You have a tough schedule!

Why did you have 5 fourth down attempts? How did Roberson have -49 yards? Does it count the sacks as a rushing attempt? If it does, that's dumb.

Yes, yes I do.



Didn't want to punt/trusted my pathetic offense.



Sure does!

IU coach Smith offers 7 scholarships

Indiana first-year head coach Peter Smith has offered football scholarships to seven players. They are:

3-star tight end Phillip Doyle
2-star free safety Matt Murphy
2-star linebacker Cole Humphrey
2-star tight end Joshua Barrett
5-star wide recievers Joe Dockery and Randall Banks
3-star athlete Matt Ross

What position is Matt Ross? Does that mean he can play anywhere?

Yeah, your offense needs a little help. Good job trying to take care of that.

Indiana 23, Iowa State 17 (OT)

Nice, another overtime thriller!

Good luck versus Nebraska next game.

I love dynasty mode. I'm currently trying to rebuild the Idaho Vandals, moved them to the Mountain West, made the Mountain West a 12 team conference, gave them a Fiesta Bowl bid, and am 4-0, 3-0 in the MW, going into a home game against #6 Boise State, with an upset @ TCU. Run the Run and Shoot offense, lots of big plays come out of it. You've got to know how to run it though for it be successful, lots of hot routes and audibles are involved for it to work effectively. Recruiting is awful though. Good luck with the Hoosiers!

Also, what offense to you run. If its a vertical attack, use your THP QB, otherwise I'd go with Kiel for a West Coast style attack and the Lefty Scrambler for a non-vertical spread out attack.

#24 Nebraska 14, Indiana 7

Indiana lost again as Big Ten newcomer Nebraska defeated them in a low-scoring turnover battle. Nebraska's HB #22 ran for 89 yards and a score, caught a 31-yard TD pass from QB #3, and threw an interception from the Wildcat formation. MLB #51 of the Cornhuskers had 7 tackles and 1 interception.

Indiana was 4-12 on third downs and 1-4 on fourth downs.
