Quarter Length Back to Normal Heads Unusual NCAA Week

Indianapolis, IN - In a week with unusual announcements and huge upsets, it was announced that the NCAA is changing the quarter length back from 16 minutes to 15 minutes.

"It didn't produce the results that we wanted," said Christopher Wren, a member of the NCAA committee. "The fans didn't like it, the players didn't like it, and [the NCAA] didn't like it. It was a dumb move by us."

This might explain why so many records were set last week (four, to be exact). Most passing yards in a game, rushing yards in a game, rushing touchdowns in a game, and interceptions in a game were the records that were broken. "I'm fine with the new quarter length," said Taylor Potts, the Texas Tech quarterback who set the record for most passing yards in a game. "This new quarter length gives me more time to pass the ball. I know most people don't, but I think the change is good for the college football atmosphere." If you hadn't thrown for 750 yards, maybe you wouldn't feel the same way.

In other NCAA news, the award semifinalists were announced today, and a couple of Indiana players were on the list: Tim Alexander (6th in Bednarik, 3rd in the Dick Butkus award race), Tyler Replogle (7th in Bednarik), Chris Adkins and Donnell Jones (2nd and 3rd in the Thorpe Trophy race), Mitch Ewald (leading the race for the Lou Groza award), Chris Hagerup (11th in the Ray Guy award race), and Duwyce Wilson (11th in Returner of the Year).

"I can't believe I'm in two categories. I'm not that good. There are more deserving people than me to win the awards," Alexander told reporters yesterday. "I'm not even the best linebacker on our TEAM!"

"He's just too humble. He's a lot better than me," replied Replogle. "Sure, I have a lot of interceptions. But he has more tackles, more sacks, more tackles for loss, and he's smarter, faster, and stronger. How am I better?"

BCS Hopes Slipping Away as Offense Falls Apart

East Lansing, MI - In Indiana's loss to Michigan State this weekend, two things were apparent; Indiana's offense has a long way to go before it is one of the best in the country, and that Indiana has little chance of making a BCS Bowl game this year.

In order to make it to the Rose Bowl, they would have to upset Penn State on the road (like that'll happen), and then Indiana will have to beat Purdue at home, which is perfectly doable. "It will be tough, but I think we can win the Big 10 this year," said coach Anthony Thompson yesterday. "We are a very good team, and I feel that we are capable of upsetting the Nittany Lions."

The main reason Indiana's title hopes are slipping away is because their usually reliable offense fell apart yesterday. Their measly 19 points was a season low, and it was in part to a plethora of mistakes by Jammone Chester. He racked up a lot of stats, throwing for 200+ yards and two touchdowns, but his two interceptions came at the worst possible time; he threw both the interceptions inside the Spartans 15 yard line. "Every time we started driving down the field, I blew it for us," he commented after the game. "I made a bunch of rookie mistakes that were unnecessary, and I should have played better than I did."

Of course, the defense didn't hold up their end of the bargain either. Whenever you give up 42 points, something is wrong. "We suck. The only reason we win is because our offense is in beast mode right now," said Chris Adkins. "Beast mode" means that the offense is playing really well. "If we don't get this ship turned around, there are going to be some major changes on the defensive side of the coaching staff next year," said Tim Alexander. "I can sense it."

Indiana hopes to change their luck by beating Penn State next week.

Just play good, hard football against Penn State. Throw a few suprises at them maybe even some wildcat?

i've tried the wildcat, and problems occur. my RB can't throw worth shit and my offensive line sucks. jammone chester is an amazing receiver though.

but i agree. it's up to my defense to see how many points it can give up. the fewer, the better

Oklahoma Accuses Indiana of Recruiting Violation

Indianapolis, IN - It was reported yesterday that Oklahoma Sooners head coach Bob Stoops has accused Indiana head coach Anthony Thompson of secretly paying one of its recruits to play for them.

John Wilson, who had made a soft commitment to the Sooners, announced his decision to attend Indiana this coming fall after an on-campus visit. "I loved everything about Indiana," he said.

"Pardon my french, but that is absolute bullshit," said coach Stoops. "What in the name of the Lord would make you go to Indiana over Oklahoma? Nothing! Bullshit."

The Indiana Hoosiers refused to comment on the situation, so no other information is available as of this time.

Reader's Note: I know this was a shitty update, but I just wanted to get one in before I pass out. I was at a local YMCA for like 4 hours playing bball and running, so I'm tired as hell.

If you pick up the Auburn playbook and give that a run its pretty good for teams with no so great playbooks. My Texas Tech hasn't got the best O-Line but I can run the wildcat well running to the outside.

Who passes in the wildcat, haha.

:lulz:. i always do those fake handoffs-turned-passes. i've gotten 1 touchdown off of it (ncaa 09, but who cares), and the rest of the times it fails miserably. i haven't run it in a while.

i'll give it a shot. indiana's playbook is workin pretty well for me, but im open to anything that will let me win



i'll have the around the ncaa update tonight, and maybe recruiting. im not sure yet

....................................

My Purdue staff went down to Auburn for an offensive clinic and have since adopted their playbook. Mess around with different players in the Wildcat and you'll probably find some success even with a crappy o-line. Also run it on downs that it might not be expected. I like the QB screen on 2nd and long or 3rd and short. Defense will usually sit in zone on 2nd and will play man sometimes on 3rd. Remember, if you have a speedy guy who's going to throw it back to the Wildcat, running the ball is an option too.

thanks for the advice. i'll try that out for our next game


srry guys, i was gone yesterday. workin on an update now

Evidence Found in Indiana-Oklahoma Recruiting Case

Indianapolis, IN - A video was released yesterday that shows Anthony Thompson - head coach of the Indiana Hoosiers football team - paying highly-touted recruit John Wilson to come to Indiana.

"We film all of our recruiting sessions so we can evaluate how we did after we leave," said assistant coach Tim Fitzpatrick. "But I don't recall this video at all. Honestly, those people don't even look like us."

Tim Fitzpatrick hit that right on the money. This video has raised a lot of controversy because it looks as if the people in the video aren't real. "The recruit looks a lot like the Oklahoma Sooners's line coach and Anthony Thompson looks a lot like Bob Stoops. "This is crazy talk," said Stoops. "This is a real video. Honestly, what good would I get out of faking it? Money? No. Fame? Already have it. The recruit? They can't force him to come here. It's a lose-lose situation."

He does have a good point. But even though all the evidence is against him, Anthony Thompson remains strong in his beliefs. "That's not my video. I have nothing to do with it," he says. "I never paid the recruit and I never made this video."
