  [SPEAKER_00]: Their reaction to Indiana's 31-7 win over Wisconsin on Saturday.
• 0:19
  [SPEAKER_01]: Welcome back, who's your fans to the special edition of the I.U.
• 0:23
  [SPEAKER_01]: report today with Grant Shows and Mike Dutzel as we react to Indiana 31-7 win over the West constant badges on Saturday afternoon.
• 0:33
  [SPEAKER_01]: Mike, I got to tell you this was a game that I felt like Indiana played horrible in the first half, did not play the way their cape full of playing.
• 0:43
  [SPEAKER_01]: Second half absolutely dominated this team and still one
• 0:48
  [SPEAKER_01]: 31 to 7 and give what's content a lot of credit at an ice game plan coming in, which was, you know, control the clock, kind of eat the time possession away.
• 0:58
  [SPEAKER_01]: This was a quick football game, even being there.
• 1:02
  [SPEAKER_01]: It felt like a really fast game.
• 1:04
  [SPEAKER_01]: It only took two hours and 45 minutes to play the game.
• 1:08
  [SPEAKER_01]: There was only, I think, maybe two or three penalties to the entire game.
• 1:13
  [SPEAKER_01]: The officiating was outstanding.
• 1:16
  [SPEAKER_01]: And it wasn't on national televisions, so there's not a three and a half minute commercial break every 15 minutes or so.
• 1:25
  [SPEAKER_01]: So the game went quick, Indiana kind of had to play it maybe a little higher pace for Nando Mendoza.
• 1:33
  [SPEAKER_01]: Got five times Mike, four or five times, and still had one of the best performances of the season, unbelievable.
• 1:42
  [SPEAKER_02]: I want to start the show off if I can,
• 1:46
  [SPEAKER_02]: are you doing okay are you better at one point the second quarter of the game I get a text from grant this is we're terrible we suck I'm preparing for the pop-tarts ball against Memphis or something and in the end I made the the fatal mistake of giving up a touchdown I swear man what what were they thinking grant I can
• 2:16
  [SPEAKER_02]: I've read his text and was like, dude, guys, seven and seven.
• 2:22
  [SPEAKER_01]: That's the thing guys is you did not see my reaction in the stadium.
• 2:28
  [SPEAKER_01]: It was a whole lot worse than what I was doing over text.
• 2:33
  [SPEAKER_01]: The reaction in the stadium was was actually when I look back on it, borderline embarrassing to me.
• 2:41
  [SPEAKER_02]: it's another stupid long touchdown that Indiana gives up and and they're good for those every as we know every now and then, but sometimes you got to tip your cap to the other team.
• 2:51
  [SPEAKER_02]: And it was fourth and one, everybody in the stadium thinks Wisconsin's going to do the Wisconsin thing and run it off the guard and try to pick up the end.
• 3:01
  [SPEAKER_02]: credit loop fickle man that are in the O.C.
• 3:03
  [SPEAKER_02]: They completely stunned everybody in the stadium and leaked the tight end out and got along touched him.
• 3:09
  [SPEAKER_01]: I think what I was more frustrated about was I felt like Indiana had kind of jacked around a little bit.
• 3:15
  [SPEAKER_01]: And
• 3:16
  [SPEAKER_01]: played really conservative.
• 3:18
  [SPEAKER_01]: It was a little vanilla there.
• 3:20
  [SPEAKER_01]: The first half was a little reminisce that feel like I say this every week, but this one really reminisced of the first game against Old Dominion, where they just kind of jacked around, that kind of let them hang around and then in the second half, they played really good in the second half.
• 3:36
  [SPEAKER_01]: And again, pulled away and won convincingly.
• 3:39
  [SPEAKER_01]: They held Wisconsin like 22 yards in the second half.
• 3:43
  [SPEAKER_02]: Right.
• 3:44
  [SPEAKER_02]: And it was a very vanilla block game by Indiana standards, especially offensively, but you saw a couple of times where fourth and one in between the 40s, where normally you think Indiana is automatically go for that.
• 4:01
  [SPEAKER_02]: And they kicked.
• 4:02
  [SPEAKER_02]: And I think that they knew if Wisconsin drove the field once, it was going to happen again.
• 4:08
  [SPEAKER_02]: That team is they ever took 12
• 4:12
  [SPEAKER_02]: There's no explosion.
• 4:13
  [SPEAKER_02]: There's no threat of that turning into a track me Indiana knew if they just put enough points on the board was consom wasn't going to be able to match it.
• 4:23
  [SPEAKER_02]: And like you said, it was 10 seven and a half and it was hilarious because I was watching other games and they're like, Indiana struggling with us with a three-win team when at the same time A&M
• 4:42
  [SPEAKER_02]: In the end, it was never in danger of losing that game.
• 4:47
  [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, they gave up 24 points in the second half.
• 4:50
  [SPEAKER_02]: They're quarterback had more touchdowns than in completions.
• 4:53
  [SPEAKER_02]: They by double.
• 4:55
  [SPEAKER_02]: It was four touchdowns, two in completions.
• 4:57
  [SPEAKER_02]: They just kind of played with their food a little bit.
• 5:00
  [SPEAKER_02]: I feel like and this is the end of
• 5:03
  [SPEAKER_02]: six straight games for Indiana.
• 5:06
  [SPEAKER_02]: And this was the toughest part of their schedule.
• 5:08
  [SPEAKER_02]: They didn't have a buy week anywhere in there.
• 5:09
  [SPEAKER_02]: They had they came out of the Illinois game.
• 5:12
  [SPEAKER_02]: They had a buy.
• 5:12
  [SPEAKER_02]: They went to Iowa.
• 5:14
  [SPEAKER_02]: They went to Oregon.
• 5:16
  [SPEAKER_02]: I think that was the order.
• 5:18
  [SPEAKER_02]: It may have been the buy was in between those two games.
• 5:20
  [SPEAKER_02]: But
• 5:21
  [SPEAKER_02]: They you do six straight games.
• 5:24
  [SPEAKER_02]: They're obviously dinged up.
• 5:25
  [SPEAKER_02]: They've, they've missed Fisher for a couple of games.
• 5:27
  [SPEAKER_02]: He came back.
• 5:29
  [SPEAKER_02]: He's healthy.
• 5:30
  [SPEAKER_02]: They'd haven't had so wrought since the first play of the Maryland game.
• 5:34
  [SPEAKER_02]: Driven's not being on the line is absolutely killing them right now.
• 5:39
  [SPEAKER_02]: So hopefully you're spending these next few weeks getting guys healthy because the big 10 title game is really hopefully the next
• 5:50
  [SPEAKER_02]: inconvenience of having to go to West Lafayette on the schedule in a couple and 13 days, but 12 days.
• 5:57
  [SPEAKER_02]: Where they're up.
• 5:59
  [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
• 6:00
  [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
• 6:01
  [SPEAKER_02]: Certainly.
• 6:02
  [SPEAKER_02]: Uh, that's a different show.
• 6:09
  [SPEAKER_02]: Like it was never end out.
• 6:11
  [SPEAKER_02]: They Alabama beat Wisconsin 38 to 14 and he interviewed him 31 to 7.
• 6:20
  [SPEAKER_02]: It's pretty similar.
• 6:21
  [SPEAKER_02]: Wisconsin's not a team that, like I said, is ever going to be in any danger of beating you in a high scoring shootout.
• 6:28
  [SPEAKER_02]: But they've got guys on defense, and they've got some young guys on defense where if you were watching the game at home, they'd talk about if these guys stay in the program, they could be all big Tim level players.
• 6:39
  [SPEAKER_02]: You're seeing improvement by Wisconsin.
• 6:41
  [SPEAKER_02]: They're still not good, but in the end,
• 6:45
  [SPEAKER_02]: They got done what they needed to get done.
• 6:47
  [SPEAKER_02]: They got out of there.
• 6:48
  [SPEAKER_02]: Hopefully, relatively healthy, there was a slight scare where you saw him and those are run to the tent.
• 6:54
  [SPEAKER_02]: After he took what, looked like a possible concussion inducing hit, but it's 31 to 7.
• 7:02
  [SPEAKER_02]: Grant has calmed down from his second quarter stroke, and we just move on from here.
• 7:13
  [SPEAKER_01]: It was an immediate like, I saw him go down and he was like slow to get up.
• 7:17
  [SPEAKER_01]: I shot out of the seat and started yelling, no, no, no, no.
• 7:22
  [SPEAKER_01]: And then he got up and then everyone around us was like, oh, they're taking into the locker room and taking into the locker room, I'm like, you got to be kidding me.
• 7:30
  [SPEAKER_01]: But then your mind goes too well.
• 7:31
  [SPEAKER_01]: It's a by week if he does, if there is a concussion or something of that case, then
• 7:38
  [SPEAKER_01]: He's got this whole week to kind of recover.
• 7:40
  [SPEAKER_01]: Concussions are what sideline you for what a week.
• 7:44
  [SPEAKER_01]: 10 day, I've never had one.
• 7:48
  [SPEAKER_02]: He got up.
• 7:49
  [SPEAKER_02]: He looked a little like wobbly on his feet.
• 7:51
  [SPEAKER_02]: I thought when he first stood up, it kind of looked like he wanted to go to the wrong sideline for a second.
• 7:56
  [SPEAKER_02]: So I was like, he's done.
• 7:57
  [SPEAKER_02]: He might not play the Purdue game.
• 8:02
  [SPEAKER_02]: Which they probably could win that game without him.
• 8:07
  [SPEAKER_02]: Sorry, Greg.
• 8:09
  [SPEAKER_02]: But thankfully he was, he went in, he got checked out, he came back in, I think he threw one more touchdown after that, and then they got him out of the game.
• 8:17
  [SPEAKER_02]: So good on him, it was a slight scare at the end of a game that was just very, law.
• 8:29
  [SPEAKER_01]: I want to circle back to what you were saying there, Mike, about the bi we did, this is stuff that I researched a quick before we jumped on here,
• 8:39
  [SPEAKER_01]: But you look at some of these teams that have their first bi-week and then their time between their first and their second bi-week and how many weeks in between there aren't.
• 8:50
  [SPEAKER_01]: I want to tell you about a few programs here, Ohio State.
• 8:54
  [SPEAKER_01]: Their first bi-week was in week four.
• 8:56
  [SPEAKER_01]: Their second bi-week was in week eight.
• 8:59
  [SPEAKER_01]: So you do the elementary school math they had four weeks in between.
• 9:05
  [SPEAKER_01]: Look at another team I organs, first buy wasn't until week six.
• 9:09
  [SPEAKER_01]: Their next buy was in week nine.
• 9:10
  [SPEAKER_01]: They had those three weeks in between where they were playing.
• 9:13
  [SPEAKER_01]: Produced first buy was in the fourth week of the season.
• 9:17
  [SPEAKER_01]: Their next buy is now this week, 12 weeks.
• 9:20
  [SPEAKER_01]: They played the most games in between their first buy week to their second buy week.
• 9:26
  [SPEAKER_01]: than any team in the conference.
• 9:27
  [SPEAKER_01]: They play eight straight games in the Anastasia.
• 9:31
  [SPEAKER_00]: It was a stellar stretch of games.
• 9:34
  [SPEAKER_00]: Let me tell you.
• 9:36
  [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
• 9:36
  [SPEAKER_02]: And they could win a single one.
• 9:39
  [SPEAKER_02]: They didn't play anybody in that stretch.
• 9:41
  [SPEAKER_02]: They had several built-in buys, but they just couldn't get over the hump.
• 9:45
  [SPEAKER_01]: Right.
• 9:46
  [SPEAKER_01]: Well, Indiana has seven weeks in between their first bite to now this week's
• 9:56
  [SPEAKER_01]: It's so important, Indiana needed this by week so bad.
• 10:00
  [SPEAKER_01]: And you heard, it's a technique after the game say that they needed this coach's retired players or tires, needs them time off the rest.
• 10:10
  [SPEAKER_01]: I would expect a light week this week with their by week and then they'll start getting prepared for Purdue.
• 10:17
  [SPEAKER_01]: I would expect in the really start probably focusing up and getting geared towards the victim, championship, of course, you don't want to sleepwalk that Purdue game and overlook it.
• 10:26
  [SPEAKER_01]: But, and this is no disrespect, but it is, they're just, they're going to win that game.
• 10:32
  [SPEAKER_01]: Maybe by 50, I think.
• 10:36
  [SPEAKER_01]: I'll tell you, oh well, I'm just, this is, this is opinion-based, Greg.
• 10:43
  [SPEAKER_01]: Grants hotest take in the history of the past, yeah, going on a limb there, Greg.
• 10:51
  [SPEAKER_01]: And that's the thing is when I left the game, I said, I was a little sad, man.
• 10:56
  [SPEAKER_01]: I was a little sad last game at the rock.
• 10:58
  [SPEAKER_01]: We think about Indiana is hopefully going to play two more games in the state of Indiana away from a memorial stadium that are still going to be home games.
• 11:07
  [SPEAKER_01]: That Purdue game is going to be a home game.
• 11:10
  [SPEAKER_01]: Everybody is every it's going to be more Indiana fans than Purdue fans for do fans are done.
• 11:16
  [SPEAKER_01]: They're all going to be at the basketball game that afternoon against Eastern Illinois.
• 11:20
  [SPEAKER_01]: Well, all the Indiana fans are going to take over that Ross a stadium and packed that thing out for the old oak and bucket game.
• 11:29
  [SPEAKER_01]: So that that's that's real promising for Indiana is that they can play these next two games.
• 11:35
  [SPEAKER_01]: One of them hopefully the big ten championship where they can
• 11:40
  [SPEAKER_01]: basically play two more home games away from their stadium, which I think is maybe a slight advantage.
• 11:48
  [SPEAKER_01]: You're absolutely right.
• 11:49
  [SPEAKER_02]: I mean, it all comes back to me is take advantage of the opportunity that's in front of you because like you said, this team needs time away.
• 12:00
  [SPEAKER_02]: They need health.
• 12:03
  [SPEAKER_02]: You saw Kamara leave the game early yesterday.
• 12:05
  [SPEAKER_02]: I mean, he didn't come back.
• 12:09
  [SPEAKER_02]: attrition over these last seven weeks.
• 12:11
  [SPEAKER_02]: And I've just not heard anything about Drew Evans injury.
• 12:16
  [SPEAKER_02]: I don't know if you have Grant.
• 12:18
  [SPEAKER_02]: I don't know what's going on there.
• 12:19
  [SPEAKER_02]: When he went down last year was when he tore his Achilles, I think leading into the Michigan game.
• 12:24
  [SPEAKER_02]: They were never the same offense after that.
• 12:27
  [SPEAKER_02]: And he seems to be as far as past blocking him
• 12:37
  [SPEAKER_02]: So without him, this, the softens of wine has really, really struggled and you saw it yesterday.
• 12:43
  [SPEAKER_02]: So more than most importantly is getting him back and getting him right and hopefully by December 6th, that's that's something that can happen.
• 12:53
  [SPEAKER_01]: I think Tignetti said that they'll know more in a few weeks.
• 12:57
  [SPEAKER_01]: And the absence of Elijah Serrat here in this last few weeks has definitely been evident.
• 13:03
  [SPEAKER_01]: But thankfully, Indiana just has so many other guys that can compliment and Charlie Becker, who had another great game yesterday.
• 13:11
  [SPEAKER_01]: And they're so deep at the wide receiver position.
• 13:16
  [SPEAKER_01]: But you're starting to see where their depth kind of
• 13:19
  [SPEAKER_01]: Uh, can kind of get low there, especially on the offensive line.
• 13:22
  [SPEAKER_01]: You're playing two second stringers on the O line.
• 13:25
  [SPEAKER_01]: Benson's still good.
• 13:27
  [SPEAKER_01]: Cooven still good.
• 13:28
  [SPEAKER_01]: Smith's still good.
• 13:30
  [SPEAKER_01]: And you have Zinn Mahalski and, and Ajani out there who.
• 13:34
  [SPEAKER_01]: And just we're not getting that much time at the start of the season and are now starting and having to play.
• 13:42
  [SPEAKER_01]: So Indiana's depth there at the O lines, getting a little exposed, but again, you take the
• 13:49
  [SPEAKER_01]: to get healthy.
• 13:50
  [SPEAKER_01]: I'm sure you're excited to go into the buy.
• 13:52
  [SPEAKER_01]: That's why it's going to make the world so tough because you have the emotional win against Penn State.
• 13:58
  [SPEAKER_01]: You're looking forward to the buy.
• 13:59
  [SPEAKER_01]: We West cotton, the game just kind of, you got Purdue coming out.
• 14:05
  [SPEAKER_01]: You're going to the playoff.
• 14:06
  [SPEAKER_01]: You're probably going to the big 10 champion chip.
• 14:09
  [SPEAKER_01]: This was just, this was a huge trap game yesterday in it, showed.
• 14:14
  [SPEAKER_02]: Well, the first half kind of looks like me on the Friday before I leave for vacation at work.
• 14:22
  [SPEAKER_02]: I'm there, but they ain't getting much out of me.
• 14:27
  [SPEAKER_02]: And that's kind of what Indiana looked like for the first half of that game and credit all credit to Wisconsin.
• 14:33
  [SPEAKER_02]: Sometimes you can say your team played like crap, but it's more so maybe the other team was making plays that they don't normally make.
• 14:40
  [SPEAKER_02]: They had a seven minute drive to start the game.
• 14:43
  [SPEAKER_02]: it in a miss field goal.
• 14:45
  [SPEAKER_02]: Well, you really limit any and only got one possession in the first quarter because of that.
• 14:49
  [SPEAKER_02]: And they cash it in for a touchdown.
• 14:51
  [SPEAKER_02]: They didn't play like you said.
• 14:53
  [SPEAKER_02]: It was just like almost like a running clock high school game.
• 14:55
  [SPEAKER_02]: The game was over when the other new games were starting the fourth quarter, which was wild.
• 15:02
  [SPEAKER_02]: So it was a low possession.
• 15:04
  [SPEAKER_02]: Wasn't a track me.
• 15:05
  [SPEAKER_02]: It was just kind
• 15:12
  [SPEAKER_02]: Indiana got the job done and now they get to enjoy a couple weeks off.
• 15:17
  [SPEAKER_01]: Heck of an analogy there.
• 15:18
  [SPEAKER_01]: I like it.
• 15:20
  [SPEAKER_01]: The Friday before vacation.
• 15:26
  [SPEAKER_00]: And it has a bit of bellermint open.
• 15:29
