Semifinal No. 2: Indiana vs. Oregon

[twes.305]

This what happens when u can’t run the ball.

 

[major kong]

You can’t learn anything about Indiana from this game. Oregon’s implosion caused this, not Indiana. Bring them on.

You can learn they play good, smart, disciplined football and have some good players. Can't play sloppy, unfocused, penalty filled football against them.

 

[WndyCityCane]

We going to be 7 plus point dogs at home

12 plus?

 

[FrancisSawyer]

This reminds me a little of the 83 title game vs the Nebraska Cornhuskers. In terms of the hype for Indiana and the fact that we will play at home.

 

[TerragonSix]

Yup some kinda mix of 2001 canes, 2019 LSU, and one of those 1940s army teams with the four horsemen… with the QB being a better burrow, Vince young, and cam newton mix

Im okay with Cam Newton comparison if Mendoza bytches out of recovering a fumble like he did.

 

[KingCane20]

Oregon with Nikes unlimited resources only to get blowed out...I go to Oregon only for the gear..Those mf's will never win anything...

 

[AboutTheU05]

35 - 7 at the half in CFP semi-finals, must be a record. This is some ****.

Uh no, I’m pretty sure Oregon was in this exact situation in the playoffs last year.

 

[Stingarov]

On the flip side we are battle tested. They haven’t been in a tight game in a while.

This is the 2002 game in reverse.

OSU was battle tested.

We were sleepwalking past Rutgers.

Now we're battle tested.

 

[dorsey1]

Totally unprepared, with two coordinators looking ahead to their next jobs. Plus the injuries and portal. This team is just not at this level right now. Was really hoping they'd pull off a miracle bc we'd steamroll them too. Now I hope they at least make IU compete, but that's not likely.

Oregon faithful gonna be putting Lanning on blast after this disgraceful performance-

On the flip side we are battle tested. They haven’t been in a tight game in a while.

Wonder if these mature, seasoned 23 and 24 year old Iu players can develop an inflated sense of confidence if they win by 50 tonight. Hmm…

 

[PIPO]

Two different paths:

• @ Texas A&M
• beat last year's champion as a 10pt dog
• controlled the game against Ole Miss, won in heroic fashion

IU

• Dominated
• Dominated

We won't be scared and ready for anything

We are definitely more battle tested.

 

[RealRussellPumps]

We won’t have to worry about anyone feeding us rat poison for the next ten days

Good. You know the talking heads are going to be gargling Indianas nuts all week. Just heard an announcer say Indiana is starting to feel like 2019 LSU. Give us all the fuel please.

 

[WndyCityCane]

Biggest spread in any college championship game?

 

[Canesrule230]

Moore is clearly shook

 

[Number1CanesFan]

It sucks that Indiana will be able to rest their starters in the 2nd half.

 

[BeastMode]

Indiana stunts a lot. Oline better be ready

 

[Canefan4life]

Indiana clearly good.. but Oregon’s has quit

 

[Handsome Squidbum]

lol

It's already started

Good.

 

[cindysam]

How long until the national media starts questioning Lanning and building narratives around him the way they have built narratives around Mario?

 

[ZCanes]

Indiana does look good, but they beat a **** Alabama team and despite this impressive performance vs Oregon, the ducks aren’t anything special.
Indiana will face us after cruising two weeks in a row, while we have been in knife fights for the last 3 weeks vs teams that are better than any they’ve faced in the playoffs thus far.
