·

With his team just one win away from clinching its first bowl game berth in 13 years, junior fullback Josiah Sears knows IU's focus has changed. "If it hasn't, I think there's something wrong with us," Sears said. "Because we have (a bowl game) within our grasp. We're going to have to screw up to not go now."

Colts, Patriots continue rivalry with showdown Sunday

·

FOXBOROUGH, Mass. -- Peyton Manning versus Tom Brady. The unbeaten Indianapolis Colts versus the New England Patriots, who have only one loss. The hype versus the reality. There are plenty of subplots to Sunday night's game between two of the NFL's best teams -- Adam Vinatieri's first against the team for which he kicked two Super-Bowl-winning field goals, Manning's struggles against the Patriots and Brady's growing comfort with his new receivers.

IU suffers 2-1 defeat to Wolverines, early exit from Big Ten Tournament

·

The IU women's soccer team exited the Big Ten Tournament early Thursday night after losing to Michigan 2-1 at Jeffrey Field in University Park, Pa.

One-way ticket to the top

·

Kellen Lewis never thought he'd put up such big numbers so soon. Coming into the season, the freshman quarterback was not even expecting to play. "When I came here, Blake was only a redshirt sophomore," Lewis said, referring to junior quarterback Blake Powers. "I envisioned having to wait in line and maybe junior year come in and take control of the offense. But eight touchdown passes in two home games? I definitely wasn't expecting that." Lewis didn't have to wait in line. In IU's second game of the season against Ball State, with Powers on the sidelines nursing a leg injury and senior Graeme McFarland knocked out with a shoulder injury, the Hoosiers turned to their third-string quarterback. And in his first collegiate game, Lewis did not disappoint. With his team down 23-7 at halftime, the redshirt freshman led IU all the way back from the deficit, throwing for 228 yards and a touchdown with 88 rushing yards and a rushing score.

IU looks to find winning touch again in tournament

·

The IU women's soccer team was unstoppable Oct. 1. That day, the Hoosiers defeated Michigan 2-1 to win game 10 of a 13-game unbeaten streak. "I just think that overall as a team, we played really well that game, defensively and offensively," said freshman forward Kristin Arnold, who had a goal and an assist in the game. "We defended really well as a team, We were able to win the 50-50 balls in the midfield. I think that because of that, we had a lot more opportunities."

2006 Hoosiers lowest scoring in history of program at 1.6 goals netted per game

·

As far as IU men's soccer coach Mike Freitag is concerned, scoring goals is the hardest thing to do in soccer. Apparently, this year it's a little tougher than others. The 2006 IU men's soccer team is the lowest scoring team in the 34 years of the Hoosier program. In the 18 games played thus far, IU has averaged 1.61 goals per game. At the same point last season, the team averaged 2.72 goals per game.

·

The IU men's hockey team remained unbeaten last weekend with two wins against DePaul University. The Hoosiers improved their record to 4-0-2 with the wins in Chicago last Friday and Saturday. "Both games showed some challenges for the team, and I'm happy to see we overcame those challenges," senior forward Reed Schafer said. "We had all four lines play hard, and that is something we look for early in the season. In general, I'm happy about how the team played as a whole this weekend."

Club defeat of ranked opponent highlights 8-3 fall record

·

The IU club baseball team shut out regional powerhouse Illinois on Oct. 21, capturing not just its biggest win of the season but arguably the most important in the young club's brief history, club baseball founder and president Matt Ostrega said. Though it was an exhibition matchup, the 4-0 defeat of No. 11 Illinois marks the club's second victory over a National Club Baseball Association top-20 team in club baseball's two-year existence at IU. Team leaders said the win boosted the 8-3 club's confidence entering the winter training period before games resume in the spring.

Manning's play no longer wows Colts' coach Dungy

·

INDIANAPOLIS -- Peyton Manning's wizardry is becoming so commonplace his coach no longer considers it especially noteworthy. Manning, the NFL's top-rated passer, has led Indianapolis to 21 victories in the past 23 regular-season games. The two losses came after the Colts had already clinched home-field advantage in the playoffs and coach Tony Dungy used mainly reserves late last season.

Media day's focus set on recruit

·

CHICAGO -- Many basketball scouts consider North Central High School senior Eric Gordon the No. 1 guard in the nation. And that's the No. 1 reason Illinois coach Bruce Weber has had such a difficult time dealing with Gordon's decision to revoke his commitment to the Illini and instead commit to IU coach Kelvin Sampson and the Hoosiers.
