it's been comforting to tune into a game with a lead at the half and knowing the guys won't blow it. i'm excited to see this program reach its full potential, it's been a shadow for too long
Something worth mentioning for Tom Allen. He did have the second best winning percentage at IU since 1947. Love what Cig has going on, but i appreciate the work Tom Allen put into the program.
My only complaint with Allen was that he coached on emotion and that only gets you so far. They lost two bowl games that they should have won. I’m an IU grad, btw. I’m psyched for this year. I think they have an excellent chance of going 10-1. And if can get some turnovers against the Buckeyes, I think they can beat them.
Yes!! As an alumni who was studying there from 2019-23, I appreciate Tom. People don’t know how bad this team is historically and Tom had us competing with the big boys for a couple years with Penix. Love Cig so far though. Go Hoosiers!
as a Buckey, congrats. I always enjoy games with ya'll. We usually win them, but IU, no matter how bad they are that year, always plays to beat us. This years game is going to be a thriller. Hopefully we are both still ranked high and it's a prime time game on NBC or a 330 game on CBS
Thanks for the cameo Scott 😂 IU football is a sleeping giant with that fanbase and I especially love seeing a MAC guy like Rourke take IU to new heights!
Sleeping giant? I'm an IU fan. We are nowhere close to a "sleeping giant" Our absolute ceiling on a consistent year to year basis is probably a top 5 big ten finish, 8-4 or 9-3 ish. Every blue moon maybe they will win more, but they are never going to out recruit teams like Ohio State, Michigan, Penn State, USC, Oregon, etc etc etc
I’ve been a Hoosier fan since falling in love with the school at my first football game in 2001. My favorite game of all time is still the Austin Starr kick to beat Purdue. I’m probably one of the few fans that supports football more than basketball. I haven’t seen this much excitement about the program since Coach Hep. I’m excited to see how the rest of the season goes. Go Hoosiers! 🔴⚪️
@@Mr._Chievous Is his time at IU hyped up because of his death I would agree with you and say yes. He did have a losing record in his two seasons at IU. Fun fact the coach with the most wins at IU has a losing record as well people still talk about Coach Mallory today and he hasn’t been the coach since the mid-1990s. That kinda comes with having the most loses in all D1 football. Even in his short time at IU people started to somewhat believe in the program before his death. 4 and 5 wins at that time was big for IU. People saw the team was getting better. This allowed Bill Lynch to slide in and go to a bowl game with Heps guys during the 07 season. Then the wheels fell off in 2008 killing all momentum the program had. In my opinion if he would have been able to coach at IU longer he would have stabilized the program. I personally like the Rock tradition since it’s a piece of Indiana Limestone. It is also a tribute to the school since basically all of IU’s buildings are made from Limestone. He started The Rock tradition and it has just stuck with IU since.
@@ronniethomas7925 i like the limestone rock, too. just doesn't need to be called "hep's rock". 4-12 in big ten play is not worth honoring in perpetuity
@@Mr._Chievous at the end of the day we aren’t going to agree. Which I respect your opinion. I’m fine with it being named Heps Rock to honor an Indiana native who started the tradition at IU when it had nothing. I was also in 5th and 6th grade when he was the head coach so it will be nostalgic for me either way.
Good video. I went to the Indiana vs. Maryland game---good time. I have a ticket already for the Indiana vs. Nebraska. Rourke is the best QB in the Big Ten. A Resident of Indianapolis but not an IU Graduate
@@KoyeGick Well I just named the best teams. Washington, Nebraska and Michigan State are all also good teams. Their schedule is automatically tough because they play big ten teams. Saying it’s the weakest schedule in the country is insane.
Some of the schedule (Western Illinois,etc) was made a couple of years ago, probably by Tom Allen trying to get the program back with a cupcake or 2... Tom is a better coordinator than head coach, I respect him for his efforts & the "LEO" mantra. Glad to have Coach Cignetti, hoping that he will stay a long time and not leave us hanging.
IU being bowl eligible before Columbus day is a huge accomplishment. Curb-stomping nearly everyone on the way there? Amazing. Keep it rolling Hoosiers!
As a UCF fan it reminds me of both us and the Chris Peterson Boise State where you can only play the schedule your given but if you're easily handling those teams the same as a "Better Program" would shouldn't that be taken into account? I remember when we played Pitt (who went to the ACC championship game that year) in 2018 and won 45-14. All the talk was that we need to do more to make a statement when we'd gone into half up 31-7 and put in the backups most of the 2nd half after scoring a TD first drive of the 3rd to make it 38-7. I know it's not quite the same just my 2 cents whenever the SOS inevitably comes up each year...
@@POPToppins yea alabama is pretty bad huh? 😂😂 i go to school here and we smack everyone we own georgia, indiana football is a joke just like you lil bro, come to tuscaloosa
@@POPToppins let’s see what happens when they play an actual football team, anyone can schedule 4 cupcake games to open then play an easy p4 matchup against one of the worst p4 teams in maryland soooooo pls stop joining
I have been an IU football fan since high school - a long time ago. My wife and I attended all the home football games as undergraduate and graduate students at IU. We never left the game early even if it was pouring rain, or if the team was getting pummeled by Michigan or Nebraska or who ever it was who was handing IU another lopsided defeat. Web always stayed to the bitter end. Over the years, Indiana had a way of snatching defeat from the jaws of victory many times. It was demoralizing year after year. But I believe this IU team is different than any of the previous IU teams I have watched. On the sidelines, Coach Cignetti reminds me of a CEO of an organization, allowing his assistant coaches to do their jobs while executing the game plan, while he overseas the entire operation. He is organized and businesslike. There are no wasted timeouts. He is serious on the sideline not too high not too low and his team reflects his attitude. They are serious about what they are doing. In the past when IU’s season started off well you waited expecting the bottom to drop out. Which it nearly always did. I don’t have that feeling watching this team. They may not win all of their remaining games but I do think they will win the majority of them and any team that takes them lightly is going to get a big surprise. And all of this is due to Coach Cignetti and his staff. It is amazing to think that he could have this kind of success so quickly and turn IU around in just one year. I am looking forward to the rest of the season. And hopefully many more to come.
I’m glad to see a comment like this cause being a SEC (specifically UGA) fan, I never really got a chance to really see fans such as yourself and your wife be a diehard fan of a team that hasn’t gotten a lot of shine like big boys. For that, I hope IU makes a run!
I thought before the season Indiana Football would be on the rise because of the hire Curt Cignetti. What i didn't know is that indiana would get this type of success this fast.
I made a comment on Harris Highlights’ preseason hot takes video that said IU would get ten wins this season. I still stand by that. I think anything less than that should be a disappointment for this team. There’s some special going on in Bloomington this year. Might wanna check what’s in the water lol
Current IUFB manager and the immediate culture shift Cig instilled was incredible to witness! We have a real shot of doing something special this year as long as we stay healthy
Excellent job Scott. It’s really entertaining to hear about other schools that are having a solid season. It gets boring hearing about Bama, UGA, Ohio State all the time. HOWEVER, Hook’em 🤘
Now they are 10-0, first ever 10 win season in the school's football history, which is astonishing for a university that is more for basketball then football, and i think this is a big turning point for indiana's football history.
I’m a notre dame fan and I enjoy watching IU more than ND…this team is absolutely legit…what they did to Nebraska was stupid…coach Cig has changed the football culture at Bloomington in a big way…
As an IU grad, they should 8-0 before they get to Ohio State. If they get some breaks and Ohio State gets a loss or two before IU, they might be able to get a win. They’ve played OSU pretty tough with worse teams. I think they go 11-1. I live near Columbus and I hate OSU. The fans are mental. It’s insane living here.
I'm an ND fan not IU, but i live pretty close to Columbus. And I can say without a doubt that OSU has the absolute worst fans in college football lol. Talking to most of them about other teams, or just college football outside of osu is like trying to talk to a brick wall. It's awful lol
Yeah I don't know about that. I think an OSU loss before the IU game would piss off the Buckeyes even more. I'm from Columbus and go to OSU. Love the Buckeyes but the fanbase can definitely be a bit crazy. We ran Kirk Herbstreit out of town for example
@@loganmurphy3866 What???? ND fans are terrible. Living in the past off what they used to be. ND fans still feel they are a top program. Those days are long gone
@@jackjohnson3978 I'm not saying ND doesn't have its share of delusional fans. We certainly do. But osu fans are terrible to talk to about cfb, and I don't really see how you can argue against it. Like someone said in another comment, they literally ran Herby out of town because of how ridiculous they were 😂 being delusional is different than running people out of your town because you disagree with what they say about your football team lol. Having a rational convo about cfb with most (not all) osu fans in nearly impossible. Also being in their stadium as an opposing fan is awful. I've gone to plenty of stadiums and yeah there's some razzing but it's all in good fun. At osu, not so much.
Coach Cig would be my vote, even as a Buckeye, for Coach of the Year if they go 10-2 or, what's looking more and more doable, 11-1 and get to the Playoffs. And I don't just mean B1G Coach of the Year, I mean COACH OF THE YEAR period. This would, in my opinion, be a Hall of Fame coaching year if they go 11-1 and make the college football playoffs, if they one a round one game, then that would seal it.
If Curt Cignetti stays at our school, you could put us up for top 25 for a year or two. Sure we are about to lose Kurtis Rourke, but I believe that Curt Cignetti can get a recruit to help Tyler Cherry for backups
Great video, but IU does not have “one of the weakest remaining schedules in college football.” Not even close. They still play Ohio State, Michigan and Nebraska. It’s not a murderers row, but it’s not the ACC or Big 12, let alone a group of 5 school schedule. Come on now.
As a Michigan fan living in Indianapolis I always liked picking up cheap tickets to see Michigan play in Bloomington every other year. Although Indiana hasn't been that great they have for the most part played Michigan tough. I am excited about Indiana being a good team and I only hope they lose one game a year! Go Blue! Go Hoosiers!
So excited for Cignetti and the IU faithful! Purdue sucks, Michigan and Ohio State suck too 😂 He's a great coach and will continue to build up the Hoosiers! I had no idea he is 63 tho, dang, I was hoping he was in his mid 50's. I wonder how long he'll be Indianas head coach? Go Buckeyes!
Weakest schedule??!! Washington, Michigan State, Michigan and the Spector of OSU looming and Purdue. Not exactly weak…. Let’s not forget they crushed Nebraska 56-7!!!! I think UM and MSU are ripe for the picking. UW not all that good like most old PAC 12 schools. And Purdue is well…. Purdue. But it is the Oaken Bucket game. 4-1 is legit here?
IU has fielded some competive teams the past 20 years, the difference now is they appear to have plenty of depth, which is what holds any middle of the road college team back. They should stomp northwestern, and I think with a bye week to prep... they'll beat the Cornhuskers.... will be awesome to see happen... 7-0!
16:45. In looking at Indiana's schedule, I think 11-1 is possible. Nebraska should be a tough opponent, but they are beatable if you make Dylan Raiola uncomfortable, and you have a great quarterback. Illinois beat Nebraska that way and I think IU may also be able to do so as well. Washington is no slouch (they just beat Michigan), but they are also beatable. Washington is too undisciplined to beat good teams, it seems. Michigan State is looking rough, per usual. Michigan doesn't have a quarterback. Ohio State is virtually a guaranteed loss, but if Vanderbilt can beat Alabama, then I suppose any win is possible. Purdon't should lose big to IU this year. They just got blown out 52-6 by Wisconsin and haven't beaten an FBS team this year.
they have a real chance of being undefeated before they play Ohio State at Ohio State. And Indiana always plays us hard even when they suck. It's gonna be another hell of a game of two highly ranked teams by then.
The guy who posted this video makes the following statement: "...they (Indiana) have one of the weakest schedules remaining in college football...." I guess he didn't notice that they have Nebraska, Michigan, and Ohio State remaining on the schedule - with Michigan and Ohio State back to back. That is not one of the weakest schedules in college football.
I mean they have money being in the Big Ten. Not sure about IU being a "sleeping giant" of any kind, but I don't think Cignetti leaves after one year for a new job.
This coach never built this program from the ground up. He brought in 4,5, and 6 year plyers who have had a lot of experience and talent and some had already played for him. With his "FAT EGO", I hope someone shuts him up before the end of the season.
Brother... Between 1987 & 1991 the Hoosiers boasted 2 Heisman candidates, an All Pro kicker (P. Stojanovich) and a 6 year starting QB for the Chiefs (Trent Green). I ain't mad but, we beat Michigan AND Ohio State in the same season during those years. Just saying. BA'91
1) Indiana is playing a very weak schedule. I don't blame new coaches that plan weak schedules their first year. 2) Indiana can now buy players to come, but will they stay at Indiana . 3) Indiana will still get Toilet Bowl ,even if they only lose 3 games m because the wins are Pansy's .
I have always had a soft spot for Indiana football, it is so cool to see the Hoosiers doing well :)
Who is your favorite player?
it's been comforting to tune into a game with a lead at the half and knowing the guys won't blow it.

I was there in the 80's and loved the basketball team, but this is so fun to watch. Savor these moments,, you will always remember. :)
“It’s just UCLA” or “ you haven’t played anyone” people don’t understand how rare it is for us to be even competitive in big games. Go Hoosiers
Casual fans never understand how hard it is for any team, even Alabama and Georgia or Ohio State, to win 10 plus games every year.
UCLA normally are good not this year but a win is a win
And it was just Nebraska...and just Washington...and just Michigan.

Weakest schedule??!! Washington, Michigan State, Michigan and the Spector of OSU looming and Purdue. Not exactly weak…. Let’s not forget they crushed Nebraska 56-7!!!! I think UM and MSU are ripe for the picking. UW not all that good like most old PAC 12 schools. And Purdue is well…. Purdue. But it is the Oaken Bucket game. 4-1 is legit here?
Ez schedule ............hav u seen florida schedule omg??? Indiana got it really really ez
Planning to go to iu in the fall next year. What do you recommend i do when i get there?
Can't wait to see them beat Ohio State in Ohio.
You should have started with the fact that cignetti was in the saban coaching tree. Lol of course he's good
IU has fielded some competive teams the past 20 years, the difference now is they appear to have plenty of depth, which is what holds any middle of the road college team back. They should stomp northwestern, and I think with a bye week to prep... they'll beat the Cornhuskers.... will be awesome to see happen... 7-0!
Still in bloom? Looking for people to meet up to watch games with on Saturdays
Shoot me an email @safisher2000@gmail.com
Ahhhh shit we're losing that Bucket this year 😭😭😭
5:31 They beat UConn 38-3
Not gunna lie, I’m glad IU is doing good.. honestly tired of seeing the good schools win all the time (OSU, Penn State, and Michigan) 😂.
IU is 10-0 now! GO IU!!
16:45. In looking at Indiana's schedule, I think 11-1 is possible.
Nebraska should be a tough opponent, but they are beatable if you make Dylan Raiola uncomfortable, and you have a great quarterback. Illinois beat Nebraska that way and I think IU may also be able to do so as well.
Washington is no slouch (they just beat Michigan), but they are also beatable. Washington is too undisciplined to beat good teams, it seems.
Michigan State is looking rough, per usual.
Michigan doesn't have a quarterback.
Ohio State is virtually a guaranteed loss, but if Vanderbilt can beat Alabama, then I suppose any win is possible.
Purdon't should lose big to IU this year. They just got blown out 52-6 by Wisconsin and haven't beaten an FBS team this year.
Ben Davis was a powerhouse these days they’re horribile
they have a real chance of being undefeated before they play Ohio State at Ohio State. And Indiana always plays us hard even when they suck. It's gonna be another hell of a game of two highly ranked teams by then.
Cignetti is a breath of fresh air, Tom Allen was embarrassing
They got a Shanahan thats how they’re doing so good😂
The guy who posted this video makes the following statement: "...they (Indiana) have one of the weakest schedules remaining in college football...."
I guess he didn't notice that they have Nebraska, Michigan, and Ohio State remaining on the schedule - with Michigan and Ohio State back to back. That is not one of the weakest schedules in college football.
Go Indiana
Calling IU a sleeping giant is officially the funniest comment I’ve ever seen. Coach is gone after this year. Nobody will ever stay and build there
I mean they have money being in the Big Ten. Not sure about IU being a "sleeping giant" of any kind, but I don't think Cignetti leaves after one year for a new job.
Big question is how long does he stay at indiana
They HAVE to rank and HAVE to win a bowl game.
IU going to go a Minimum of 9-3 and max 11-1
Indiana is 20x better than USC right now. They would bet USC by 35 points
CROWN POINT ❤️🤍
I don't even know what to think., we are 6-0
31 transfers? I think it was 13 players from JMU.
Ten of those JMU transfers started against Michigan
HOO-HOO-HOO-HOOSIERS
Thank you for recognizing our state as The basketball state and not silly Connecticut.
I'm 31 UConn has won multiple men's and women's titles. Indiana hasnt won any. One wins the other doesn't
@@joanna4754 Outside of UConn what kind of decent basketball is there in Connecticut we’ve also won 5 mens titles
Theres no decent baskebtall in indiana either and dont bring up the overrated ass pacers @@h25c1
UConn is good but that's really it. Indiana, Kentucky and North Carolina are the states I think of when it comes to basketball
This coach never built this program from the ground up. He brought in 4,5, and 6 year plyers who have had a lot of experience and talent and some had already played for him. With his "FAT EGO", I hope someone shuts him up before the end of the season.
Brother... Between 1987 & 1991 the Hoosiers boasted 2 Heisman candidates, an All Pro kicker (P. Stojanovich) and a 6 year starting QB for the Chiefs (Trent Green).
I ain't mad but, we beat Michigan AND Ohio State in the same season during those years.
Just saying.
BA'91
Salad days.
I hate stupid titles like "the impossible". No tf its not weirdo
Any pro players on this Hoosiers team?
Rourke maybe
Omar cooper(sophomore)
Ty son Lawton
He’s short but D’angelo ponds
James carpenter
@@RowenboatCurtis Rourke is popping off
@@h25c1 yeah it’s just bc he’s old that’s causing concerns
@@h25c1 but he a dawg
1) Indiana is playing a very weak schedule. I don't blame new coaches that plan weak schedules their first year.
2) Indiana can now buy players to come, but will they stay at Indiana .
3) Indiana will still get Toilet Bowl ,even if they only lose 3 games m because the wins are Pansy's .
Well I look forward to an Indiana loss with the release of this video. Last team he highlighted (UCF) also lost immediately after being spotlighted.
6-0 now😉
Head coach will be gone next year with what he has done at IUFB haha
⚪🔴⚪🔴
RAHHHHH 8-0
Purdue>
Wrong dubois and brown County is more beautiful
Haven’t played a real team yet
They play absolutely nobody if they play Georgia they would get destroyed
