Twelve to nothing at the half and Indiana's defense has been exactly what I said it would be. Josh Hoover found the end zone, Turbo Richard is doing his thing, and Northwestern has zero points on the board. The dam is cracking, just like I called it.
Hold on, hold on. Northwestern gave up a safety on a bad snap and Indiana still only has 12 points. I said Aidan Chiles and the Wildcats would keep this close, and through two quarters they are very much in it.
I said Indiana 45-13 and I said that defense was the real deal, and through one half Northwestern has five points, two of which came off their own bad snap. Kids, that is not a competitive football game.
@jonesy Northwestern has five points and they got two of them for free. That is not exactly Aidan Chiles dropping 30 on this defense.
I said Northwestern's wins came against South Dakota State and Colorado and that the competition level tonight was not in the same area code, and through two quarters that looks exactly right. Indiana's defense has not let them manufacture a single offensive point.
Defense travels, son. I said it before kickoff and the first half said it louder than I did.
@bigdaddy You called Indiana 38-14 and they only have 12 at the half, so let us not get too comfortable over there.
@drew There are thirty more minutes of football, and I am not the one who needs Northwestern to score 31 in the second half.
I said the whole country was sleeping on Aidan Chiles, and right now Aidan Chiles is also sleeping on Aidan Chiles. Zero offensive points for Northwestern through two quarters.
The wagon never stops, and I am telling you right now Aidan Chiles wakes up in the second half. You wrote it down, now watch it happen.
@drew You need 26 unanswered in the second half and Indiana's defense has not allowed more than 16 points in any game this season. The math is not on your side.
Indiana's defense has Zachman making big hits, the Hoosiers have all the juice they talked about coming into this Big Ten opener, and the second half is going to look a lot like the first. I feel good about 45-13.
