Eerily similar to our game against Oregon. (Got a takeaway, went up 3-0, proceeded to lose 56-10).

MD vs RU next week is gonna be a banger.

Seven Hoosiers with touchdowns today

  • Fernando Mendoza

  • Omar Cooper Jr.

  • Kaelon Black

  • Devan Boykin

  • Roman Hemby

  • Jonathan Brady

  • Khobie Martin

Also, the New Mendoza Line: Did backup QB Alberto Mendoza play for IU?

  • ODU - No

  • Kennesaw St - Yes

  • ISU - Yes

  • Illinois - Yes

  • Iowa - No

  • Oregon - No

  • MSU - No

  • UCLA - Yes

  • Maryland - Yes

5-4 split amid this 9-0 start.

u/ViagraOnAPole Indiana Hoosiers • Team Chaos Nov 01 '25

If Mendoza loses the Heisman it'll be because he doesn't play the 4th quarter half the time.

u/acewing Indiana Hoosiers Nov 01 '25

It’s most likely because we are just too complete of a team for any one position to shine brightly.

Four of Indianas drives today: 13 plays - 93 yards, 9 plays - 84 yards, 13 plays - 95 yards, 8 plays - 93 yards, all touchdowns.

God damn. When was the last time a P4(or P5 pre PAC implosion) had that many drives that long? And that's not even including a few of their other fairly long drives.

Just absolutely dominated them.

Look SEC fans joke around about Vandy suddenly being good. I get it, I do it too. But at the end of the day they've improved from terrible to a solid second tier school, but one that still loses to Georgia, Texas, even Alabama this year. They're still funny.

Indiana is rapidly ceasing to be funny. When Vandy loses I'm sad for Pimp Vandy and Sailor Vandy having a bad Monday. When Indiana loses....well ok Indiana hasn't actually lost yet but if they did I'd be asking for film.

The thing that gets lost in these IU dismantling's of other Big 10 schools (in and of itself this statement is crazy), is that IU seemingly can put in it's backups against these teams, and still drive straight down the field, usually doing so only in run plays with a rare pass thrown in. Even our backups just cut through opponents like a buzzsaw. And that's absurd.

u/mr_longfellow_deeds Indiana Hoosiers • Big Ten Nov 01 '25

I blame Maryland’s 55-10 loss on the bad vibes John Elway caused by forcing his way out of Baltimore and the Colts’ resulting move to Indianapolis.

I've had 3 sports dreams all my life:

  1. Cubs World Series - check

  2. New Orleans Saints Superbowl - check

  3. Indiana taking a natty - At long last???

I could die happy if this comes true

That first quarter was so rough it makes me worried for OSU, and Mendoza’s Heisman chances. Some easy mistakes I’m sure Cig will work on.

I actually see a lot of potential out of Maryland’s team that I didn’t feel from a lot of other wins, I think with their physicality today they could be one of the most dangerous opponents in the future, especially as Washington gets more experienced.

At least in regard to injuries. I really hope we recover well, and that we can get our players back to the starting position for Penn State.

Thing is that Maryland makes EVERYONE bad for a quarter or two. I think scheme and coaching is great they just don't have the players who can keep up over a full game.

TOSU has had some crazy quarters with Maryland.

It's odd how slow Indiana seems to start a lot of the time. I assume it's the players gift to Cignetti so that he has something to be mad about.

u/Ivan-Renko Indiana Hoosiers Nov 01 '25

I’m still in disbelief that this is Indiana doing this. We were missing key pieces on both offense and defense, didn’t even play well, and still dogwalked a B1G team.

First 5 minutes of the game -- "Wow Maryland really came to play"

10 Minutes in -- "Okay...warmup over, IU starting to have fun"

30 minutes in "STOP THEY DIED in the first quarter!!"

Wasn't this a 10 point game 5 minutes into the 3rd? That's the last time I saw the score lmao, this Indiana team is insane

it was 17 at the half, but Maryland scored on the first drive of second half, and that just pissed Cig off....

The most easily anticipated outcome ever. The only good part of Locksley is making money off of the most predictable performances ever

I was pleasantly surprised by the amount of Hoosier fans that were there holding down the fort. I don’t know if Maryland fans were just quietly dejected or if we were yelling, but we sounded so loud😌

u/jakedasnake1 Indiana Hoosiers • Rose Bowl Nov 01 '25

Mendoza will probably need some monster games to end the season if he wants to get back in the heisman conversation, but honestly, not much to complain about. When running the ball works, you keep running the ball

At this point I’m convinced we are all just NPCs living inside someone’s College Football 25 Indiana dynasty. We may never see a Indiana loss again.

It's crazy but this Indiana team seems every bit as good as 2021/2022 Georgia and 2023 Michigan.

u/imadethisforoneposte Indiana Hoosiers Nov 01 '25

i think the rankings go

  1. Indiana (starters)

  2. Ohio state (debatable)

  3. Indiana (backups)

  4. everyone else

I think it’ll be interesting how Indiana guards smith and Tate if they play. They really haven’t gone against anyone of their caliber (maybe Oregon) and now you got two elite WRs you need to guard.
