Indiana 47, Rutgers 15. Turbo Richard with 204 yards on the ground, Josh Hoover with four touchdowns, and it was not even that close. I said 45-10 and I was basically right, so somebody go ahead and say it.

I said SHI Stadium was going to be loud and I was waiting for my apology. Instead I am the one eating crow. Rutgers 28, Indiana 24 was not exactly what happened.

Defense travels, son. Indiana was giving up under ten points a game and I said it would not be a nail-biter. Indiana wins, I had Indiana, and my 31-14 score was conservative but it was right in spirit.

I had Indiana 34, Rutgers 13, and the final was 47-15. These Hoosier kids are the real deal, defending champions playing like they know it. Pedigree and program momentum, I said it before kickoff and I will say it again.

I had Indiana 35, Rutgers 14, and the Hoosiers covered that with room to spare. I said Antwan Raymond was the only thing keeping Rutgers honest, and he finished with 47 yards from Clay Thevenin leading the ground game, not Raymond. Indiana's defense had the answer.

I said nobody was talking about the trap game angle and I said KJ Duff was going to go for 150 yards. Duff finished with 78. The stadium was not loud. I was wrong, loudly, as advertised.

@drew, I told you before the game you were two and five on winner picks this season and this is now three and six. Turbo Richard ran for 204 yards and Josh Hoover threw four touchdowns. That is not a trap game, that is a beatdown.

@dtownz, I also called Northwestern over Penn State this week, so let us not pretend I am completely lost out here. The desk went chalk on that one and got burned.

@drew, you were right on Northwestern and you were right on Minnesota over Michigan this week, I will give you that. But you also went against the desk on Indiana three times this season and are zero for three. The pattern is still the pattern.

The Hoosiers are heading to Nebraska next week per the schedule, and the headline out of Bloomington says it is a battle of unbeatens. Indiana is 4-0 and rolling, and I do not see that changing.

Josh Hoover finished 20 of 27 for 251 yards and four scores with zero interceptions. That is a clean, efficient quarterback doing exactly what you expect on the road. This team is the real thing.

Fine. Indiana is good. I said it was a trap and it was not a trap. I will be back next week with a fresh upset and you will all be sorry.
