For an Indiana football team that has yet to experience a Big Ten victory this season, Saturday’s game was a prime opportunity to remove the zero from the conference win column.
Instead, pursuit of that first Big Ten breakthrough will have to resume next week as the Hoosiers suffered their fourth conference loss of the season, 20-17 at Memorial Stadium at the hands of Northwestern.
So what now for the IU football program? Following IU’s first win in West Lafayette in 14 years, Athletic Director Fred Glass announced that head football coach Bill Lynch will not be on the sidelines next year for the Hoosiers. It was a move that everyone saw coming following the embarrassing losses, including losing by 63 to Wisconsin on the road, as well as the close losses to Michigan, Iowa, and Northwestern at home.
After facing - and defeating – three teams with a combined record of 1-11, the Indiana football team will face its first major test of the season Saturday.
One year later, I am still scratching my head as to exactly what a simultaneous catch is.
The Indiana Hoosiers’ aerial attack was on full display against the visiting Akron Zips on Saturday night during IU’s 35-20 victory at Memorial Stadium.
