As we wait for the 2021 rematch, take a look back at an IU win for the ages. Indiana opened the 2020 season with its first win over a top 10 team in 33 years.  In a fourth quarter and overtime that had enough drama for an entire season, IU stunned No. 8 Penn State 36-35.

The ruling on the field was a…

Much was made about the wave of Indiana players who put their names in the transfer portal in the days that followed the firing of former head coach Archie Miller.  There was a new entry seemingly every day as a cloud of uncertainty hovered over the program. Some stayed, some left, but all made an understandable decision to make sure they knew what their options were in the event they weren’t happy with the new coach, or weren’t welcomed back.  We simply live in a different era.  Blind loyalty to the name on the front of the jersey is largely…
