Final thoughts from Indiana's Week 8 win over Michigan State

Rain fell hard on Memorial Stadium Saturday, but it didn’t put out the fire that’s been burning inside the Indiana football program. One week after conquering then-No. 3 Oregon on the road in one of the biggest wins in school history, the No. 3 Hoosiers came home and did exactly what great teams are supposed to do — take care of business. Indiana’s 38–13 dismantling of Michigan State pushed the Hoosiers to 7–0, kept them firmly in the College Football Playoff conversation and made one thing abundantly clear: Fernando Mendoza isn’t just a Heisman contender — he might be the favorite. Here are my final thoughts from a rain-filled win for the Hoosiers over the Spartans.
