Cigarette is one of the great coaching hires I've ever seen. how was he so far off the radar of every big program? does not even make sense. he was an assistant at Bama under GOAT Saban from 2007-2010 and then for almost 14 years he's in the wilderness at tiny little shit hole jobs until Indiana hires him in 2024. 

how did a guy this good go unnoticed for so long? how did a helmet not snatch him up before Indiana got to him?

Group think,not sure Saban even ever mentioned him but might have.And Mark Cuban deserves a little bit of credit,can't win the race w/o the horses.And quite a few people slept on Mendoza also

Hail to IU.  I'm stunned they held OSU to 10 points.  That's legit.  Their schedule hadn't been great, but to beat Oregon in Autzen, hold on in their close call vs PSU, and then to beat OSU like that, they earned it.  Best IU team of all time.  That's huge!

Well . . .

I had half of this game figured right.  I didn't think that Indiana's offense would scale against Ohio State's defense and it didn't. Ohio State held Indiana to 13, I figured <20. What I didn't expect was for Ohio State's offense to have the same problem only worse and only score 10. 

There isn't really any excuse for having the WRs that Ohio State has, holding the opponent to 13, and losing. That should never happen.

Congratulations to Indiana! There must be massive celebrating in Bloomington.

Curt Cignetti may have outdone Bill Snyder as the best rebuilder ever.

I hope that the Sooners can get by Bama (for the 2nd time this year) and meet the Hoosiers in the Rose Bowl.

the stoopid announcers made a lot of the Hoosiers "rolling" coverage and cornfusing Sayin

I discounted this commentary.  I'd guess Sayin had seen this before and this was not the reason he had a subpar game.
Sayin is obviously young and inexperienced, but he should have trusted his receivers to  win those battles.
the biggest factor probably was the early INT that influenced his decision making along with the pressure from the Hoosiers that he wasn't prepared for.

Don’t forget- both QBs threw one TD and 1 pick.  Sayin completed more passes, better completion %, and more yards than Mendoza. 
He also drove them down late for the potential winning TD.  It is not on him. 
Indiana was the better team because their D- line out played OSUs O-line.  Especially on 3rd and 4th downs.

It did appear to me that Sayin was having a hard time seeing anyone open. seemed like tOSU had 8 guys on the field

Oh, I won't forget but the voters will

also, both kickers missed a chip shot

pretty even game, evenly matched teams, especially in the trenches

I would say that The Hoosiers did something OSU has already seen several times this year - and had no problem overcoming.  They played their safeties super deep ( sometimes 3 of them!), and their LBs super deep too. 

The difference that I could see is that they also use tons of twisting and movement from their defensive line, and got tons of pressure in Saiyin, often quickly.

If we play our cards right maybe there will be a rematch for all the marbles - after all the game was in Indiana  :57: Remember Tide got a do over in '11 i think it was - will have to earn it though
