It's really sad how this narrative gets thrown around by the sports media. We held the Ducks to 17 points, that is pretty impressive in my book.
The D was helped by a lot of turnovers ... but it’s still amazing and an amazing stat. They didn’t convert a single 3rd down.... for a minute you had to wonder if they would have one! The O was the best D in this case....
And Indiana!But, but, but the B1G conference is a meat grinder!!![]()

A huge part of that stat is our “boring” ball control offense that low-IQ football fans love to hate, yelling at their TV for us to “throw the damn ball!”

I like to think good Defensive play leads to turnovers. Not 100% correlation of course, but knocking the ball out and paying attention and jumping on loose balls is part of heads-up defensive play.The D was helped by a lot of turnovers ... but it’s still amazing and an amazing stat.

I love that Indiana, Cincinnati, and Coastal Carolina, the three teams complaining about ISU getting in ahead of them, all lost. While we dominate ours.And Indiana!![]()
