An IU football kickoff at noon has become the norm on Saturdays and today was no exception. The odds makers had us winning by a touchdown, but Cameron was positive that it would be more than that. Doug and I weren't quite as sure, although Michigan State had looked awful against Iowa last week, so we knew that there was hope. The Spartans held the Hoosiers scoreless on the first several offensive runs, but eventually IU broke through and scored at the end of the first quarter. I thought that it would be a lot like last year, a nail bitter, down to the wire kind of game, but Michigan State never got the ball inside of IU's 35 yard line. Thus, it was pretty easy for the Hoosiers to hold them scoreless, and even though Penix threw two interceptions this afternoon, IU ended the game on top 24-0. With that size margin I believe that we would have turned the game if it was anyone but the Hoosiers on the screen.
It has been strange to watch IU dominant their opponents and win big games this season, but definitely something that we could get used to seeing. As we started talking about next weekend's match-up against Ohio State, Cameron sent me the text below. If that doesn't some up our car rides to and from Bethany, nothing does. Love it and his enthusiasm for IU football.
