  [SPEAKER_01]: Their reaction to Indiana's 55 to 10 win over Maryland.
• 0:16
  [SPEAKER_01]: Welcome back to the Central Indiana Sports Report, who's your fans for a special edition of the IU Report with Grant Shouse, and subbing today for my cuddle who's in Pittsburgh for the Steelers game.
• 0:29
  [SPEAKER_01]: I don't think that's why he's in Pittsburgh, but he is going to the Steelers game tomorrow, so Michelle graciously filled in.
• 0:35
  [SPEAKER_01]: And we're here to react to Indiana's 55 to 10 win over Maryland and Grant wake me up when it's time for the big 10 championship.
• 0:46
  [SPEAKER_00]: That's what it seems like now, doesn't it?
• 0:50
  [SPEAKER_00]: This game did not start very well for Indiana, but nozzles rose dearly.
• 0:55
  [SPEAKER_00]: Interception that set him up inside the tent.
• 0:59
  [SPEAKER_00]: But with how good Indiana's defense is, they only hold Maryland to a field goal, which was kind of a win for the defense.
• 1:08
  [SPEAKER_00]: That went in the game.
• 1:09
  [SPEAKER_00]: You know, the first two possessions of the game were probably the only two bad possessions of the game.
• 1:17
  [SPEAKER_00]: But the thing I felt like this game with Indiana was, it almost felt like they're, they're opponent today as crazy as the sound, as the sounds was themselves.
• 1:32
  [SPEAKER_00]: It's a game where you had it one pretty early on.
• 1:34
  [SPEAKER_00]: It was pretty much over when you got it to 10-3.
• 1:39
  [SPEAKER_00]: You never really looked back, I know they got it to 20-10, but they still needed the
• 1:46
  [SPEAKER_00]: They got that.
• 1:48
  [SPEAKER_00]: I felt like, again, their biggest opponent in this game was themselves as where they needed to come out healthy.
• 1:55
  [SPEAKER_00]: They were thinning some spots.
• 1:56
  [SPEAKER_00]: They didn't fish or did not play today, which was, I think, probably a good thing.
• 2:01
  [SPEAKER_00]: A precautionary thing, even though he probably could have, Elijah Serrat did not play most of the game today.
• 2:07
  [SPEAKER_00]: He was held out for a precautionary reason.
• 2:11
  [SPEAKER_00]: Cade and Turner.
• 2:12
  [SPEAKER_00]: The backup linebacker there, playing in Isaiah Jones spot.
• 2:18
  [SPEAKER_00]: It was playing in eight in Fisher's spot because he was out.
• 2:22
  [SPEAKER_00]: Got her off of an interception he had then you're left without Drew Evan.
• 2:27
  [SPEAKER_00]: You're starting left guard.
• 2:28
  [SPEAKER_00]: You put in maybe one of the worst offensive wine.
• 2:31
  [SPEAKER_00]: And I've ever seen in the big ten buddy.
• 2:33
  [SPEAKER_00]: He did hold his own theirs and how her macaal ski.
• 2:37
  [SPEAKER_00]: And
• 2:38
  [SPEAKER_00]: guy stepped up and played their role and I got to the point where you could see that even with how fan Indiana was some positions and guys playing in places they don't normally play.
• 2:50
  [SPEAKER_00]: They still did what they did in 1 by 45 points and teams that can do that are championship level programs crazy Michelle.
• 3:01
  [SPEAKER_01]: Just two years ago I used losing to Purdue and here we are.
• 3:05
  [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, I'm so glad he's not 20 and two since he's arrived and blew me to I'm going to tell the defense because the offence is thought to go damn well because mendoza is a leader for the highs and the tropes me going to be one that's opt to quarterback to take me to the NFL draft right now stable of good wide receiver is a stable of good running backs this defense
• 3:34
  [SPEAKER_02]: This defense is bigger faster and stronger in the last year's defense.
• 3:39
  [SPEAKER_02]: And I think they've got to prove it every game.
• 3:42
  [SPEAKER_02]: You might get a big play against this defense, but that doesn't mean it's a bad defense.
• 3:47
  [SPEAKER_02]: And their deaths, oh, their deaths is so good.
• 3:51
  [SPEAKER_02]: And it's better than it was a year ago.
• 3:53
  [SPEAKER_02]: Last year's team couldn't have survived all those injuries like they did today and still won by 45 points.
• 4:01
  [SPEAKER_00]: And that's the thing you mentioned the defense, Michelle.
• 4:04
  [SPEAKER_00]: I was thinking about this myself during the game.
• 4:07
  [SPEAKER_00]: I can only think of two times the entire season and think about it, where a team has drove down on this IU defense, kind of tried to break their defense down and score touchdown on them.
• 4:21
  [SPEAKER_00]: They had no, there's only been two teams that have done that.
• 4:25
  [SPEAKER_00]: Crazy, isn't it?
• 4:27
  [UNKNOWN]: Ethan.
• 4:27
  [SPEAKER_00]: And I would bid it once, and Michigan State did it once, Oregon didn't do it, Illinois didn't do it.
• 4:35
  [SPEAKER_00]: Every place.
• 4:36
  [SPEAKER_00]: He's right, haven't done it hasn't done it except for Iowa and Michigan State.
• 4:41
  [SPEAKER_01]: And they aren't made up plans to build their only vulnerability.
• 4:44
  [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, this decent does not give up 75, 80 year drives.
• 4:49
  [SPEAKER_02]: They just don't unless you get a big play.
• 4:52
  [SPEAKER_02]: And I guess that tells us anything.
• 4:55
  [SPEAKER_02]: They don't give up like a, they don't give up like eight, nine play, 75, eight year drives.
• 5:00
  [SPEAKER_02]: You might get it in three and you might get it in four because there's a going to be a busted coverage or a mistappler or something on a big pass play, but then we give up like no, one of those games, you now has given up what off their defense.
• 5:14
  [SPEAKER_02]: I think only their defense is that given up like seven touchdowns and nine games or eight touchdowns and nine games, that's phenomenal when you think about it.
• 5:23
  [SPEAKER_02]: especially when you consider they've been on the road at I will on the road to Oregon and played a good Illinois team at home and blew them out and I think we've seen enough now to say that this defense is phenomenal.
• 5:39
  [SPEAKER_01]: They just haven't had phenomenal performances.
• 5:42
  [SPEAKER_01]: They are phenomenal.
• 5:44
  [SPEAKER_02]: Exactly.
• 5:44
  [SPEAKER_02]: They are phenomenal and I think they still are kind of
• 5:53
  [SPEAKER_02]: I, you have the losing of record and college football, since Kirk's igniting has arrived, it's changed.
• 6:00
  [SPEAKER_02]: And this year, Indiana has one of the best teams in college football.
• 6:06
  [SPEAKER_02]: It's not necessarily one of the best programs yet, because we think that this is only your two for him.
• 6:12
  [SPEAKER_02]: But this year, it's one of the best teams in college football.
• 6:16
  [SPEAKER_02]: And it is, they're just fun to watch.
• 6:19
  [SPEAKER_02]: I mean, every family thing, you think about this.
• 6:22
  [SPEAKER_02]: Look how good a rolling back, Kobe Martin is, and he's the third string guy.
• 6:28
  [SPEAKER_02]: On offense, you lose a rat, but you lose a lot of time to commit a make plays.
• 6:33
  [SPEAKER_02]: And that catch that the bond kid made there, late in the games, from those, that was a great catch.
• 6:41
  [SPEAKER_00]: And I wanted to point this out looking at a box score real quick, Indiana outgained Maryland.
• 6:49
  [SPEAKER_00]: They had 588 total yards of offense to Maryland's 293 total yards of offense.
• 6:57
  [SPEAKER_00]: Maryland actually threw for more passing yards with Malik Washington.
• 7:03
  [SPEAKER_00]: They threw for a team high T or a 256 passing yards in this game, Indiana only threw for 221.
• 7:12
  [SPEAKER_00]: Here's where the difference maker was was in the rushing yards where Indiana rushed the ball for 367 yards and Maryland only rushed for 37 yards of offense, the entire game.
• 7:25
  [SPEAKER_00]: And I think Indiana had the ball.
• 7:28
  [SPEAKER_00]: The longest they've had the ball in a game this season.
• 7:31
  [SPEAKER_00]: They had the ball for 40 minutes and 22 seconds.
• 7:35
  [SPEAKER_00]: Maryland only had it for 19 minutes and 38 seconds.
• 7:40
  [SPEAKER_00]: So we've seen this Indiana team when they can chew clock.
• 7:44
  [SPEAKER_00]: That's how they win games.
• 7:45
  [SPEAKER_00]: They dominated the time of possession and every game this year.
• 7:49
  [SPEAKER_00]: Besides maybe the Iowa game,
• 7:51
  [SPEAKER_00]: I can't remember off top of my head where that was with the time of possession, but Indiana's has shown that they can control those things.
• 8:05
  [SPEAKER_00]: Going back to the defense, their Bryant Haines is no question the front runner for the broils award right now, which is given to the top assistant college football.
• 8:16
  [SPEAKER_00]: And he's going to have his name attached, they think to do a lot of,
• 8:21
  [SPEAKER_00]: A lot of head coaching jobs, but I think Indiana's got the money.
• 8:25
  [SPEAKER_00]: It's in Signetti's contract where they're going to have different incentives and different things to keep the brain aims in the mic's shant of hands and all these guys on their all their great coordinators and guys on their coaching staff.
• 8:42
  [SPEAKER_00]: That's why Indiana's so good.
• 8:44
  [SPEAKER_00]: You've heard Urban Myers say this, where Kurt's Signetti is not necessarily really
• 8:49
  [SPEAKER_00]: coaching the team.
• 8:50
  [SPEAKER_00]: Like he is, he makes decisions.
• 8:52
  [SPEAKER_00]: He is coaching and practice.
• 8:54
  [SPEAKER_00]: But what he's really doing is coaching his assistant coaches on how to coach this team and be great.
• 9:00
  [SPEAKER_00]: And it's showing.
• 9:01
  [SPEAKER_00]: And it's showed here for two years where the staff is now 20 and two since they took over at Indiana.
• 9:10
  [SPEAKER_01]: And I have no problem right now saying that
• 9:16
  [SPEAKER_00]: I have no problem agreeing with you.
• 9:19
  [SPEAKER_00]: And I'm going to go on record and say this right now if the guy is at winning all the awards he won last year then there's something wrong.
• 9:28
  [SPEAKER_00]: He should be winning every coach of the year award.
• 9:31
  [SPEAKER_00]: Hey, everyone this year.
• 9:32
  [SPEAKER_01]: I should have been straight last night.
• 9:35
  [SPEAKER_01]: I've been worried about Penn State the last couple of weeks because of their talent level.
• 9:40
  [SPEAKER_01]: They have, Penn State has no chance of beating this I, YouTube.
• 9:43
  [SPEAKER_02]: I would not necessarily say that because I will say this, if I use getting thin and if they would go in need, if they have to go in with that fisher again, I don't think they will have to get into that next week.
• 9:57
  [SPEAKER_02]: If they have to play without some of these guys and they would suffer more injuries with these positions, then that makes them vulnerable, perhaps to a pinch of anything because they
• 10:13
  [SPEAKER_02]: I use can only beat themselves, I think, until they get to the big-toned championship.
• 10:19
  [SPEAKER_02]: I always say that because I'd be valley, it's not an easy place, I mean, it's not an easy place to win a play now.
• 10:24
  [SPEAKER_02]: I use got two road wins at Iowa and Oregon, two other places that aren't easy places to win.
• 10:30
  [SPEAKER_02]: Like I said, I just think it's an interesting, you know, a Iraq can't go next week and if it's a hammy, they'll probably go to try to keep them out.
• 10:38
  [SPEAKER_02]: Williams was going to be if Williams or Cooper go down with him, then it could make a little bit of a difference just a little bit.
• 10:45
  [SPEAKER_01]: Sure.
• 10:46
  [SPEAKER_01]: You're right.
• 10:48
  [SPEAKER_01]: I didn't even think about the injuries and if they're less than a hundred percent, like I said, Penn State is one of the three most talented teams that I use going to take on all year and this on their schedule.
• 10:59
  [SPEAKER_01]: So, absolutely.
• 11:02
  [SPEAKER_01]: There is a concern for that, but I watch Penn State today and they're not good.
• 11:06
  [SPEAKER_02]: Here's a big, I think Penn State, I know fans out there, they're really unhappy that Penn State paid $3 million to know the lure him away from Ohio State and I'm so glad that Brian Haines did not go to Penn State.
• 11:22
  [SPEAKER_02]: I agree.
• 11:23
  [SPEAKER_02]: They won him, they won him gone and I get it because I, I really don't think it I, I thought Penn State's offense
• 11:37
  [SPEAKER_02]: Tyler Warren made a huge difference in that offense.
• 11:41
  [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
• 11:42
  [SPEAKER_02]: Huge.
• 11:43
  [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
• 11:43
  [SPEAKER_02]: Nice.
• 11:43
  [SPEAKER_02]: What's the goal?
• 11:46
  [SPEAKER_03]: He could make it on the defense.
• 11:48
  [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
• 11:48
  [SPEAKER_02]: And so he made their quarterback look great.
• 11:52
  [SPEAKER_02]: And of course, now they lost him too.
• 11:54
  [SPEAKER_01]: And now he's making Daniel Jones look great.
• 11:57
  [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
• 11:58
  [SPEAKER_02]: I just speak.
• 11:58
  [SPEAKER_02]: But I want this eye you team.
• 12:02
  [SPEAKER_02]: If we don't have to play some of these guys,
• 12:06
  [SPEAKER_02]: I want to be healthy, come December 6th.
• 12:11
  [SPEAKER_00]: It was funny I thought when Mike pointed this out on our on our text thread that you don't always see a quarterback score rushing touchdown and he's so wide open that he's high-fiving the center as he's walking into the in-s thing.
• 12:28
  [SPEAKER_00]: That's right.
• 12:30
  [SPEAKER_00]: My 80-year-old grandparents, I think, could have walked in the end zone on that first Fernando Mendoza touchdown.
• 12:36
  [SPEAKER_00]: That was pretty impressive.
• 12:38
  [SPEAKER_00]: Just the way that opened up and he made a great read before the ball was even snapped.
• 12:43
  [SPEAKER_00]: I just wanted to point that out there.
• 12:45
  [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, Fernando only had four carries for 24 yards today.
• 12:49
  [SPEAKER_00]: K-Lon Black led the team with 14 carries for 110 yards.
• 12:55
  [SPEAKER_00]: The average eight yards a carry and one touchdown on the day.
• 12:59
  [SPEAKER_00]: Roman Hempie, give Maryland, I'll say this about Maryland is that I think that they put a lot of their chips in on slowing him down and not letting him go off because
• 13:11
  [SPEAKER_00]: just the bull crap that's around them and Marilyn didn't want, basically it sounds like they didn't want him be back for this year for some reason, and that may be one of the dumbest things I've ever heard.
• 13:26
  [SPEAKER_00]: They kind of slowed him down and then shutting down and he still had the most carries today with 18 for 88 yards averaging five yards of carry and one touchdown.
• 13:38
  [SPEAKER_00]: We're stealing wise Omar Cooper led this team today with 86 yards 12 yards of catch and one touchdown.
• 13:45
  [SPEAKER_00]: Charlie Becker came in, had a nice long run as well, Riley Noah Calsky did what he does.
• 13:52
  [SPEAKER_00]: And Elijah's to rad, who got her early in the game, of course, did not record any stats.
• 13:58
  [SPEAKER_00]: The only was in there for the first series or two.
• 14:01
  [SPEAKER_00]: So hopefully he's healthy.
• 14:03
  [SPEAKER_00]: I'm sure we'll get a nut bait on him from Coach SIG after the game and hopefully on Monday, but just hopefully there's some minor injuries there.
• 14:17
  [SPEAKER_01]: My final thought grant as we go into our final thoughts here is that it's obvious watching the game that IU is the best coach team in the country.
• 14:27
  [SPEAKER_01]: And of course, we will be back on Wednesday morning with my cudzel, we'll return a little week.
• 14:33
  [SPEAKER_01]: Talking about all this, answer my U basketball in the IU report, and we will be previewing the Penn State game on Friday and we'll return to react to that on Saturday, Michelle Final Thought.
• 14:46
  [SPEAKER_02]: I was so impressed with the defense more turnovers, led to, I think, 24 points, something like that.
• 14:55
  [SPEAKER_02]: The offense just continues running, the running game was great today, but that offense clicks.
• 15:01
  [SPEAKER_02]: You just look so good and even in special teams, they are so good in all three phases, and they've got a coaching staff that is so entwined and so in sync with each other,
• 15:15
  [SPEAKER_00]: I completely agree with Michelle there and my final thought is that Indiana's just got to keep this thing rolling, just keep this train on the tracks here coming down the last three games of the season.
• 15:29
  [SPEAKER_00]: This season has absolutely just flown out.
• 15:32
  [SPEAKER_00]: I feel like we were just talking about the old demanding game.
• 15:35
  [SPEAKER_00]: A lot of this game today, especially about the first
• 15:43
  [SPEAKER_00]: Of course, three winnable games with Penn State is probably is going to be the toughest of the next three, at least you get them out of the way Penn State coming up next Saturday, West Cots and the week after that, final home game of the season, at least in the regular season, it knows, maybe it'll host a playoff game.
• 16:02
  [SPEAKER_00]: and then you're going to travel to West Laugh the edge to the old open bucket game against Purdue.
• 16:08
  [SPEAKER_00]: So Indiana has a huge opportunity here to rewrite the wrong of last year where they kind of tripped up towards the end.
• 16:18
  [SPEAKER_00]: There's a lot of football to be played.
• 16:20
  [SPEAKER_00]: As Indiana fans like me and Michelle, we can't take this for granted.
• 16:25
  [SPEAKER_00]: We're only going to get this, you know, another handful of times the rest of the season and hopefully we're seeing them play around Martin Luther King Jr. today.
• 16:36
  [SPEAKER_03]: So there you go.
• 16:38
  [SPEAKER_00]: The season, the season's flown and just hopefully we can keep enjoying the ride because this has just been off so far.
• 17:54
  [SPEAKER_01]: The central Indian sports report is a product of ITG media.
• 17:58
  [SPEAKER_01]: An al-Occisi.
