Indiana's Kurtis Rourke wins his third Big Ten offensive player of the week award after throwing for 349 yards and six touchdowns in the win against Purdue.

Only Anthony Thompson (4, 1989) has won more in a single season in an IU uniform. #iufb

In the last three weeks Indiana has played (Weeks 11, 13, and 14), Jailin Walker is the 3rd-highest graded FBS LB by PFF.

In that span:
- 20 tackles (6.0 TFLs)
- 2 sacks
- 10 QB pressures
- 2 INTs
- 3 PBUs
- 5.5 yards/catch allowed
- 12 plays stopped by individual effort

Gone are the days when #iufb is still in the hunt for bowl eligibility in late November and/or looking to beat Purdue to salvage an otherwise lackluster season.

We're on target to go 11-1 and land a bid in the CFP. So...

Here are some interesting facts about the Old Oaken Bucket 🧵

Never been daunted and don't plan on starting now.

It's Bucket week. #iufb

I was at IU in 2007 when Austin Starr hit a 49-yard FG in the final seconds against Purdue to clinch an #iufb bowl game for the first time in 14 years. We rushed the field.

We're making history again—with another Bucket Game, a historic 11-1 season, and possible CFP bid in sight.

As the SEC apologists are sure to make waves this week, it's important to remember:

Losing on the road to the #2 team in the country is not the same as losing to a .500 SEC team.

#iufb belongs in the CFP and is undoubtedly a top 10 team.

Great breakdown here. #iufb
In advance of the top-5 match up with Ohio State tomorrow, let’s talk some Indiana football! 🧵

First, the run game is VERY RPO-based. Heavy on zone concepts (like ‘insert’ here) but threat of pass removes 2nd level defenders to lighten box numbers.

I'd love to see a similar breakdown of our DL caps/lims. Expecting a big game from Kamara. #iufb
Indiana is the 2nd-best play-action team nationally:

- OSU is 64th in allowed line yards
- OSU's CBs grade 34th and 43rd in B1G (PFF)
- OSU allowed 4 passes 32+ yards vs. Oregon
- Rourke grades No. 2 in B1G in passes 20+ yards, with Cooper/Sarratt 1 & 2 in yards/rec

Recipe for explosion?

3 days and a wake-up...

Indiana football playing its first top-5 matchup in program history against Ohio State.

I sincerely believe we'll win this game. #iufb

From @zachosterman.bsky.social:

"Kamara is half a sack away from becoming the first Hoosier to reach 10 in a season since 2008... and stands an even chance of leading the conference in both sacks and tackles for loss. He entered the bye week leading the nation in quarterback pressures." #iufb
Mikail Kamara should've been on the shortlist for Secretary of Defense. #iufb

"I win. Google me." will certainly live in infamy.

What are your favorite Coach Cig quotes from #iufb this year?
November 14, 2024 at 5:02 PM
I've listened to a lot (maybe all?) of #iufb Curt Cignetti's interviews. There's a lot to learn about leadership, culture shifts, and how to win.

Here are some of my main takeaways:

- Be consistent with your messaging
- Be process-driven
- Be the standard-bearer
- Be efficient

Couldn't miss the chance to have my first post be about our 10-0 Indiana Hoosiers. #iufb
