I have a lot of respect for Indiana. If I'm not mistaken, they were ranked fairly high in the pre-season. They have talent and depth too. Ferrel is doing a nice job running the team. Nothing but compliments for them. Except for their creepy coach.What you laid out is a formula to beat every team in the country. Which is good.
I'll say this, if you believed the Iowa Football team deserved respect this year, then you have to respect Indiana. They're winning their games, sometimes in convincing fashion. Winning on the road against anyone is tough. Just ask MSU.
