00:00:16,300 --> 00:00:19,700
The Crimson Caskey on klaviyo 
here, thanks for joining us once

2
00:00:19,700 --> 00:00:24,600
again, folks, it is Friday, the 
14th of October as we get ready 

3
00:00:24,600 --> 00:00:27,600
for the Indiana Hoosiers. 
Back in Action, again, this 

4
00:00:27,600 --> 00:00:30,900
weekend as they take on the 
Maryland, Terrapins, Home 

5
00:00:31,400 --> 00:00:34,500
mid-afternoon kickoff goes 3:30 
kick. 

6
00:00:34,500 --> 00:00:40,000
I think it is as that's better 
than the new kicks is. 

7
00:00:40,000 --> 00:00:42,900
As you all know, from my 
perspective and should be an 

8
00:00:42,900 --> 00:00:46,500
interesting one, one of the 
winnable games left on Indiana 

9
00:00:46,500 --> 00:00:47,800
schedule. 
We're going to talk about that 

10
00:00:47,800 --> 00:00:51,700
for a little bit and kind of 
give a preview of what Maryland 

11
00:00:51,700 --> 00:00:56,100
does well and what, to expect as
we head into this game on 

12
00:00:56,100 --> 00:00:59,200
Saturday before we get to that. 
Just a reminder, that Crimson 

13
00:00:59,200 --> 00:01:01,200

Great vintage designs a little 

17
00:01:10,900 --> 00:01:15,400
bit of everything. 
They keep rolling out new stuff 

18
00:01:15,400 --> 00:01:19,600
all the time and it's really, 
you know, I think that their 

19
00:01:19,600 --> 00:01:22,900
design team just deserves a 
medal for what they've been able

20
00:01:22,900 --> 00:01:25,700
to do with some of this, most 
recent stuff that they've 

21
00:01:25,700 --> 00:01:30,600
released, you know, some some 
stuff that maybe you You think 

22
00:01:30,600 --> 00:01:34,300
that you would want to purchase?
We talked about the Wyoming gear

23
00:01:34,400 --> 00:01:37,200
that they offered last week. 
I mean, that's the sort of thing

24
00:01:37,200 --> 00:01:40,900
that you'll get there, all kinds
of, great, designs, and hoodies,

35
00:02:21,900 --> 00:02:25,900
Right? 
Are you versus Maryland and a 

36
00:02:25,908 --> 00:02:28,600
lot happened? 
Obviously in IU football land 

37
00:02:28,600 --> 00:02:32,600
this past weekend. 
Was the thing that we were 

38
00:02:32,600 --> 00:02:37,200
talking about and we ended up 
doing an emergency podcast on 

39
00:02:37,200 --> 00:02:39,300
it. 
On some day, finally came to 

40
00:02:39,300 --> 00:02:45,600
being as Tom Allen takes the 
somewhat unusual step of firing,

41
00:02:45,600 --> 00:02:49,200
Darren Hiller the offensive line
coach midseason. 

42
00:02:49,300 --> 00:02:51,800
Basically, if the halfway point 
of the year with the Hoosiers 

43
00:02:51,800 --> 00:02:55,800
standing at 3 and 3 on the 
campaign and really at a 

44
00:02:55,800 --> 00:02:59,200
Crossroads from a seasoned 
perspective, we do we've talked 

45
00:02:59,200 --> 00:03:02,100
a lot about the deficiencies of 
this offensive line. 

46
00:03:02,800 --> 00:03:07,200
And, you know, I think for most 
of us who have been observing, 

47
00:03:07,200 --> 00:03:10,200
we didn't think that there was 
any chance that a move was going

48
00:03:10,200 --> 00:03:13,600
to get made. 
Once the season got started, we 

49
00:03:13,600 --> 00:03:16,900
were wrong. 
And as we said on this past, 

50
00:03:16,900 --> 00:03:21,100
Sunday's emergency podcast, you 
got to give Tom Allen credit for

51
00:03:21,400 --> 00:03:24,600
seeing that a change, had to be 
made, and making that change. 

52
00:03:24,600 --> 00:03:30,800
And certainly a lot of emotional
elements to that And you know, 

53
00:03:30,800 --> 00:03:34,400
we heard a lot this week about 
the offensive line, you know, 

54
00:03:34,400 --> 00:03:40,100
really having a great affinity 
for Darren Hiller and even the 

55
00:03:40,100 --> 00:03:46,100
incoming replacement for Hiller 
talked about that in his press 

56
00:03:46,100 --> 00:03:49,800
conference on Monday. 
Realistically speaking, you 

57
00:03:49,808 --> 00:03:52,400
know, this is it's a tough 
business and that's something 

58
00:03:52,400 --> 00:03:56,500
that I think we've talked about 
on occasion over the course of 

59
00:03:56,500 --> 00:04:03,600
the last several years and you 
do get people Who are doing, I 

60
00:04:03,600 --> 00:04:05,600
guess, what you would consider 
to be there. 

61
00:04:06,000 --> 00:04:08,600
The best that they can do and it
ends up not being good enough 

62
00:04:08,600 --> 00:04:12,100
and people feel bad and that's 
certainly understandable. 

63
00:04:12,400 --> 00:04:16,600
The flip side of it is. 
It's also a sport that really is

64
00:04:16,600 --> 00:04:20,899
very unforgiving. 
When it comes to the manner in 

65
00:04:20,899 --> 00:04:23,600
which your team and the 
individual components of your 

66
00:04:23,600 --> 00:04:26,300
team play. 
And, you know, that when you 

67
00:04:26,300 --> 00:04:29,900
think about the way that this 
all went down, I think the 

68
00:04:30,100 --> 00:04:34,600
Biggest shame in it. 
Is the change wasn't made over 

69
00:04:34,600 --> 00:04:36,300
the course of the last 
offseason. 

70
00:04:36,300 --> 00:04:40,100
And and that's honestly not even
meant to be necessarily A 

71
00:04:40,108 --> 00:04:44,600
criticism of Darren Hiller or 
the offensive line as much as a 

72
00:04:44,608 --> 00:04:47,200
realization that things just 
weren't working out. 

73
00:04:47,200 --> 00:04:50,600
And yeah, I think that 
ultimately what gets lost in the

74
00:04:50,600 --> 00:04:53,300
shuffle a little bit. 
When you look at the way that I 

75
00:04:53,300 --> 00:04:58,200
use offense, has performed over 
the last few years, really since

76
00:04:58,200 --> 00:05:02,300
the departure Caitlin de bourgh.
It's that when it's looked good,

77
00:05:02,300 --> 00:05:05,200
you go back and look at the 
numbers. 

78
00:05:05,200 --> 00:05:10,000
You look at the underlying 
statistics for it and it hasn't 

79
00:05:10,000 --> 00:05:13,700
been even when it's been good as
good as you might have thought 

80
00:05:13,707 --> 00:05:19,300
you know a lot of it in 2020 was
due to the magic of Michael 

81
00:05:19,300 --> 00:05:23,400
penix or the magic of the 
defense generating turnovers and

82
00:05:23,400 --> 00:05:26,000
getting excellent field position
for IU. 

83
00:05:26,000 --> 00:05:30,400
You know last year everything 
kind of went wrong and It was 

84
00:05:30,400 --> 00:05:33,600
clear that something was 
trending in the wrong direction,

85
00:05:33,600 --> 00:05:36,200
and I don't think that's 
entirely Darren Hiller's fault 

86
00:05:36,700 --> 00:05:41,100
or the offensive lines fault. 
I think Tom Allen in general has

87
00:05:41,100 --> 00:05:43,700
really struggled over the course
of his tenure. 

88
00:05:43,700 --> 00:05:48,800
If you look at it in the in the 
macro with having his offense be

89
00:05:48,800 --> 00:05:54,500
a consistent regular contributor
you take 2019 out of the picture

90
00:05:54,500 --> 00:05:58,100
and it's a very different 
landscape if you're not looking 

91
00:05:58,100 --> 00:06:02,700
at that year too. 
Balance out the kind of stodgy 

92
00:06:02,700 --> 00:06:05,700
offense under the first two 
years with Mike deboard and 

93
00:06:05,700 --> 00:06:08,600
certainly the offense the last 
two-and-a-half Seasons so far 

94
00:06:08,600 --> 00:06:13,600
under Nick Sheridan and now 
won't bail so my hope is that 

95
00:06:13,600 --> 00:06:19,000
perhaps this galvanizes the 
offensive line a little bit in 

96
00:06:19,000 --> 00:06:23,200
the offense in general you know 
and hate to see that have to 

97
00:06:23,200 --> 00:06:25,700
happen. 
But the reality is sometimes 

98
00:06:25,800 --> 00:06:29,000
sometimes and I'm not saying 
that it's going to happen here a

99
00:06:29,000 --> 00:06:33,700
shock to the system A jolt to 
the system by Will letting go of

100
00:06:33,700 --> 00:06:38,800
a coach as an accountability 
tactic can kind of snap the team

101
00:06:38,900 --> 00:06:43,000
into a position of focus. 
And they need that at this 

102
00:06:43,000 --> 00:06:48,000
point, as much as we hear from 
coaches about not hearing 

103
00:06:48,000 --> 00:06:49,900
outside distractions, I mean, 
whatever. 

104
00:06:50,000 --> 00:06:56,100
If I mean I had to me, the 
outside noise is rarely going to

105
00:06:56,100 --> 00:07:00,900
be as important as how teams are
actually performing. 

106
00:07:01,600 --> 00:07:06,600
Because ultimately, the outside 
noise is a reflection of what's 

107
00:07:06,600 --> 00:07:11,200
going on with the team, not the 
cause of what's going on with 

108
00:07:11,200 --> 00:07:13,400
the team. 
And I think in this case, 

109
00:07:14,000 --> 00:07:17,800
ultimately, this IU team has 
just struggled with basic 

110
00:07:17,800 --> 00:07:21,200
execution and that was even 
something that was brought up 

111
00:07:21,400 --> 00:07:24,000
over the course of a couple of 
press conferences this week is 

112
00:07:24,000 --> 00:07:29,200
this idea that the execution 
thing Is the aspect that has to 

113
00:07:29,200 --> 00:07:32,900
be focused on. 
And that's really the only hope 

114
00:07:33,100 --> 00:07:38,300
at this stage that that IU is 
going to be somehow able to turn

115
00:07:38,300 --> 00:07:44,300
things around and figure out 
exactly what it needs to do to 

116
00:07:44,300 --> 00:07:45,800
be better. 
I mean, there was a statistic 

117
00:07:45,800 --> 00:07:50,200
that popped up a couple of days 
ago, which looked at o-line run,

118
00:07:50,200 --> 00:07:56,500
push and of the 66 power, five 
teams the worst team in in 

119
00:07:56,500 --> 00:07:58,700
power. 
I've football this year in 

120
00:07:58,700 --> 00:08:00,800
offensive line, run, push is 
Iowa. 

121
00:08:01,000 --> 00:08:04,100
Which if you've been reading any
about Iowa's offense, that's not

122
00:08:04,100 --> 00:08:08,100
surprising, but the second-worst
is Indiana and they ranked below

123
00:08:08,100 --> 00:08:11,000
Boston College, Kentucky, who 
struggled with that this year, 

124
00:08:11,000 --> 00:08:13,100
Virginia Tech, Iowa, State 
Northwestern. 

125
00:08:13,400 --> 00:08:19,800
I mean it's just really been a 
disaster on the offensive front 

126
00:08:19,800 --> 00:08:22,300
for IU. 
I don't know if that can be 

127
00:08:22,300 --> 00:08:24,900
changed, you know? 
There was, there was a lot of 

128
00:08:25,000 --> 00:08:28,200
conversation over the course of 
Of the year. 

129
00:08:28,200 --> 00:08:31,000
It's like Rod carry the new 
head, the new offensive line 

130
00:08:31,000 --> 00:08:34,100
coach and Run game. 
Coordinator essentially said in 

131
00:08:34,100 --> 00:08:36,900
a press conference and I'm not a
miracle worker when it comes to 

132
00:08:36,900 --> 00:08:39,799
fixing the offensive line but 
you know, he's going to do the 

133
00:08:39,799 --> 00:08:42,100
best that he can and I think he 
realizes something that we 

134
00:08:42,100 --> 00:08:46,100
talked about on Sunday. 
This is not a simple fix and 

135
00:08:46,100 --> 00:08:48,300
this is probably a fixed. 
It's going to have to take 

136
00:08:48,600 --> 00:08:51,100
multiple years. 
I think expecting Indiana to 

137
00:08:51,100 --> 00:08:53,500
come out and have a completely 
different approach to the 

138
00:08:53,500 --> 00:08:56,900
offensive line, you know on 
Saturday against. 

139
00:08:57,000 --> 00:09:00,100
And or next week against Rutgers
or even, you know, by November 

140
00:09:00,100 --> 00:09:03,400
5th when they play Penn State, 
it's just probably not 

141
00:09:03,600 --> 00:09:06,900
reasonable to expect that. 
What is reasonable though? 

142
00:09:06,900 --> 00:09:13,100
I think is for the offense as a 
whole to, they've got to figure 

143
00:09:13,100 --> 00:09:18,000
out a way to put some points on 
the board consistently and 

144
00:09:18,300 --> 00:09:20,600
figure out some different ways 
of doing the things that they've

145
00:09:20,600 --> 00:09:22,700
been trying to do. 
Over the course of the first six

146
00:09:22,700 --> 00:09:25,700
weeks of the season because it 
just hasn't been adequate and 

147
00:09:25,800 --> 00:09:30,300
ultimately Yeah, I think the 
reason the move gets made now 

148
00:09:30,300 --> 00:09:33,500
and the reason why you know, 
there's so much urgency to make 

149
00:09:33,500 --> 00:09:36,600
a move is that the season is 
still in the balance. 

150
00:09:36,600 --> 00:09:38,800
I you can still make a bowl 
game. 

151
00:09:38,900 --> 00:09:42,800
It it's not going to be a 
disaster of a season, even if 

152
00:09:42,800 --> 00:09:44,900
they get to five and seven. 
But there's still two wins away 

153
00:09:44,900 --> 00:09:49,200
from five and seven. 
And that is where Indiana's got 

154
00:09:49,200 --> 00:09:50,600
to figure out a way to make it 
work. 

155
00:09:50,700 --> 00:09:55,200
So they go into this game 
against Maryland and Maryland 

156
00:09:55,200 --> 00:09:57,100
presents. 
Some very interesting problems 

157
00:09:57,100 --> 00:10:00,900
if you Red bite-sized bison, the
Weekly Newsletter by Taylor. 

158
00:10:00,900 --> 00:10:04,700
Layman I would suggest checking 
that out as he had some pretty 

159
00:10:04,700 --> 00:10:08,400
interesting insights into this 
Maryland team and what they do. 

160
00:10:08,400 --> 00:10:12,100
And what sorts of things I, you 
needs to be keeping an eye on, 

161
00:10:12,700 --> 00:10:14,900
you know, overall, you look at 
this Maryland team and they've 

162
00:10:14,900 --> 00:10:19,000
been pretty impressive over the 
course of the season, in terms 

163
00:10:19,000 --> 00:10:22,100
of, you know, what they've 
accomplished and even when they 

164
00:10:22,100 --> 00:10:25,100
fall in short, they haven't 
fallen short by huge amounts 

165
00:10:25,100 --> 00:10:27,900
they therefore and to on the 
Year. 

166
00:10:28,100 --> 00:10:30,500
And you know, this is a team 
that should easily get to boil 

167
00:10:30,500 --> 00:10:33,800
durability because they still 
have Northwestern and Rutgers at

168
00:10:33,800 --> 00:10:37,300
home. 
That's, I mean, those are two 

169
00:10:37,500 --> 00:10:38,500
games. 
I think that they're going to 

170
00:10:38,500 --> 00:10:41,300
win pretty easily, they should 
have beaten Purdue last week. 

171
00:10:41,300 --> 00:10:44,000
The kind of let that one get 
away, they were very competitive

172
00:10:44,000 --> 00:10:47,600
when they went up and played at 
Michigan, you know? 

173
00:10:47,600 --> 00:10:50,000
So this is a Maryland team that 
brings some interesting things 

174
00:10:50,000 --> 00:10:52,400
to the table. 
You know, you look at where 

175
00:10:52,400 --> 00:10:55,100
Maryland has been best overall 
throughout the course of the 

176
00:10:55,100 --> 00:10:59,500
season and it says Taylor said 
it is newsletter, you know, 

177
00:10:59,500 --> 00:11:02,100
they've been very impressive at 
times through the air. 

178
00:11:02,100 --> 00:11:06,200
And when you talk about 
Maryland's aerial attack, you're

179
00:11:06,200 --> 00:11:11,000
talking about tala Title, VII 
Aloha who he's completing. 74 

180
00:11:11,000 --> 00:11:14,100
percent of his passes. 
This year, 11 touchdowns to five

181
00:11:14,100 --> 00:11:18,900
interceptions over 1700 yards 
passing that is going to be an 

182
00:11:18,900 --> 00:11:22,400
interesting one for this. 
I you team because clearly I you

183
00:11:22,400 --> 00:11:27,400
secondary has struggled when it 
has mattered in Center these 

184
00:11:27,500 --> 00:11:30,300
Particularly the Cincinnati game
and the Nebraska game. 

185
00:11:30,300 --> 00:11:34,100
Now, they did play better last 
week as they took on the 

186
00:11:35,400 --> 00:11:39,000
Michigan Wolverines. 
But even that was to some degree

187
00:11:39,000 --> 00:11:43,100
undone by a lack of support on 
the offensive side of the ball 

188
00:11:43,300 --> 00:11:47,700
for what the defense was doing. 
This is where ultimately, it's 

189
00:11:47,700 --> 00:11:50,600
been more of a systems failure 
for Indiana than anything else. 

190
00:11:52,200 --> 00:11:55,300
You know, you'll get go in. 
You look at the, you know, some 

191
00:11:55,300 --> 00:11:58,900
of the individual areas. 
Has just under water right now, 

192
00:11:58,900 --> 00:12:01,500
in terms of points allowed 
versus Point scored. 

193
00:12:01,500 --> 00:12:03,900
They're averaging 24 points a 
game. 

194
00:12:03,900 --> 00:12:07,500
They're letting up almost 31 
Maryland's, the opposite they're

195
00:12:07,500 --> 00:12:12,900
scoring 34 and they're allowing 
22 and Maryland's gaining about 

196
00:12:12,900 --> 00:12:17,100
a hundred yards more per game 
than Indiana is while allowing 

197
00:12:17,100 --> 00:12:18,700
about 50 yards. 
Less. 

198
00:12:18,700 --> 00:12:24,800
So right now, despite it being 
at home, Indiana is an 11 and a 

199
00:12:24,800 --> 00:12:30,100
half Point Underdog and You 
know, there's still you know 

200
00:12:30,100 --> 00:12:33,000
they played well defensively 
last week but the reality is 

201
00:12:33,000 --> 00:12:36,700
they're still going to likely be
missing cam Jones, their 

202
00:12:36,700 --> 00:12:41,700
talismanic middle linebacker and
they're likely still going to be

203
00:12:41,708 --> 00:12:44,600
missing DJ Matthews on offense 
or at least he would be limited 

204
00:12:44,600 --> 00:12:48,400
due to injury. 
So where does Indiana, you know,

205
00:12:48,400 --> 00:12:51,300
how do they win this game? 
What is it that Indiana has to 

206
00:12:51,300 --> 00:12:53,300
do in order to be able to be 
successful? 

207
00:12:53,600 --> 00:12:58,500
Ultimately for me, Indiana, has 
to play its Defensive game of 

208
00:12:58,500 --> 00:13:01,300
the year. 
They you know, until the offense

209
00:13:01,300 --> 00:13:05,100
can get under against feet under
it and until the offense can 

210
00:13:05,100 --> 00:13:08,800
figure out something 
consistently over the course of 

211
00:13:08,800 --> 00:13:12,000
multiple quarters, in terms of 
either getting a running game 

212
00:13:12,000 --> 00:13:14,800
going mean, I may be getting 
more jail and Lucas out there 

213
00:13:14,800 --> 00:13:19,200
may be getting more Josh 
Henderson out there you know or 

214
00:13:19,200 --> 00:13:22,200
until the defense is able to 
generate the turnovers that they

215
00:13:22,200 --> 00:13:25,000
desperately need in order to 
flip field position and give 

216
00:13:25,000 --> 00:13:28,800
their offense, a shorter field. 
You know that goes those to me, 

217
00:13:28,800 --> 00:13:32,900
are the main areas where Indiana
might be able to be successful 

218
00:13:32,900 --> 00:13:37,600
in this game. 
Maryland is they've yet to show 

219
00:13:37,900 --> 00:13:41,500
that they are able to stop 
opposing offenses. 

220
00:13:41,500 --> 00:13:44,200
Consistently in the Big Ten with
the exception of Michigan state 

221
00:13:44,200 --> 00:13:46,500
who's got its own set of 
problems, you know. 

222
00:13:46,500 --> 00:13:50,100
But Purdue was able to able to 
find ways on the road against 

223
00:13:50,100 --> 00:13:54,500
Maryland to pick at their 
defense and put themselves in a 

224
00:13:54,500 --> 00:13:57,800
position where they were able to
do have a lead at the But the 

225
00:13:57,800 --> 00:14:00,700
game and hold off what Marilyn 
was trying to do. 

226
00:14:02,000 --> 00:14:03,300
I don't know if Indiana can do 
that. 

227
00:14:03,300 --> 00:14:05,100
We, you know, we saw them to 
some degree. 

228
00:14:05,100 --> 00:14:07,900
Pull that formula off against 
Illinois. 

229
00:14:07,900 --> 00:14:09,700
They were able to stick around 
in the game. 

230
00:14:09,700 --> 00:14:11,900
They were able to make that 
drive towards the end. 

231
00:14:12,300 --> 00:14:15,900
You know, it is that a 
comparable game, you know, the 

232
00:14:15,900 --> 00:14:19,500
Illinois and Maryland are kind 
of comparable teams in terms of 

233
00:14:19,500 --> 00:14:21,900
what they've been able to 
accomplish so far this season? 

234
00:14:22,200 --> 00:14:25,900
You know, Maryland, I think it's
clearly not as good as Michigan 

235
00:14:25,900 --> 00:14:30,600
state, but I think they're also 
clearly better than Nebraska and

236
00:14:30,600 --> 00:14:32,700
they're probably about on Our 
with Illinois. 

237
00:14:33,200 --> 00:14:36,700
I just worry about the 
implications of when this game 

238
00:14:36,700 --> 00:14:38,900
is being played. 
I think Illinois to some degree 

239
00:14:39,300 --> 00:14:42,300
that win for Indiana. 
Give them all credit for it, but

240
00:14:42,300 --> 00:14:45,600
they to some degree got caught, 
flat-footed Illinois. 

241
00:14:45,600 --> 00:14:48,900
Did without a lot of tape on IU 
or understanding what they're 

242
00:14:48,900 --> 00:14:51,600
going to do. 
That's gone Indiana's. 

243
00:14:51,600 --> 00:14:55,900
The other six games of Indiana 
on tape now and it's clear that 

244
00:14:55,900 --> 00:14:58,800
opposing defenses. 
Have been able to diagnose what 

245
00:14:58,800 --> 00:15:01,500
Indiana's able to do and where 
their deficiencies have been 

246
00:15:01,800 --> 00:15:03,500
Especially in the offensive 
line. 

247
00:15:03,500 --> 00:15:07,800
So all said, I mean it's not a 
whole lot else to say about this

248
00:15:07,800 --> 00:15:11,400
because ultimately Indiana's 
going to have to play. 

249
00:15:11,400 --> 00:15:14,800
I think the best game that they 
played all year to be able to 

250
00:15:14,800 --> 00:15:17,300
have a chance at slowing down 
Marilyn and I think that that's 

251
00:15:17,300 --> 00:15:19,300
going to have to start with the 
defense. 

252
00:15:19,300 --> 00:15:22,800
So you know, I think if Indiana 
ends up with fewer than three 

253
00:15:22,800 --> 00:15:27,500
turnovers generated in this 
game, I don't if they can't get 

254
00:15:27,500 --> 00:15:30,500
to that I don't see a route to 
Victory because I just don't 

255
00:15:30,500 --> 00:15:33,200
think that this offense is Going
to be able to generate enough on

256
00:15:33,200 --> 00:15:38,000
its own to put. 
Are you in a position to win and

257
00:15:38,000 --> 00:15:41,700
I hope I'm wrong. 
I hope this IU team is able to 

258
00:15:41,700 --> 00:15:45,800
figure out some magic sauce 
that, you know, puts them in a 

259
00:15:45,900 --> 00:15:48,700
position where they're in it in 
the fourth quarter and they're 

260
00:15:48,700 --> 00:15:53,000
able to pull out a victory. 
I just at this point, I'd be 

261
00:15:53,000 --> 00:15:55,100
surprised because Maryland 
really does feel like they're 

262
00:15:55,100 --> 00:15:59,700
putting together a season that 
is impressive by their standards

263
00:15:59,700 --> 00:16:01,500
and impressive by Indiana 
standards. 

264
00:16:01,600 --> 00:16:04,200
So, I do think it'll be somewhat
close for a little bit. 

265
00:16:04,200 --> 00:16:07,600
I think in the, an old play, 
fairly well at home early on. 

266
00:16:08,000 --> 00:16:11,200
So I'm going to say, you know, I
think ultimately this game ends 

267
00:16:11,200 --> 00:16:14,600
up being a Maryland Victory by 
probably two touchdowns. 

268
00:16:14,600 --> 00:16:20,200
So we'll say 34 to 20, as the 
final score with Marilyn coming 

269
00:16:20,200 --> 00:16:23,700
away with the Victory. 
And, you know, if that's the 

270
00:16:23,700 --> 00:16:25,500
right, the scenario that 
happens. 

271
00:16:25,500 --> 00:16:29,000
Then that really puts I you with
their backs up against the wall 

272
00:16:29,000 --> 00:16:33,100
for the rest of the season, as 
you know, I think any path to a 

273
00:16:33,100 --> 00:16:38,600
bowl or at least boils ability 
has to go through a win in this 

274
00:16:38,600 --> 00:16:43,100
game for Indiana and I just I'm 
having a hard time seeing it 

275
00:16:43,100 --> 00:16:46,500
right now, but we'll keep our 
fingers crossed that I use 

276
00:16:46,500 --> 00:16:49,600
actually able to pull it off. 
Anyway, quick preview, this 

277
00:16:49,600 --> 00:16:53,100
week, some unusual recording 
circumstances is some technical 

278
00:16:53,100 --> 00:16:56,400
issues have faced as the last 
couple of days.
