0:16
[SPEAKER_03]: And I love Central Indiana Sports.
0:19
[SPEAKER_03]: On Saturday, the Hoosiers escaped again, despite some really bad football, with some really clutch football.
0:25
[SPEAKER_03]: And we have coach-signetti's comments coming up in bonus time, Notre Dame pulled away in the
0:33
[SPEAKER_03]: Plus a big rivalry game in Grant County, as we talk college football here for about the first eight minutes.

0:56
[SPEAKER_03]: Thank you so much for listening, your 10-minute report begins now.
1:02
[SPEAKER_03]: Wow, wow, wow, it's that an interesting game on Saturday for Indiana as an outsider, not a Hoosier fan here.
1:11
[SPEAKER_03]: That was a lot of fun.
1:12
[SPEAKER_03]: And it was some really bad football by the Hoosiers, some really bad clock management, but also they were really clutch, particularly Charlie Becker in that kick, Patty McIntyre.
1:24
[SPEAKER_03]: For those of you who don't know, and I'm sure all of you do, Indiana, second week in a row, coming away with an overtime win in the big 10.
1:33
[SPEAKER_03]: This time at home, against the Minnesota Golden Govers, you now eight and one on the year.
1:38
[SPEAKER_03]: Five and one in the big 10.
1:40
[SPEAKER_03]: If you missed this one, man, did you miss a game?
1:44
[SPEAKER_03]: Minnesota game drives down the field late.
1:47
[SPEAKER_03]: At the go first, kick a 60-yard fuel hole with 19 seconds left.
1:52
[SPEAKER_03]: And Kurt Signetti, still had two timeouts.
1:55
[SPEAKER_03]: He didn't use either one.
1:57
[SPEAKER_03]: Let the clock get down to 19 seconds.
1:59
[SPEAKER_03]: It looked over.
2:00
[SPEAKER_03]: Then back up quarterback Grant Wilson, just a great throw.
2:04
[SPEAKER_03]: And a great catch by Charlie Becker, a 33-yard pass to get.
2:08
[SPEAKER_03]: I mean, I guess it was fuel cool range.
2:11
[SPEAKER_03]: I didn't think they were even gonna try it from 60 yards.
2:14
[SPEAKER_03]: They did try it from 60 yards and he nailed it.
2:17
[SPEAKER_03]: The Sydney game into overtime, I couldn't believe it.
2:20
[SPEAKER_03]: What a kick, what a play, what a drive by a, just, I am in full admiration of this program at this moment under Kurt Sigmetti.
2:32
[SPEAKER_03]: the way they were able to pull that off was incredible.
2:34
[SPEAKER_03]: After again, a really bad performance.
2:36
[SPEAKER_03]: Again, they probably deserved to lose, but wow, what a game.
2:41
[SPEAKER_03]: IU football is not for people with hard conditions.
2:46
[SPEAKER_03]: Then on the first play of overtime, back up quarterback Grant Wilson found Charlie Becker of course, for 25 yard touchdown, Indiana's defense was awesome all day, including forcing Minnesota kick a 60 yard fuel goal, came up with the stops in the end.
3:06
[SPEAKER_03]: Wilson went 9 for 1756 yards and the winning touchdown he was pretty good, but you know who was really really really good with Charlie Becker 8 catches 149 yards and just made plays all day.
3:19
[SPEAKER_03]: Of course the offense still has some questions that they're going to have to answer, but this is a win that should have the Hoosiers firmly in the playoffs still at the top of the big 10 with a chance to play for another big 10 championship.
3:34
[SPEAKER_03]: They got to get Josh Hoover healthy, or maybe Grant Wilson's the answer now, Hoover was not very good even before he took a hard hit before halftime that brought in Wilson, but I am really looking forward to hearing from Grant Shows and my cuts all little later today on that one.
3:52
[SPEAKER_03]: They were both at the game.
3:53
[SPEAKER_03]: I hit the emotions of that game, just had to be insane.
3:56
[SPEAKER_03]: So many different emotions you have to be feeling, even right now about this team.
4:03
[SPEAKER_03]: Whew, can't wait to hear from them, also Kurt Signetti coming up in bonus time.
4:08
[SPEAKER_03]: As of Sunday morning, UCLA still 8-0, 5-0 in the Big 10, Indiana sitting in second place at five and one-and-a-half game over Ohio State, the team, of course, the game, the Hoosiers, their one loss.
4:22
[SPEAKER_03]: Hoosiers have the week off this week before a big game against USC at home on Saturday the 14th.
4:31
[SPEAKER_03]: By the way, that's a Minnesota team that Purdue beat up just a few weeks ago, and boy, has not been good since then, they're tripped.
4:41
[SPEAKER_03]: Saturday to Happy Valley was not a happy one.
4:44
[SPEAKER_03]: A 31 to 17 lost to Penn State, and it was much worse than that.
4:50
[SPEAKER_03]: Purdue now 3 and 5 on the year 2 and 3 in the big 10 and things not looking good for the boiler makers after they were looking quite good just a couple of weeks ago.
4:59
[SPEAKER_03]: Ryan Brown threw for just 142 yards.
5:01
[SPEAKER_03]: The defense was as bad as the offense.
5:06
[SPEAKER_03]: Whew, Penn State Rush for 269 yards, Purdue 33.
5:12
[SPEAKER_03]: Cam Wallace 135 yards on 22 carries.
5:16
[SPEAKER_03]: Carson Henson added almost 100 yards for them as well.
5:20
[SPEAKER_03]: Purdue was two for 11 on third down Penn State 457 total yards.
5:26
[SPEAKER_03]: They're now four and four on the year and the first big win.
5:30
[SPEAKER_03]: Big 10 win for Matt Campbell.
5:33
[SPEAKER_03]: And those numbers explain almost everything that you need to know about this game.
5:38
[SPEAKER_03]: Produce offense was horrible, their defense was horrible.
5:41
[SPEAKER_03]: And now there's not even a whole lot of hope of beating Merrill in next week.
5:45
[SPEAKER_03]: The one game on this schedule and the big tin that Purdue fans were kind of circle and coming into the year.
5:51
[SPEAKER_03]: I got a text from our Purdue guy Jake done in the middle of the game saying I don't think we can even beat Merrill.
5:57
[SPEAKER_03]: And so things not looking good, looking forward to hearing from Jake on that one.
6:02
[SPEAKER_03]: Sometimes on Sunday, maybe Monday, with his reaction from that one, I'll just say my reaction is I'm looking forward to basketball season beginning Monday.
6:12
[SPEAKER_03]: And of course, there was college football outside of the Big Ten on Saturday, Notre Dame.
6:17
[SPEAKER_03]: Now, 7-1 after a 35-13 win over Navy, the Irish Trail 13-7 in the first half, and only led 14-13 and halftime, but Nolan James ran for 107 yards, and two touchdowns on just nine carries, Jerome Betta's Junior, cut six passes for 78 yards, and his first college touchdown.
6:38
[SPEAKER_03]: And after allowing 189 yards before halftime, Notre Dame held Navy did just 50-6 yards in the second half.
6:47
[SPEAKER_03]: In the end of Wesleyan won the Battle of Grant County beating Taylor 38 to 20.
6:52
[SPEAKER_03]: The 7th rank Wildcats jumped out to a 21-0 lead with Taylor thought back to tie the game in the 3rd quarter, with Arjun Loathy, through for 383 yards and 4 touchdowns, the Wildcats now 8-1 on the year 3-0 in the conference.
7:07
[SPEAKER_03]: It's the first conference loss for Taylor, which is now 7-2, but...
7:12
[SPEAKER_03]: quite a performance by the Trojans.
7:14
[SPEAKER_03]: Really excited to see where that program is headed.
7:16
[SPEAKER_03]: Also, in NAIA Football Number 6, Marion rolled past St. Francis of Illinois 63 to 14.
7:23
[SPEAKER_03]: Butler's now seven and two overall, four and one in the Pioneer Conference after beating Presbyterian 27 to 10.
7:30
[SPEAKER_03]: Indiana State Lost 45 to 23 at Northern Iowa, Elijah Owens returned to action and accounted for 435 yards and three touchdowns in the loss.
7:41
[SPEAKER_03]: U&D put 73 points on the board in a 73-34 win over Quincy, the Greyhounds now 5 and 4 overall, Garrett Cheryl ran for 211 yards, and the Greyhounds finished with 586 total yards.
7:57
[SPEAKER_03]: The pilot delivered a big conference victory, beating John Carroll 35 to 7.
8:01
[SPEAKER_03]: The Tigers are now 7 and 1 over all 6 and 1 in the North Coast Atlantic Conference.
8:07
[SPEAKER_03]: While Bash scored 21 points in the fourth quarter, but came up short at Ohio Wesley in 35 to 28.
8:12
[SPEAKER_03]: Little Giants are now 4 and 4.

8:20
[SPEAKER_03]: Marshall Commitchick threw for 363 yards and 5 touchdowns.
8:25
[SPEAKER_03]: to bring the Grizzlies now to Ford for on the year.
8:28
[SPEAKER_03]: The Colton Jacksonville today kick off at 1 o'clock on CBS, the Colton 2 and 5, the Jaguars are 4 and 2.
8:36
[SPEAKER_03]: Cold's trying to win in Jacksonville for the first time in 2014.
8:40
[SPEAKER_03]: But the Cold's probably mostly thrown in the white flag on the year after trading Quentin Nelson and Defourous Buckner.
8:47
[SPEAKER_03]: Josh Downs has asked for a trade.
8:50
[SPEAKER_03]: There are apparently negotiations with at least six different teams on trades for Jonathan Taylor.
8:56
[SPEAKER_03]: And Carly Ursa reported lead met with Jonathan Taylor for over an hour the other day.
9:01
[SPEAKER_03]: They mutfully would like to...
9:04
[SPEAKER_03]: have Taylor stay a cult, but the cult's now of course are going forward with a different plan and whether Taylor's part of it is up in the air and he says that he understands that and it's completely understandable.
9:17
[SPEAKER_03]: Today I'll be watching Jalen Farmer at guard to see how he performs in place of Quentin Nelson.
9:23
[SPEAKER_03]: Everything we've heard about Jalen Farmer so far has been positive.
9:27
[SPEAKER_03]: I expect a really good effort.
9:28
[SPEAKER_03]: I expect the cults to cover in this one.
9:31
[SPEAKER_03]: We made our predictions this week on the culture report.
9:33
[SPEAKER_03]: Go check that out.
9:34
[SPEAKER_03]: And of course we'll have a reaction for you later today or Monday after the game in Jackson though.
9:42
[SPEAKER_03]: The Pacers host the nets the day at 5 o'clock at Gamebridge Fieldhouse and they really need a win.
9:49
[SPEAKER_03]: Now sitting at 2 and 4 Tyreys Halleburton still out probably for weeks.
9:54
[SPEAKER_03]: If it's a Zuboats day today, so they'll be counting on guys like Andrew Nimhard, who's looked incredible as he has run the point in Tyre's Hall of Burton's step, really, really need a win against a bad net's team today.
10:08
[SPEAKER_03]: My glitch and I will be talking all about the Pacers coming up on the Pacers report coming up in the next couple of days.
10:14
[SPEAKER_03]: Please make sure you're subscribed and hit the notification bell so you're alerted when the next Pacers report arrives.
10:21
[SPEAKER_03]: Hamilton's out these turn-girls soccer state champions again after beating Senator Grove 3-1 for back-to-back state champions and finishing their season at perfect 23-0.
10:31
[SPEAKER_03]: Covenant Christian Boys also are state champions after beating Ham and Null 2-1.
10:36
[SPEAKER_03]: So warrior's second state championship in the last three years, here in Catholic finish runner-up, after a three-nothing loss to Evansville Memorial.
10:45
[SPEAKER_03]: In volleyball centergrove beat Yorktown in four sets to advance to the state championship, the Tigers rallied from two sets down to beat Floyd Central earlier in the day, and Westfield swept Crown Point before falling to number one Fort Wayne Carroll in three sets, so it'll be centergrove against Carroll for the state championship.
11:04
[SPEAKER_03]: At the cross-country state meet Hamilton Southeastern's on Yezeller finished third, Carmel's Annabelle Pollart was fourth, and Hamilton Southeastern's Zoe Gibbert finished sixth.

11:20
[SPEAKER_03]: Caramel's boys were second, their girls were third.
11:22
[SPEAKER_03]: Sorry no time for three things you probably didn't know.
11:25
[SPEAKER_03]: Today we will be back tomorrow with that as well as cults, paces and previews of so many college basketball games.
11:35
[SPEAKER_03]: Thanks so much for listening.
11:37
[SPEAKER_03]: Please stay tuned for Kurt Signetti in bonus time.
11:41
[SPEAKER_03]: I'll be back tomorrow.
11:46
[SPEAKER_09]: You're opening segment news.
11:58
[SPEAKER_07]: Yeah, well it's the entertainment business so we thought we'd ramp it up with game day here and make it entertaining for everybody.
12:05
[SPEAKER_07]: I'm glad we decided to start playing in two thirds of our teams in the final 19 seconds of regulation.
12:15
[SPEAKER_07]: Defense was pretty good throughout.
12:16
[SPEAKER_07]: I can't say enough about this team finding a way to overcome this challenge when it looked really dire.
12:25
[SPEAKER_07]: made a play on the sideline with Charlie Becker.
12:28
[SPEAKER_07]: I don't think it made that 60 yard feel go with Patty and hit first play over time and defense stop more and forth down so, tremendous win.
12:43
[SPEAKER_07]: Again, I thought the defense was really good throughout.
12:47
[SPEAKER_07]: The offense was not so good and sort of frazzled and just playing, I don't know.
12:55
[SPEAKER_07]: better in a second half and then some huge just special teams' gaps throughout the entire game which is so uncharacteristic of us.
13:05
[SPEAKER_07]: But it's nice to be open this week.
13:11
[SPEAKER_07]: You know, I think plan 9 straight is um, that's what we did.
13:16
[SPEAKER_07]: We played 9 straight and it'd be great to have an open
13:22
[SPEAKER_07]: revitalized.
13:25
[SPEAKER_07]: So great win and questions.
13:30
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, Kirk, how quickly at half time did you decide to go to Grant?
13:33
[SPEAKER_04]: Did that hit that Josh take?
13:35
[SPEAKER_04]: Took kind of play into that and then for Grant.
13:37
[SPEAKER_04]: I mean, I know he's a veteran, but he hasn't had a lot of snaps and games last two years.
13:41
[SPEAKER_04]: What does it say about him to show the poise he did kind of down the structure?
13:45
[SPEAKER_07]: Yeah, I've got some real qualities and total confidence in him.
13:49
[SPEAKER_07]: You know, it started at ODU.
13:51
[SPEAKER_07]: I saw him up close and personal my last year.
13:53
[SPEAKER_07]: J.M.U.
13:54
[SPEAKER_07]: And he's a great team guy.
13:57
[SPEAKER_07]: Kizon on the team 11.
13:59
[SPEAKER_07]: A big tall, strong guy strong arm can push the ball down and feel he could run.
14:04
[SPEAKER_07]: I have a lot of confidence in him.
14:07
[SPEAKER_07]: And, you know, Josh, obviously took that hit.
14:14
[SPEAKER_07]: So I can't remember the exact moment I made my mind up.
14:19
[SPEAKER_06]: uh... but uh... he did granted nice job kirking to whatever extent you can walk us through i guess that sequence at the end it's sort of not calling time out to to maybe preserve some time before minnesota's kick and then like right he seemed like they blew the ball dead there on the sideline on charlie's catcher and they wound the clock okay so you know i have my hand a little bit of everything i know what's going on i knew they had great
14:48
[SPEAKER_07]: and felt like they were going to try to run it down and end it on his kick.
14:53
[SPEAKER_07]: And I knew he could, he was 13 or 13 along with 51, but his 51-yarder prey had 10 of spare.
14:58
[SPEAKER_07]: Now, I knew he could make that kick.
15:03
[SPEAKER_07]: In fact, I was considering if they had only gained like seven yards in the clock was moving and it was only gonna be like a 58-yarder call a timeout so that we'd have some time left at the end.
15:17
[SPEAKER_07]: and I had a official on alert, but it became a 60 or 62 yarder from the right hash, that's a hard hash.
15:23
[SPEAKER_07]: I thought, okay, there's a chance he could miss this.
15:26
[SPEAKER_07]: But he didn't.
15:28
[SPEAKER_07]: First play coming out, we just kind of like took a shot there.
15:33
[SPEAKER_07]: You know, I said to Mike, I said, look, let's go three by one open four verts.
15:37
[SPEAKER_07]: Throw the ball to fill the Charlie, because Grant can make it throw.
15:40
[SPEAKER_07]: Grant's got a strong arm and if they're anticipated some kind of roll coverage outside pocket throw.
15:47
[SPEAKER_07]: And we made the play.
15:49
[SPEAKER_07]: We thought the ball was out of bounds.
15:51
[SPEAKER_07]: It wasn't.
15:53
[SPEAKER_07]: uh... so thankfully uh... marshes play on the other side same play uh... left two seconds on the clock but we all thought ball was out of bounds on charles and all sudden clocks run regardless and then uh... my man patty uh... drills at fill goal right down the middle and he's made those in practice and uh... you know i went out all i said to him was you know swing nice and easy not
16:21
[SPEAKER_07]: to the right, my next to the left, because sometimes those kickers won't overheat those things.
16:26
[SPEAKER_07]: He's got plenty of laid for that, and as soon as he hit it, you knew it was good.
16:32
[SPEAKER_07]: So then we made the play in overtime on the slug-o, one play touchdown kind like Michigan, and defense held them and it's great when it very improbable come back.
16:45
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, currently there was a hardy guess wasn't able to play.
16:47
[SPEAKER_00]: I know he was able to play just, you know, what's the status and how savage play?
16:51
[SPEAKER_07]: That was like a shock.
16:52
[SPEAKER_07]: Something popped in his back in pregame.
16:56
[SPEAKER_07]: And, you know, they tried to take care of him, but didn't work.
17:01
[SPEAKER_07]: And, you know, that was like a 20 minute before kick off adjustment way to make it.
17:09
[SPEAKER_07]: with the fourth and one when you guys went to high and at 13 what was the thought process there did you think that was you know some back and forth and then I overwrote everybody to kick it because that's the play the playwright there's kick the fillbow um we've outgained them word home let's get it tied up I know it had some fillbow problems and that was the concern
17:39
[SPEAKER_07]: And, uh, I'm glad we did it.
17:42
[SPEAKER_07]: Because even if we make that fourth and one, we got to get the ball in the end zone still, and we haven't proven we can do that yet.
17:49
[SPEAKER_07]: We got to turn over from the defense early in the game and hit the RPO for Touchdown.
17:54
[SPEAKER_07]: But we were down there how many times and didn't score Touchdown.
17:59
[SPEAKER_07]: So we had to get to a tie.
18:03
[SPEAKER_09]: Raving your right to the column.
18:04
[SPEAKER_05]: Yeah, coach, so when you get that 60-yarder from Patty there, after the issues you had, the blocks, the all the special teams issues.
18:15
[SPEAKER_05]: Miraculous?
18:15
[SPEAKER_05]: I mean, kind of, I mean, just how do you describe that?
18:18
[SPEAKER_07]: I've seen him do it in practice a lot of times, so I confidence he could get it done.
18:26
[SPEAKER_09]: Tallinn and Strott and Mike.
18:30
[SPEAKER_01]: This defense kept you in the ballgame for seemingly the entire time past four weeks.
18:35
[SPEAKER_01]: It feels like the defenses kept you in these games to be able to you know make the winning plate.
18:38
[SPEAKER_01]: Yes How do you describe it?
18:41
[SPEAKER_01]: It's it's ability to How you describe its ability to maintain it's will continue to make the winning players over there.
18:48
[SPEAKER_07]: We really do you know our fronts really good And that's where it starts, you know you think back You know back in the day all great Super Bowl teams were great up front on defense
19:00
[SPEAKER_07]: And we're really good up front on defense and Coach Haines does a great job and our backers are good and our DBs and they're definitely a strength of the team.
19:09
[SPEAKER_07]: There's no doubt about that and you know, I can't say enough great things about them.
19:15
[SPEAKER_07]: They hit us on a trick play, you know, since it started out, I knew it was coming and they made nice throw on it and it was touched on.
19:23
[SPEAKER_09]: Mike and front last one.
19:25
[SPEAKER_07]: you mentioned all the mistakes the penalties turn over special teams what did you see from a composure standpoint from your team you know we just sort of was stood at um every area was loaded I think defense was pretty solid throughout offense kind of frazzled a little bit the times couldn't get lined up right um special teams obviously I mean
19:54
[SPEAKER_07]: And he had a rough day.
19:55
[SPEAKER_07]: We've good fillable kicker, had a rough day, and then one of the snaps, maybe two snaps.
20:01
[SPEAKER_07]: But, you know, we hung in there and other guys made plays and we overcame it.
20:13
