UCLA, NW, Nebraska, and Washington all come off bye weeks before playing us. Luckily Nebraska is the toughest game in there, and that’s our bye week as well. Washington is giving the Wolverines all they want and more right now. UW with 142 yards offense to UM’s 33 in first quarter.

Allowed us to build momentum into the season. Confidence goes a long way and having the easy games early helped us. Slowly playing better teams but building off the last win. This is as favorable a B1G schedule as you can ask for. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I consider getting road games at UCLA, Northwestern, MSU, and OSU to be very favorable. You're going to lose to OSU regardless, but the other 3 are the kind of teams you want to be your road games. By contrast, getting Nebraska, Washington, and Michigan at home is a lot better than getting them on the road.

Wasn’t saying our schedule wasn’t favorable, just that one particular aspect (opponents coming off byes) makes it a little more difficult than it first seems. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is all the team can control. Gain momentum and hope we continue to improve. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we keep this rolling, and I think we will, I'm not sure OSU will think we are an automatic win. I expect we will compete to the end. This is not the typical IU football team. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluegrassIU Posted October 6 Report Share Posted October 6 I am 100% on the bandwagon. But realize, our conference opponents to date are a combined 0-7 in conference. It's going to get tougher and should be fun. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can’t remember the last time I was sad IU had a bye week coming up 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He definitely got injured, but unsure what his injury was. For some reason I believe it was upper body. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

13th&Jackson Posted October 6 Report Share Posted October 6 6 minutes ago, jojo123 said: I think you guys are forgetting what Cig said when he got hired. "this is my last stop" 12/21/06: "I guess I have to say it," Saban said. "I'm not going to be the Alabama coach." He's bristled at nearly every suggestion about him leaving the Dolphins since. "I don't know how many times I've got to respond to rumor and innuendo," Saban said. "I have no control over that. I've stated what my intentions are and they really haven't changed, so I don't know what the issue is. And I don't know why people keep asking about it. What they talk about over there is their business. But what's happening here is my business and our business, and that's what we're focused on." "He told us a couple weeks ago that he's proud to be a Dolphin and he's going to be sticking around," Dolphins quarterback Joey Harrington said. "So I take him at his word. I've taken him at his word ever since I came here. He's one of the reasons why I decided to come to Miami. And so, if he tells us he's going to say, I trust him. But on the other hand, there's a lot of job offers out there and he's a tremendous coach." 1/3/07: “We are extremely pleased to welcome Coach Nick Saban and his family to The University of Alabama,” said Dr. Robert E. Witt, President of the University of Alabama. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
