@dabneyoffermein595 Firstly, with the performances IU has been demonstrating, "the walls start crumbling" is a huge overuse of dramatic narrative. Indiana is nowhere near that scenario even if they, say, only win a game by 7 or 14 points. Secondly, the exact same thing was said about Nebraska's QB and defense.
@@terrygracy8345 I'm not doubting that at all. But Rourke has tons of experience. I'm touting how good Rourke is , not what the 2nd string QB can do .... Washington would have been a close game WITH Rourke.
If we’re 12-0, 100% chance at the CFP. 11-1 with a loss at OSU, 95% chance. 10-2, starting to get doubtful, probably 50% chance. Anything 9-3 or worse and it’s extremely unlikely.

are you not factoring in the losses Indiana will pile up by then? It's likely they will be a non-factor to Alabama's fate. Indiana doesn't have their starting QB indefinitely. (or did you not hear the news?)
@@dabneyoffermein595I know from your comments that you don’t know ball, but IUs backup quarterback was a four star recruit that went to Tennessee. He is more than capable especially with all the tools he has and the defense. Plus Rourke will likely be back by the MSU game.
@@harryhondo1013 Do you realize the defensive coordinator for the Huskies is Steve Belichick? Do you not think that he has consulted his Dad and that his Dad has not looked over the tape of the Hoosiers and has given him the cheat-code? If you don't think that happened, you are delusional. Washington could come to Bloomington and steal the thunder. I hope to God not!!! But they are not coming to Bloomington to get Curt Cignetti's autograph.
@@Goldstar00 Rourke not being healthy certainly hurt them, and their backup QB struggled, but somehow they managed to cover and then some. Beginning to think this is not a "they haven't played anyone" thing. If they beat MSU on the road, they are the real deal. 75K screaming fans will be pulling for the upset. Might not be too hard for them unless 75% Rourke is enough...That ball is going to sail on him with that thumb, guarantee it.
As an IU fan, Ive never loved college football more.
You guys deserve all your success. Hook’em for life🤘
We used to pray for the bye week, now we yearn for Saturdays
That, my friend, is called the Rourke Effect
Give Cig a deal to coach there til he retires with a buyout too ridiculous to ever get out of if a bigger job comes calling
We are not just a basketball state anymore and we don’t plan to be just a basketball state anymore GO IU FOOTBALL
MSU scares me more than UM
Agreed UM sucks
That road game could be disastrous. But the walls might start crumbling with the Washington game. They have a good QB and a serious defense

He’s all balls
Good to know
Where is the rest of Bruce’s segment?
If Indiana has one loss or gets its second in big ten championship game. They are in. Their schedule is pretty light minus Ohio st going forward
They have to play Washington without their starting QB, then they go to MSU, having 2 losses after those two games looks probable.
@@dabneyoffermein595 backup almost as good as starter. Played most of second half against Nebraska. 2 TDS?

@@dabneyoffermein595
Since you're the scary type, yes, you're doubting...it comes with being scared and timid, of which Indiana is neither.
Im a buckeye... this team is special. Let them cook
Indiana might be a top 3 team in the big 10.
Their only challenge is Ohio State and just not blowing a random game.
Rourke just needs to be healthy
Me too. Could be close. IU may only win by 10
If we’re 12-0, 100% chance at the CFP.
11-1 with a loss at OSU, 95% chance.
10-2, starting to get doubtful, probably 50% chance.

No you will drop like a rock if OSU beats you and they will be favored. Indiana has not played a ranked team xll year. Osu 38, iU 24
Everyone in Indiana is in love with Cignetti. Until next year when some SEC school plucks him away. OUCH 😣.

Indiana is actually 1 in the league. Oregon is 2 Penn St is 3 and Ohio St is 4
League 😂😂😂😂😂
It be nice for the state of Indiana to see IU get in and notre dame least 1 of them I feel IU can go toe to toe with some teams
I’m gonna be honest. I think the committee is going to snub Indiana to a three loss Alabama
NCAA headquarters are in Indiana and we already hate them.

@@dabneyoffermein595 they came out and said Michigan state for the return and he was even upgraded to doubtful

@@mayday314 Exactly!
Indiana will almost certainly, at the very least, be in the playoff, but also, possibly even have a home game in the first round. Unreal.
I have been a lifelong IU fan and I still can't believe what is going on. The atmosphere at Memorial stadium last week was nuts.
'Almost certainly' 😂😂😂
@@cwag07 He's not wrong
Lol keep dreaming
@@corylove1321It's gonna be nuts (part 2) this coming Saturday when College Game Day shows up.
Weak schedule
Indy will return to reality and lose the next four games. The Hoosiers might recover and beat purdont
You're a fool and are projecting based on what they USED to be, because Cignetti is doing the seemingly impossible He's that good.
This is not the old Indiana teams
@@petertonies4334 IU is not in Indy… Indy is short for Indianapolis. IU is in Bloomington.
Kurtis Rourke is out, huge loss for the Hoosiers. Washington is not a joke. It will not end well.
I heard this last week about Nebraska. How'd that go?
