Today was one of the most exciting football days that I could ever remember, especially for IU fans. We played Northwestern in Evanston this afternoon with the possibility of going 6-0 for this first time since 1967. It was supposed to be an easy win for us, but I was nervous all morning. Northwestern may have been last in the Big Ten standings and we may have been a two-touchdown favorite, but I was too scared to believe it.
Northwestern's offense played the best that they had all season and hung tight to the Hoosiers throughout the third quarter. My anxiety was at a ten. Thankfully, we pulled ahead during the final quarter and our defense made a few stops as well. IU ended the game with a 42 to 24 victory making them the first FBS team this season to be bowl eligible. All of the Hoosier fans in our family were ecstatic. Cameron had predicted at the end of last season that we would win 9 games. We all thought he was crazy, but after today, I believe that it could be a reality.
IU's win wasn't the only good football news on the night. First Alabama got beat by an unranked Vanderbilt team, then both Michigan and Tennessee fell to the same fate. If someone would have told us how the first six weeks of the football season would start, no one would have never believed it. I can't wait to see what happens next.
