While 2011 marked the 99th Homecoming for IU, it was football coach Kevin Wilson's first as a Hoosier.
IU fell to Northwestern, 59-38, Saturday at Memorial Stadium, dropping to 1-8 for the season, despite tying its highest-scoring effort of the season.
The problem is Belcher never seemed interested in putting in the work to make it his team. It’s when things have gone bad for the Hoosiers this season that Belcher has come up the smallest.
After struggling to gain yardage on the ground against teams like Ball State and North Texas, the Hoosiers have found a way to rush against Big Ten opponents like Wisconsin, Iowa and Northwestern.
The seniors who were part of a Homecoming upset of Northwestern as freshman could not end their final IU Homecoming the same way, losing 59-38.
The IDS is blogging live from Memorial Stadium as the Hoosiers take on Northwestern in this year's Homecoming game. Join the conversation.
It hasn’t been long since a pair of crimson-clad IU coaches wore the royal purple of the Northwestern Wildcats.
Though the Hoosiers have one win in eight tries in Wilson’s first season, we are seeing signs the coach’s strategy is working. On offense, at least. “Working” is probably not the right word to describe the defense, but that’s a topic for another day.
On Saturday, three years after being thrust into the starting role at Lawrence Central, Roberson became the first true freshman to start at quarterback for IU since true freshmen became eligible in 1972.
The star quarterback was a source of hope, a reason to keep believing things will get better. Now, this hope might be gone before he ever even arrives in Bloomington.
Gunner Kiel, the top-rated quarterback recruit in the country, is not only opening his commitment, but made an unofficial visit to Notre Dame Saturday.
Tre Roberson became the first true freshman to start at quarterback in school history Saturday afternoon. Though the result for IU (1-7, 0-4) was a 45-24 loss to Iowa (5-2, 2-1), Roberson was 16-for-24 for 197 yards with a touchdown through the air. He ran the ball 16 times for 84 yards and another score.
En route to a 45-24 loss to fall to 1-7 (0-4), a Hawkeye 80-yard touchdown wasn’t the only time IU’s defense struggled to contain the Iowa offense that ranked fourth in the Big Ten in scoring. Running back Marcus Coker ran for 139 yards and two touchdowns.
As news of Gunner Kiel swirled around Bloomington, the Hoosiers fell to Iowa 45-24 in Iowa City Saturday.
As news of Gunner Kiel still swirls around Bloomington, the Hoosiers trail Iowa 14-7 at the close of the first quarter in Iowa City.

Steve Wilfong of 247sports.com reported at about 11 a.m. that Kiel, the top-rated quarterback recruit in the country according to Rivals.com, is not only opening his commitment, but will be making an unofficial visit to Notre Dame this Saturday when the team plays USC.
Host Max McCombs is once again joined by Justin Albers and Alex McCarthy to discuss IU football, their loss to Wisconsin and Saturday's game against Iowa.
IU (1-6, 0-3) converted just two of its 14 third-down chances, which players said they look to change when they take on the Iowa team that beat IU in a closely contested 18-13 game last year.
