SOC - Indiana

That's where I'm at tonight. If we're +3 in turnovers, we win by 28+. If turnovers are even, we still win by 10-14. If turnovers are -3, I still think we win. This is an Indiana team that is implementing new offensive and defensive systems -- and those systems couldn't beat 1-4 North Texas. I'm pretty sure they're headed for a 1-11 season -- teams headed for 1-11 seasons can't usually win even if the turnovers are +3 in their favor.

So I feel good about this game for that reason, and for the fact that we're due for a game where everything clicks. We force a few fumbles, the secondary grabs a few interceptions, and the offense holds onto the ball and grinds out some yards. We need that kind of game going into the Ohio State contest. I think we get that kind of game tomorrow.
