MINNEAPOLIS – Converting on only one of 10 third downs and recording just a single score, the IU football team’s offense sputtered to a 16-7 defeat on the road at Minnesota. The loss shoots IU’s record below .500 at 2-3, and marks the team’s second straight Big Ten loss to open conference play at 0-2.
Gophers 16, IU 7 -- Final
... in about a half hour or so. Stay tuned.
The last time the IU football team knocked off the Minnesota Golden Gophers in Minneapolis, the price of a gallon of gas was about $1.08. Now at .500 through four games, IU faces Minnesota, who “is a good football team and a much-improved football team from a year ago,” said IU coach Bill Lynch. IU pummeled Minnesota 40-20 at Memorial Stadium last season, but this weekend, the team plays in Minneapolis, a place where the Hoosiers haven’t won in 15 years. This time around, there could be some fresh faces taking the field for the Cream and Crimson.

The score was not the only painful thing about IU’s loss to Michigan State. The list of Hoosiers wounded almost out distanced the number of mistakes. The Hoosiers (2-2) have little time to rest, as they head to Minneapolis – their first road trip of the year – this weekend to take on a rising Minnesota (4-1) team led by Eric Decker, one of the top pass-catchers in the nation. “They have an outstanding quarterback, a very good wideout in Decker, and the defense is very sound,” IU coach Bill Lynch said to the media Tuesday. “They have some new guys over there that are very athletic.”
Marcus Thigpen was the Hoosiers’ revolver in their shootout against Michigan State on Saturday. Unfortunately for IU, the Spartans brought two guns to the duel and outshot the Hoosiers 42-29.

UPDATE: 1:52 p.m. -- This is Zach here, and I would like to go on record as saying that I never "took shots" commenting the video below. I did patent the line above, but at no time did I attempt to go Bob Carpenter on this moment in Hoosier baseball history. Carry on.
INDIANA-MICHIGAN STATE TO KICK AT NOON
No. 1: Zach and I sat down with IU coach Tracy Smith on Friday, and had a very nice interview. A good portion of said interview is now available here. The Podcast's edition is dated Sept. 15.
I ran into Andrew Means when doing interviews with the football team. And me being an IU baseball nerd, couldn't resist getting in some non-pigskin related questions.
The first and second teams, including quarterbacks Kellen Lewis and Ben Chappell, respectively, continued taking equal snaps in the Hoosiers’ practice on Tuesday. The only thing different from past weeks’ practices was that the players were in shells – shoulder pads, helmets and shorts.
Following publishing an article on Tuesday's practice, I decided I would share with y'all what IU coach Bill Lynch said to the media after the players hit the showers.
IU has been dominant to start its season. No one following the Hoosiers could possibly argue against that statement. To open their season, the Cream and Crimson rolled over Western Kentucky and Murray State. IU has put together 926 yards of offense, scoring 76 points in its eight quarters of play in 2008 thus far – its two visitors’ combined for 431 yards and 16 points.But the Hilltoppers and Racers are part of the reason the Hoosiers’ overall schedule this season was ranked as one of the easiest in the Football Bowl Subdivision, according to various publications.

I had an extremely abbreviated interviews with two new Hoosiers, Blake Monar and Alex Dickerson.
