This is what it looks like when a bunch of overpaid 4 and 5 star individuals meets a real team. Belt to ***...
Oregon v Indiana
- Thread starter RBigredMax1
- Start date
Raiola is chewing his nails watching this game because he will not be going to Oregon. Moore needs more polish.
He went out and acquired the right 15 guys. They aren’t five stars.
Do you think Cignetti ever considered hiring a high school intern to coach his wide receivers? Because that’s what a high-level coach would do.
FYI in 2025 transfer portal Indiana was rated 25th by 247,

Up 49-15 in fourth Q and running your QB on a zone read. Not sure why Mendoza isn't sitting.
Break their neck mentality. Wish we had it.
In addition to all the other myths that Indiana is breaking, they are beating one of the best Big Ten teams twice in a season.
They don't take out the starters if they can help it, just part of Cignetti's belief system.
At least NU isn't the only team that gets blown out in big games. Last 2 playoffs Oregon has been blown out.
The best compliment I can give these Cignetti coached teams is that they execute and play every down.
They will play every down like it is the most important down of every game. They are ultimately prepared, and they execute and play for those 5 to 10 seconds on every play.
This is quite likely the best coached team I have ever seen. This isn't a lineup loaded with future NFL players. Just a lot of really good players knowing what to do and playing for one another.

Message board guy is questioning the tactics of a 26-2 coach at Indiana.
I do love the interwebz.
These are players that any team could have got...
But Rhule made sure to get Juedy...unreal.
He won the portal to fill in the gaps in their roster. Getting Mendoza was huge.
I have a friend whose nephew starts at Indiana right now. He transferred in this year. He was a walk on out of high school. He was okay at his previous school but looks NFL bound now.
And Mendoza will be the overall # 1 draft pick. I think it was kakdawg who commented about Mendoza previously and how he liked him last year. When you have “that guy” you have a chance to be really good. Mendoza was outstanding last night with his arm and legs. Indiana’s WRs made some insane catches as well with DBs all over them.
I think Mendoza goes #1. Moore will probably be a first rounder even with his poor showing last night but I think it’s debatable if he should enter the draft.
Don't know about that. For all we know, Indiana overpaid for each and every one of them. We don't have Cuban money. And on top of that, even if Rhule could have gotten them, he'd then have to coach them all up which he's shown he cannot do.
But but stars matter
. One thing I’ll continue to wonder about is what effect COVID had on the evaluation and recruitment of players back in those 2019-2020 high school classes. No doubt it affected the 2021 high school recruiting as well. I said back then that there were going to be a LOT of great players fall through the cracks and wind up at lower tier schools.I saw an interview of Indiana’s center from last year. He had declared for the draft but he said the NIL offer Cignetti made him made him stay. Said he would have been a fool to turn down the offer. He played in 54 games and started 52 of them at Indiana.
If you have guys making NFL rosters and are not sniffing the CFB playoffs...you are a loser program. And your entire season is based on NU.Make an NFL roster.Oh, and annually beat Nebraska.
You need to go into the portal with that dog face of a wife you have.
sorry that’s Hawkins - my apologies. I’m sure your husband is very handsome.
