OPINION: IU football deserves a big crowd against Northwestern
I hate it when the media tells a fan base they need to do something. I usually find it particularly annoying when the media complains about lack of attendance at games.

LINCOLN, Neb — The last time IU football won a game with 89,000 or more fans in a stadium was 32 years ago on Oct. 10, 1987, in a 31-10 win at Ohio State in front of a crowd of 90,032.
For the first time since Nebraska joined the Big Ten, IU will travel to Lincoln, Nebraska, to play a football game this Saturday. It only took eight years, three months, three weeks and five days for the Huskers and Hoosiers to play a football game in Nebraska.
After defeating Maryland on the road last weekend, IU football will travel to Nebraska this week looking to secure its sixth win and a bowl berth. The IDS football reporters break down everything you need to know before the Hoosiers take on the Cornhuskers.
Lets face it, IU football's defense was atrocious in the first half against Maryland on Saturday.
Pass or fail.
There are two interesting storylines to come out of IU’s blowout win over Rutgers: it was IU’s first victory in a Homecoming game since defeating Arkansas State University 36-34 in 2010 and the uniforms that were worn to celebrate the university’s bicentennial.
This week on the IDS Football Podcast, the football reporters preview the homecoming matchup against Rutgers, give their predictions for the rest of the season, and somehow get sidetracked at every turn.
On paper, IU’s defense really hasn’t been that bad this season.
During IU’s first bye week, the IDS football reporters break down the heartbreaking loss to Michigan State, discuss food options at Spartan Stadium, and get in a screaming match about hypotheticals.
It appeared junior receiver Whop Philyor had stuffed a sword into the heart of Michigan State’s mascot Sparty. Philyor had just zig zagged his way to a 51-yard punt return to give the Hoosiers prime field position with a three point lead with 14:16 left in the game.
It’s never a good time for anyone, let alone the most talented and experienced offensive linemen on the team, to get hurt.
In this weeks podcast the IDS football reporters talk about media food, if Caleb can ever concentrate, and little IU football. Do the Hoosiers have a chance against No. 25 Michigan State if freshman quarterback Michael Penix Jr., doesn’t play, how much stock can be put into IU beating UConn, and more on the IDS Football Podcast.
Coming into the season, the IU receivers were one of the most hyped positions on the squad. Senior Nick Westbrook had close to 1,000 receiving yards in 2016 and was looking to bounce back from a disappointing 2018 campaign.
The Indiana Daily Student football reporters break down IU’s thumping from No. 6 Ohio State and gives a preview of the upcoming University of Connecticut game. Is it almost time to hit the panic button on the Hoosier defense? How long can IU last without redshirt freshman quarterback Michael Penix Jr.? What’s wrong with the run game? Hear about all this and more on this week's episode of the IDS Football Podcast.
It doesn’t take a genius to say that IU is probably going to blow out the University of Connecticut on Saturday. The Huskies are coming off a 1-11 season and have started the 2019 season by barely knocking off the Football Championship Subdivision bottom dweller Wagner College 24-21 followed by a competitive showing in a loss to a very bad University of Illinois team.
Early in the second quarter, the Hoosiers were already struggling. IU football was down 14-3 to No. 6 Ohio State and had the ball on their own 18 yard line facing a 3rd and 15. Not ideal. However, junior receiver Whop Philyor beat Ohio State sophomore cornerback Shaun Wade to create space on a wheel route.
IU football is off and running in the 2019 season and so is the IDS Football Podcast. Can the Hoosiers break their 31-year drought against No. 6 Ohio State? Can IU stop sophomore quarterback Justin Fields? Will the receivers catch the ball? IDS reporters Caleb Coffman, Will Coleman and Jack Grossman break down all of this and more.
Why has IU football failed to beat Ohio State — or rather THE™ Ohio State University — in the last 24 tries? A lot of reasons that would take too long to list.
Overshadowed by freshman Michael Penix Jr.’s impressive debut as the IU starting quarterback in the 34-24 victory over Ball State, was the extremely surprising absence of a constant running game.
