Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Derrick Mason (85) is tackled after a reception, by Indianapolis Colts' Melvin Bullitt (33) during the second half of an NFL football game on Sunday in Indianapolis. The Colts won 31-3, marking the team's first regular-season victory at Lucas Oil Stadium.

Colts go on the offensive on defense, dominate Ravens

By Michael Sanserino · Monday, Oct. 13,2008 1 a.m.

INDIANAPOLIS ­– Four sacks, three interceptions and four fumbles: Through four quarters Sunday, the Colts looked like they had the best defense in the NFL. And they owe it all to their offense. An Indianapolis defense that was built to play with a lead finally got to play with one during Sunday’s 31-3 win against the Baltimore Ravens. By the time the Colt’s defense gave up its first first down of the game, the offense had already scored two touchdowns. That, coach Tony Dungy said, was key.

Hoosiers slip to 1-5 in Big Ten with weekend losses to Iowa, Minnesota

By Ari Shifron · Monday, Oct. 13,2008 12:59 a.m.

After taking a step forward last weekend, the IU volleyball team took two steps back this weekend. The step forward – when IU recorded its first Big Ten win against Michigan State and ended the Spartans’ 10-game winning streak Oct. 3. The steps back – this past weekend in its most recent matches, as IU suffered a 3-0 loss to No. 12 Minnesota on Friday and fell to Iowa 3-2 on Saturday. The Iowa match was particularly heart-breaking, as the Hoosiers led 2-1 before losing the final two games. In the fifth game, IU led as late as 11-9 before ultimately losing 15-12. Junior outside hitter Kelsey Hall said the Hoosiers are searching for answers right now.

Clinton’s biggest fans prepare to choose ‘between 2 evils’

It was just five months ago that graduate student Alicia Keebaugh was a raving Hillary Clinton supporter.She spent hours making fliers, organizing volunteers and convincing voters during the primary season that Clinton not only had strong stances on the issues, but a plan to make them happen. But eventually it became clear that Clinton wouldn’t be on the ballot in November.Now, Keebaugh plans to cast her vote for Republican nominee John McCain.Keebaugh represents a group of IU students who formerly supported Clinton but have somewhat lost interest in an election without her.PODCAST: Hoosier Headlines

1st conference win, home win come in 2-1 defeat of Michigan

By Nathan Hart · Monday, Oct. 13,2008 12:56 a.m.

With two goals in the second half and a defensive effort not seen in previous Big Ten conference games, the IU field hockey team defeated Michigan 2-1 Sunday afternoon in Bloomington. Junior midfielder Meg O’Connell deflected a shot from senior back Dani Castro into the goal midway through the second half to tie the game 1-1. Junior forward Alina Valenti added a goal with eight minutes remaining in the game to give IU (7-6, 1-3) a lead it would not relinquish. “We fought and scratched and clawed our way in that game, and we never gave up,” IU coach Amy Robertson said. “The key element today was our communication. It was really strong on defense and on attack. It was just a full team effort.”

Hoosiers snap scoreless streak but go 0-2 in weekend’s games

By Brandon Smith · Monday, Oct. 13,2008 12:55 a.m.

Coming into the weekend’s match-ups with Wisconsin and Northwestern, the IU women’s soccer team was still looking for its first conference win. Without two of their starting forwards, things where complicated for the Hoosiers. Junior Liz Holby, who leads the team in points and goals, and freshman Carly Samp did not play because of injuries.

Hoosiers swing and miss

By Dave Leno · Monday, Oct. 13,2008 12:54 a.m.

It wasn’t supposed to be this way. Not after last season’s mountainous climb to a bowl game. As speedy as the IU football program spiked in 2007, it’s plummeted even faster in 2008.   We lamented on how scrawny, how spare, how sub-par the Hoosiers’ non-conference schedule is. And, while skeptics said early wins were a must, IU’s three straight conference losses proved their theory correct. Michigan State was strike one. Minnesota, strike two. Iowa, strike three. The Hoosiers are out.

Floundering IU squad shut out in road loss to Spartans

By Greg Rosenstein · Monday, Oct. 13,2008 12:52 a.m.

Facing the top goal-scorer in the Big Ten, the IU men’s soccer team knew it needed to contain Michigan State senior forward Doug DeMartin from the opening whistle. The Hoosiers held DeMartin in check until the 82nd minute, when he gave the Spartans a late lead. Michigan State freshman midfielder Domenic Barone put the game’s final goal away just 39 seconds later to upset the Hoosiers 2-0 in East Lansing on Sunday. IU coach Mike Freitag said his team’s loss resulted from slow play on the field.

Lynch: Iowa ‘beat us just about every way’ Saturday

By Ryan Gregg · Monday, Oct. 13,2008 12:51 a.m.

Following a 45-9 loss to Iowa in Bloomington, IU coach Bill Lynch played it straight. “You have to do something in the kicking game. Go get a turnover, do something offensively” he said. “They beat us just about every way.” It would be hard to disagree. On offense, IU capped off only two drives in a dozen with scores, and the Hoosiers were only in Hawkeye territory five times.

SEARCHING FOR ANSWERS

By Lee Hurwitz · Monday, Oct. 13,2008 12:49 a.m.

Bill Lynch sat at the podium as he began to search for a way to grasp the loss his team just suffered. He didn’t find anything. Last year, playing a team like Iowa was business as usual. But as evidenced by the half-empty Memorial Stadium in the third quarter, the deflated IU sideline and the 45-9 loss on Saturday, the promise the program displayed in 2007 continues to quickly fade away. “We have to play better,” Lynch said. “That’s what we’ll go back to working on.” “You have to do something to turn it. You have to do something in the kicking game, go get a turnover, do something offensively. ... They beat us just about every way.” The boos started to come out as early as the first quarter, and halfway through the third, the fans had had enough. As the game got out of hand, the student section dissipated as quickly as Iowa running backs Shonn Greene and Jewel Hampton hit the gaping holes in the IU defensive line. Greene and Hampton provided the force – the duo ran for 229 yards and four touchdowns – while quarterback Ricky Stanzi picked apart the IU secondary. Stanzi threw for 184 yards and two touchdowns while the Hoosiers displayed a penchant for giving up the big play.
