I think Mendoza is just a good dude. He has had to see his mom deteriorate physically for the last eight years or so. He has had to step up and help her. Imagine being a teenager and having to do that. Faith is what keeps him going. He's a genuine guy, much like Tim Tebow. They are just good humans.

Agree with all the points above. But, I would like to add that IU roster are collectively a ton of 3 star players versus the 4 and 5 stars at Texas. Therefore, it comes down to Coaching and Development of the players you do have. I ask this: Why did it take a Fall Camp and 5 games with two losses before Flood and Sark to figure out the best O Line combination? Moving Hutson to guard and bringing in Robertson to be center. We constantly discuss players in high school for recruiting, portal, NIL, etc but rarely discuss the growth and maturity of Coaches: Decision making, situational awareness, communication and other traits to be successful. IU is doing it with less talent than other programs. Why? Overpaid Coaches that have figured out that if you win 8+ games and get to 10 from time to time you can ride that gravy train and not get fired…..so, why work hard to train and develop players when you can just recruit talent by using your name, brand and logo.

There is something about the way Mendoza talks that is very annoying to me.

I want to see Indiana win the national championship just to watch Cignetti's postgame interview. "Well, yeah, we got a trophy. So that's ok I guess. We played alright. Only eight months before the next game, so we've got stuff to focus on.... (walks off)"

Indiana proving that a bye doesn’t have to create rust. Well-coached, disciplined, focused team. Very impressive.

It’s crazy because not many of their guys could start for us. I sure as hell wouldn’t pick mendoza over arch, Ever.

6 hrs until the madness begins @Gerry Hamiltonthus gif is for you

Their interior lineman are tough. They have broken the spirit of Bama's defensive line. We need big maulers like those dudes. They also don't commit a ton of penalties.

Indiana has 2 OL starting + 1 key 2nd team OL from the portal in 2025

He’s putting on a damn clinic tonight. WOW!

Cignetti is an absolute witch. I was reading that they barely even practice... one he feels like they've mastered something they go study more film or something.

We did well last year with a guy who couldnt see the field at OSU due to all of their talent (Kanu). Any way we take a shot on this dude (in addition to woodyard/Barnes etc)

The talent discrepancies between Indiana and the top rosters is amazing. Here's the recruiting rankings for their rosters. This is probably the best coaching job I've seen in college football

He saw the big picture. Too bad Tre Wisner didn't understand that concept. Longhorn Nation doesn't care for players who leave our program for another. The cache is gone. Players that we love our the dudes who stayed with us either four years or pro after three. That's why Rod Babers, Stevie Lee, Marcus Myers, Tony Hills, and Brian Robison remain legends. Quinn gave us his all. He played hurt his last year. Never quit. Legend!

Care then to specify which Michigan staff member???

6:30 central time. I hope we start conference play with a win. They are going to be a good opponent. The SEC is loaded this year. On another note, the Sand Aggies just signed a 7 footer from Africa and she is eligible to play immediately.

WR and TE Blocking

how and/or where can we get legitimate sources that would have that real data regarding Arch's top speed on the 60 yard TD? I am wondering if the tech exists to actually just determine it from the video?

1) Discipline discipline discipline!!! OL no false starts, holding, illegal formations, etc. UT, all the above!!! 2) Tackling. Watch IU’s LB’s and DB’s. No whiffing, no trying to knock WR’s and RB’s off their feet. They get there, run through the ball carrier and most importantly wrap up!!! UT, not so much. Hope Muschamp makes tackling a priority.

If he can stay healthy, I think he can be a Mathew Golden level player.

Cool. Bobby also said Wingo is not a guaranteed to return. So this is a message board and I mentioned what a staff member said from UM board

You would

What’s the recruiting pitch? You don’t have to worry about dropping balls here you won’t even have the ball thrown your way? If he has trouble with drops in warm weather he’s got no chance in cold weather lol.

I don't
