I have been thinking about the Ohio State game. I thought Monday Illinois would give Ohio State a good game but I have changed my thinking. As you examine teams you must think in several areas. When you have contradictory conclusions, you must look back and decide what you believe. A poster on this board feared Illinois was going to be "indiana-ed" (I don't think I spelled that correctly) and I didn't agree, but now I do. Two years ago, Nebraska was 5-1 when they played Indiana. They were doing well. When IU defeated them they went into a losing streak. If Ohio State blows the doors off of this Illinois team, this team better prepare for Purdue as if it is the end of the world. I don't think this team has the attitudes that each game is the end of the world. I seriously doubt this team is able to prepare for Purdue with a healthy dose of fear. I think they will prepare with an overdose of mock.

Checking the other side of the plugged nickel, Coach Cignetti is terrified of what Northwestern can do. The fear of the Cats is the beginning of football wisdom in Bloomington Friday night.

Look at the scoreboard.

Mississippi State goes from trailing 23-14 to leading 38-23 in five seconds. The person who made the highlight for ESPN, seems to have had a brain fart.

It’s one full quarter later, though, right?

Roughly 12 minutes left in the 3rd to roughly 12 minutes left in the 4th. That’s a lot of time for the comeback.

Also, they are going in different directions. (As further verification that the quarter has turned over)

at some point IU is going to lose a game that in theory they should win .

I hope they lose a lot of games. Last year they did what can't be done. In the modern era of free agency, no other team I can think of has ever done anything like that. They squared the circle.

There are a great number of big plays missed then and that is a highlight video.

Ahhhh, I’m picking up what y’all are putting down. It’s not a technical oops…but a “you skipped a ton of highlights” oops.

Is Chip Kelly known for the flexbone?

Northwestern is going to be a problem for our last game. I miss inept NU football.

I want to always beat Northwestern, but I actually wouldn’t mind them being a better program, along with Purdue. Might light a fire under our boosters’ asses to build our football program up even more than we are now. Basically the philosophy of having a strong rival means you are also pressured into getting better alongside them.

Michigan and Ohio State, Oklahoma and Texas

Coke and Pepsi, Apple and Microsoft

If Northwestern was historically a better rival to have, (as well as us for them in many years, both sides could be further along.

Chiles got lucky again with a second fumble that goes out of bounds.

And right after that, he completes a long pass to the TE.
