I can't believe WTAE is showing Texas-Texas Tech. Finally, a good programming move by them.

The only way Indiana scores 17 is if the Buckeyes are up by 30 in the 3rd quarter and the 2nd stringers are in. Then again, even that's difficult because OSU can't take all the 2nd stringers on the road to begin with.
Indiana? Think Miami, OH with less talented players who don't understand the offense yet. OSU smoked the Redhawks. The only way this is close is if the Bucks don't take the game seriously and turn the ball over 5 times (unfortunately with this offense right now that probably wouldn't surprise me).

Like I've said.* Indiana is getting respect based on numbers they've put up against the 40th ranked schedule in the country, and that should come with an asterisk(*) as they played a IAA team.
The Buckeyes, on the other hand, have played the 2nd ranked schedule, and have done statistically better against tougher competition.
Note also that some of the expectations for the Loosiers are due to Drew Stanton's performance. That is a completely invalid basis for comparison for the following reasons:
That being said, CFN is as good as there is in the business IMHO.

- Powers is not Stanton
- Stanton was "hot". Powers might get hot, but it's unlikely
- MSU's offensive line is a little better than Indi's
- MSU had 2 weeks to prepare and used them well

17-4 since 2001
Just got done watching 2003 Ohio State @ Indiana. It was funny watching Lydell Ross. Early in the game he was seeing holes, and making people miss. Then on a few runs, where he had holes, he looked like the old Lydell Ross that just ran into his O-line. There were such HUGE holes on every play, that he had to hit them some of the time. When he did though, he was good in the open field. Krenzel also seemed to have trouble letting plays develop and looked as though he wanted to scramble as much as Troy Smith does. Did you know 11 guys caught a pass for tOSU in this game? 11??? That's unreal! Talk about spreading the ball out. It was tough to watch Drew Carter go down. Man was he a good one...but when the red-shirt freshman nobody knew much about, Santonio Holmes, came in...I smiled. I remember thinking we were screwed when Carter went out...and it's amazing how right from the get go Holmes has been nothing but awesome. He had 2 TDs in the game. I kind of forgot about him having such a good game in this one. I really just remember him breaking out against scUM that year, but I guess this was really his breakout game...although Indiana's secondary was horrible.
Our defense was unreal against them. Will Smith was an awesome player. We were ALWAYS in their backfield. They couldn't even come close to EVER moving the ball against us. A late 4th quarter TD, which by that time I started to FF thru most of the game because it was way over. And 2003s defense isn't near as good as 2005s. A.J. Hawk was barely mentioned, and it's funny. He looked so young, like a kid, with no long hair. Also, Troy Smith was on the kickoff return team. I forgot about that. It was funny seeing his named mentioned like it was no big deal, and now every move he makes is replayed over and over again and highly scrutinized...which is what you get when you play QB at tOSU.
Overall...Indiana just flat out stunk. Hearing the O-H-I-O chant in the background was cool. It was very rainny and cold. I remember being at that game, and I remember getting 600 yards of offense. It was funny watching IU try to run the ball...hahahaha. No chance. Also, Ohio State was ranked 114th in total offense coming into the game, with like 270 ypg or something...that's FAR FAR worse than we are doing this year. Yet we were 6-1 that year. Does that tell you something about how tough a schedule we've played this year? That offense was struggling big time coming into that game, and Indiana made them look like the best in the country...I expect more of the same this year. Indiana should be SLIGHTLY better than they were that year...but I think Ohio State is also better.
GO BUCKS!!

OSU at home in Indiana?
Friday, October 21, 2005 <TABLE cellSpacing=0 cellPadding=0 width="100%" border=0><TBODY><TR><TD>By TODD PORTER
COLUMBUS - There is some concern about how well Ohio State plays on the road. The Buckeyes, since Jim Tressel took over in 1999, win on the road by an average margin that’s a touchdown less than at Ohio Stadium.
Is Saturday’s game at Memorial Stadium really a road game? More than 15,000 Buckeye fans are expected to be there.
“Against Penn State, I couldn’t hear a snap count,” offensive lineman Doug Datish said earlier this week. “I had to look at the ball the whole time ... keep one eye on the guy over me, and one eye on the ball. That’s interesting.”
In past games at Memorial Stadium, OSU fans downright embarrassed Indiana. There was the chants of O-H-I-O that circled the stadium. There have been years when Indiana took aerial pictures of the red-clad stadium and used them on the cover of the media guide.
First-year Hoosier Coach Terry Hoeppner doesn’t believe the Buckeye nation will take over Bloomington. He’s concerned about the blitz from Ohio State than its fans.
“I think there will be less Ohio State people than I’ve heard there have in the past,” Hoeppner said. “I think the ones who are here will be shocked at the enthusiasm, the vociferous Hoosiers. ‘Wow, where’d these Hoosiers come from? These students are crazy. They must’ve stayed up all night again getting ready for this game.’
“That needs to happen. We rise to the emotion the fans have provided for us, and they need to have their ‘A’ game on. We need to play our ‘A’ game.”
Is he serious?
Does Hoeppner know that Indiana has not had a winning season since 1994? The Hoosiers have played in one single Rose Bowl, and Hoeppner was a college sophomore when they did that in 1967.
What Hoeppner is doing is remaking Indiana’s image. Football is an afterthought, somewhere after basketball and cornfields.
The former Miami University football coach is making strides. Tickets sales are up. Indiana, against lesser-caliber opponents, has the same 4-2 record as Ohio State.
Yes, Indiana just might have a home-field advantage for the first time in a decade.
“It’s important to our players that our students and our fans let (Ohio State) know where they are playing,” Hoeppner said. “There can be no doubt.”
This is the first of a two-game road trip for the Buckeyes. This could be a crucial swing in the season. The Big Ten standings are knotted up. Ohio State is one of five teams with a single conference loss.
The Hoosiers will likely try to move the ball through the air. They threw it 57 times against Iowa last week. The Hawkeyes led, 24-21, in the middle of the fourth quarter before tacking on two touchdowns in the final eight minutes.
Quarterback Blake Powers completed 14 of his first 18 passes in that game. Freshman wide receiver James Hardy leads the Big Ten in receiving.
But Hoeppner knows facing Ohio State’s defense won’t be as pleasant as Iowa. According to Indiana’s film study of the Buckeyes, OSU blitzes nearly 60 percent of the time.
“They might even blitz us in warm-ups,” Hoeppner said. “It’s dial a blitz, from all directions and positions.”
While handling the OSU defense is important, the crowd might have a greater impact. In road losses to Penn State, Northwestern, Purdue and, of course, Michigan, the atmosphere inside those stadiums left no doubt as to which team was the home team.
Ohio State Head Coach Jim Tressel knows there is a difference. There is no scientific evidence, just a coach’s feeling on the sideline.
“I really believe when you’re the home team, you gain energy from your place,” Tressel said. “I can’t prove that. But I think you gain energy. It helps your performance. Sometimes when you’re on the road, maybe there isn’t that energy boost.”

HAWK BUTKUS FINALIST: Buckeye senior linebacker A.J. Hawk is one of 10 semifinalists for the annual Butkus Award given by the Downtown Athletic Club of Orlando to the country’s best linebacker. Those 10 semifinalists will be narrowed to a list of three finalists on Nov. 10 and the winner will be announced Dec. 10 at a ceremony in Orlando, Fla. The semifinalists are Hawk; Chad Greenway, Iowa; Aaron Harris, Texas; Spencer Havner, UCLA; D'Qwell Jackson, Maryland; Tim McGarigle, Northwestern; AJ Nicholson, Florida State; Paul Posluszny, Penn State; DeMeco Ryans, Alabama; Ernie Sims, Florida State.
SMITH ON SPECIAL TEAMS: Michigan State Head Coach John L. Smith was still a little upset over his team’s special team’s gaffe against the Buckeyes. The Spartans rushed a field goal attempt without letting the offense spike the ball to stop the clock just before halftime. The kick was blocked and OSU returned it for a game-changing touchdown. Asked if the kicker did his job and the other 10 players had a breakdown was the key factor, Smith said, “No. That was a factor in stupidity.”

Still fortitudinous
I was actually thinking about that earlier this week--that 2 years ago in Indiana was Santonio's coming out party. I remember at the time wondering if he was for real considering, as you noted, IU's secondary was so pathetic. Of course, we all know the ending to this story--Santonio has quieted any doubts and gone on to be one of the best WRs we've had here.
