The Hoosiers moved to 2-0 on the season with a convincing 80-35 win over the Montana State Bobcats.  The schedule will get more challenging next week with a home game against Marquette and a road contest at Arkansas, but on this night IU put forth a complete effort. Friday night’s contest was dominated by IU for most of the game, with the Hoosiers holding a lead of 30 or more points for the last 18 minutes of the game.  Several big runs in the first half and beginning of the second half put the game out of reach.

It feels like an eternity since Indiana has played a football game.  The Hoosiers are coming off a bye week after a demoralizing loss at Minnesota two weeks ago. It felt appropriate to call that game in Minneapolis a “must win” but with two home games remaining, that characterization was debatable.  Now, with IU needing two wins to reach bowl eligibility and a trip to Ann Arbor tucked in between those two home contests — it is undeniable — Indiana must defeat Maryland.
