Indiana got shut out in the scoring column for the first time in 21 years. We talk about that on this show, evaluate what went wrong, and discuss what IU may be facing during the rest of the season.
IU football is back in action, facing off against #4 Penn State on the road. The Hoosiers are 2-2 and haven't inspired a huge amount of confidence so far this season. Do they have a chance in this game or is it a lost cause? I take a look at the matchup and answer your questions as we get ready for the Hoosiers' fifth game of the season.
Scott @CrimsonCast317 is joined as always by James @CrimsonCast260 to preview Week 5 B1G games on CrimsonCASH.
Scott and Galen reconvene after a late night to talk about Indiana's narrow 33-31 victory over Western Kentucky. The Hoosiers started strong, struggled in the second half, but still managed to pick up the win and push their record to 2-2 on the season. We discuss the positive and negative takeaways from the game, and try to put the victory into the larger context of the season's arc.
A solo flight on the Western Kentucky preview --- and honestly most of this episode is more concerned with questions and comments relating to IU football's recently trajectory and what the team can do to pull itself out of the early season funk. The discussion starts off by chatting about the Punt John Punt article on the decline of IU's offensive potency ( https://puntjohnpunt.com/2021/09/23/the-decline-of-the-indiana-offense/) before moving on to answering questions regarding playcalling, line...
Scott @CrimsonCast317 is joined as always by James @CrimsonCast260 to preview Week 3 B1G games on CrimsonCASH. James has some epic takes on Nebraska and balloons.
Indiana football had a golden opportunity to re-establish themselves as a contender this season against a highly ranked Cincinnati squad. Despite a strong start, the Hoosiers shot themselves in the foot repeatedly, committing multiple turnovers, coming away empty in red zone trips, allowing a return TD, and just generally messing up on the details that often mark the difference between victory and loss. We dissect the events of the game, discuss what led to Indiana's struggles and whether there ...

Scott @CrimsonCast317 is joined as always by James @CrimsonCast260 to preview the Week 3 B1G games on CrimsonCASH. A new Money Line Parlay sure to go wrong.
After a week of recriminations and self-doubt, Indiana football needed a get-well game to feel better about themselves and demonstrate to an eager fan base that the season still has promise and potential. They mostly accomplished both goals in their 56-14 thrashing of Idaho, thanks to a dialed-in defense and a special teams performance that ranks as one of the best in program history. Did the win solve all of the questions around this team? No, and that will likely be the source of conversation ...
The description says "Idaho Preview" but in reality we're still talking a great deal about the result at Iowa and what that says about Indiana football's current status. Is it panic time? Did we learn anything from this week's press conferences? Should there be concern at the number of national pundits who are expecting IU to lose two of their next three games? We welcome Evan Gerike from the Indiana Daily Student for the first part of this episode, and we recap the Iowa loss while evaluating wh...

Well, that could have gone better. A boisterous group of IU fans voyaged to Iowa City this weekend to watch the ranked Indiana Hoosiers take on the Hawkeyes. Many fans and pundits have tipped this team for great things, yet on Saturday it was Iowa that looked like the actual contenders, while Indiana never even got things started. It was a very disappointing performance, and Tom Allen and company have a significant amount of work to do between now and next week. Scott and Galen discuss the gamed...
With so many IU fans on the road to Iowa City this weekend, we decided to connect with an expert on the area.

Michael and Galen chat about the gameday atmosphere at Kinnick Stadium, the setup in Iowa City as far as eating and drinking are concerned, and some of the best places to consider going. We also talk about the matchup betwee...

We're joined by ESPN college football stats guru Bill Connelly to talk IU football! Bill is the originator of the SP+, an efficiency-based ratings system for college football. We discuss the 2020 Hoosiers in depth, and dive into why IU's SP+ numbers didn't match their poll rankings. We then look to the current season and evaluate how Indiana is projecting forward, why they have so many toss-up games, and what areas IU might improve upon. We also take a specific look at a couple of key early-seas...

Scott wants in on the season expectations question, so we talk that out and consider what momentum and progression really means for IU football at this point in the Allen era. We then move to discussing this year's gameday experience, what changes might occur, and what the athletic department might want to do in order to ensure that the rush of new interest in football is matched with good experi...
