is.  One loss, that’s all it is.  The Hoosiers reverted back to their 2012 form when it came to getting off to a slow start in a 41-35 loss to the Navy Midshipmen.  While the loss hurts, the season is not over and the Hoosiers still have a good shot at going to a bowl.

Opponent: Navy Midshipmen

Location: Saturday September 7th  /6pm/ Memorial Stadium/ (Bloomington, Indiana) 

Why They Played:  This game was the second in a home-and-home series between the Mids and the Hoosiers.  Navy is a brand name and brought a great crowd with them to create a festive atmosphere where the Indiana Athletic Department dedicated the prow of the USS Indiana and the new flagpole inside Memorial Stadium.

What The Game Meant:

The Hoosiers were trying to build off of the 73-point performance and victory over Indiana State to get to 2-0.  For only the second time ever the Hoosiers host eight games, making this game, against a team Indiana was favored by two touchdowns, very important in the quest to make a bowl game.
