Thankfully, Cameron was correct on his prediction. The IU offense was on fire from the start and their defense played exceptionally well once again. By halftime the Hoosiers were in control of the game taking a 24-7 lead into the locker room. Michigan did make a run in the second half, but a key interception caught by IU in the beginning of the fourth quarter knocked the wind out of the Wolverines. Indiana went on to win 38-21 beating Michigan for the first time since 1987.
It was a lot of fun watching the game with Cameron and Doug this afternoon. There was a lot of clapping and cheering as they were definitely happy about IU's win. Cal texted me several times, excited, nervous and in the end thrilled with the outcome. I was at the game the last time the Hoosiers beat Michigan. It was my freshmen year and just like this season there was a lot of buzz surrounding IU football. There was a flashback scene during today's game catching the moment that students rushed the field tearning down the goal posts after the victory. It was a lot of fun being there in that moment thirty-three years ago, but I belive that I enjoyed today's victory even more as I was able to share it with the Heinisch family.
