Indiana Holds Lead, Marches Past Knights
Game Report Posted: June 27, 2017 22:17
The Indiana Hoosiers hold onto what was a 21-0 lead to finish off the Scarlet Knights on the road, 35-32.
Rutgers' offense came alive in the second half throwing the ball all over the field. Their ability to move it after the Hoosiers snuffed them out in the first half had Coach Cooke perplexed.
"We'll have to get back in the film room and see what changed between the first and second halves. Allowing 3 pts in one half and 29 in the other...obviously something went wrong. But we'll fix it and get after it next week against Nebraska."
Up next, the Hoosiers face off against the Cornhuskers in a Nationally Televised 6:00 affair.
Outmatched Hoosiers Unable to Mount Comeback
Game Report Posted: June 30, 2017 00:42
The Hoosiers looked outmatched in a game against the Nebraska Cornhuskers as RB Devine Redding is held under 100 yds for the first game of the season. The Husker defense was flying around all game and keeping the Hoosier offense on their heels.
Indiana falls to 1-1 in the Big 10 and will host Penn State and QB Trace McSorley in Week 6.
Penn State Out-Talents Indiana
Game Report Posted: June 30, 2017 02:41
Hoosiers get out muscled, out toughed and out talented against a talented Nittany Lions team. Backup QB T. Stevens was just too much arm and too much leg for the Hoosiers to handle.
However, they got some good news after the game as the #13 C in the land and the #13 kicker overall both pledged their commitment to Indiana.

Coach Cooke gets his first win over a ranked team as Hoosier Head Coach as Indiana waltzes into the #14 ranked Spartans' home and dominate to the tune of a 24-10 win.
"It was a total team effort. The offense was extremely efficient and the defense played their most complete, dominating game of the season. It all came together today and it was a beautiful game."
The Hoosiers will now have two weeks off in a row with a weird scheduling quirk. The coaches will be spending alot of this time going on the road recruiting.

Nothing Worked. This game sucked. Maryland was 0-8 coming into this game and they woodshedded me. I still don't understand it. Their cornerbacks were all deion sanders. Their QB was Tim Tebow. Just...ridiculous.
Hoosiers Get Huge Game at Perfect Time
Game Report Posted: July 03, 2017 05:36
On a day when multiple recruits, including 4*'s, were on campus for official visits...Indiana plays their best overall game of the season in defeating Illinois 41-10.
"The entire offensive package was there today. Running, passing, blocking...it was all working. About the complete opposite of last week to be frank. We needed this today. After talking with a few of them, we're prolly gonna go in that locker room and ring the bell to bring them home."
This win also brings Indiana within one victory of becoming bowl eligible. This would be the first time the Hoosiers have gone to a bowl in the last 6 years.

Hoosiers Put Scare into #2 Buckeyes, Come up Short on Late INT
Game Report Posted: July 04, 2017 04:16
Indiana put a BIG TIME scare into the #2 team in the land. But a late interception in the endzone was the nail in the coffin for the Hoosiers.
"Really proud of our team today. They didn't back down at all. We got roughed up a bit in the first half but to hold this team scoreless in the final two quarters is pretty damn good.
The Hoosiers will finish up their regular season next week against Purdue. They sit at 6-5 (4-4) currently.
