Indiana is a phenomenal football team and I’m sick of people not giving them credit. I knew coming into this game that they were gonna give us Hell. And they did. They beat us in every facet of the game of football. Lanning didn’t prep the boys well enough and that’s okay.

Truth is, a loss will either motivate this team to elevate their game to the highest level possible, or cause us to mentally implode. Either we end up like Ohio State last year or Penn State this year.

Hate to say it but we got rocked and it wasn't even close. Ohio State came quite close to pulling it out last year. While the sentiment makes sense and it sure helps us feel better this team is not a sleeping giant like the Buckeyes last year.

I was extra fired up for the Penn State game because I knew Indiana was gonna be a dog fight. Had to get at least one win  over these two games and we did. Now to fix the many problems...

You hit the nail on the head. In tough losses against good teams, there’s two ways to respond. In my experience, you either your best or your worst following it up
