I know the best in the business Matt Dollinger already said it, but there's no reason to panic just yet. Here are some positives from Saturday that may soon be forgotten.
* Andrew Means had career highs with seven catches and 83 receiving yards.
* James Bailey caught his first touchdown pass since 2005. If those two can compliment James Hardy then IU's passing attack could get a lot better then what it has been.
*This game may just have been a horrible matchup for IU. The Mendenhall/Williams combination will probably be the best Qb/Rb running attack they'll see all season. Next week they'll see more of a conventional quarterback in Jake Christensen.
*Perhaps most important, the two captains of the team, Tracy Porter and Josiah Sears, played their tails off. Besides his two interceptions, Porter was all over the field on special teams. And while Sears doesn't account for a lot of statistical numbers, when he was called upon he did his job. He's a role player whose always ready. To quote te movie Remember the Titans, 'Attitude reflects leadership.' And the two leaders of this years team will do everything in their power to get IU back on track.
On one final note, i've been told that Indiana club Water Polo trounced Illinois club Water Polo 13-7 earlier today in a tournament. Take that Illini.
