I see where the game has been schedule for 7:00 P.M. on the Big Ten Network. Hoosiers played Michigan very tough. It would appear they may be better then some of the earlier predictions in the Big Ten. Our first game on the road and we all know road games can be dangerous. A couple turnovers, crowd involvement, who knows? Our defense has been our mainstay thus far. Should be an interesting game. Don
Seems to be a trend to have more night games. I guess the traditional Midwest starting time of 12:00 Noon is not esp good for ratings. I don't know anything about IU, my guess is that they aren't quite as good as the close loss to UM would indicate. But that's why you play the game.
Based on what I've seen of the crowds at the IU home games, I would suggest that there will be at least as many Ohio State fans as IU fans, maybe more.
Sid, in recent years, that has typically been the case. I would think though that a night game may serve to reduce the amount of Buckeye fans that make the trip....I do expect a good turnout from the Buckeye Nation nevertheless.... I don't think they have quite forgiven us since our we tore down their goal post at Memorial Stadium after clinching the Big 10 title and a trip to the Rose Bowl in 97.
Ohio State pretty much had their was with the Hoosiers in Bloomington In last night. Pryor pass for 3 TDS and rushed for one more. We were dominate on the rushing game and Saine looked like a beast in motion with his speed and power. Biggest surprise of the evening was a passs to the fullback for a TD just a few yards out from the endzone. Indian hurt hemselves with a number of penalties at crucial moments to halt drives. Don
Stu, Granted we let down a bith in the 4th quarter on defense, but I am not too concerned at this point. Looking forward to the Whiskey game nest Saturday. Game will be televised regionally by ABC at 3:30
