Ben Chappell set four records in his Saturday performance against Michigan. IDS football reporter Geoffrey Miller reports on Chappell and other news from Bill Lynch's press conference.
Eight plays of more than 20 yards led Michigan to a 42-35 victory against IU in front of a sell-out crowd of 52,929 people.
Senior quarterback Ben Chappell broke IU records in four categories, and junior wide receiver Tandon Doss posted the third-highest total of all-purpose yards in a game in school history, but neither contribution was enough to dismantle No. 19 Michigan.
The Hoosiers (3-1, 0-1) played a gutsy football game. But like they did so many times last season, they came up one play short in the end, Justin Albers says.
Michigan quarterback Denard Robinson ran in a 4-yard score with 17 seconds remaining Saturday to give the Wolverines a 42-35 victory against IU. Robinson finished with 494 total yards and 5 touchdowns.
Only a few tickets remain available for Saturday's home football game between IU and No. 19 Michigan. IU athletics director Fred Glass expects the game to sell out - the first for IU since 2007.
Columnist Justin Albers provides seven reasons why a victory against the Wolverines would be significant for IU.
Nobody has come close to stopping Denard Robinson this year. IU gets its shot this weekend when Michigan visits Bloomington for a battle of unbeaten Big Ten teams.
As IU’s backup quarterback to Kellen Lewis, the redshirt freshman Chappell was 1-for-1 for 14 yards after completing a pass in the blowout season opener against Indiana State.
When IU faces Michigan at 3:30 p.m. on Saturday, brothers Larry and Jibreel Black will reunite on the field as opponents.
Michigan quarterback Denard Robinson is “good to go” for Saturday’s game against IU, according to an Associated Press report.
Student section tickets for Saturday’s IU football game against Michigan are selling fast, Athletics Director Fred Glass said.
IU football coach Bill Lynch said Monday during his weekly press conference that his team’s next game against No. 19 Michigan won’t inspire any difference in his team’s preparation.
If IU misses tackles and blows coverage assignments like it did in a 35-20 win against Akron on Saturday, the Hoosiers will give up 40 points per game during the Big Ten season, and they might struggle to win a conference game, says columnist Justin Albers.
IU senior quarterback Ben Chappell found seven different receivers Saturday in breaking the school record for most career 300-yard passing games.
Redshirt freshman tight end Ted Bolser tied a 31-year-old school record by catching two touchdown passes, and junior tight end Max Dedmond added another in Saturday's 35-20 win against Akron.
IU (3-0) toppled Akron (0-4), 35-20, at Memorial Stadium as senior quarterback Ben Chappell tallied his second-straight 300-yard game through the air -- including four touchdowns in the first half.
College football coaching is tough, it’s stressful and it’s time-consuming. It is not, however, any more difficult, stressful or time-consuming than other professions, writes columnist Justin Albers.
Lost in the shuffle of a successful passing game last week was a running game that sputtered its way through most of the contest and served as a point of concern for the Hoosiers.
