Terry Hoeppner deserves some love from Indiana like what Captain Sweatervest gets from the administration and fans of tOSU. I swear, if Hoeppner can make Indiana competitive–Hell, if he can make the program attractive enough to keep the 1/2 dozen GOOD football players from Indiana from going to UM or tOSU every year–I’ll weep with joy for him. They guy’s got big, brass balls and deserves some accolades for what he’s done at a school that, honestly, really, usually couldn’t give a rat’s ass about its footbaw program.

Good job, Terry! Keep it up!!

6 TDs is tied for the NCAA freshman record.

against aggy he will surely set a new freshman record as he shoots frightning fiery lightning bolts from his ass and freezes aggy DB’s with his icy glare.

When the Longhorns give up long TDs, they do it with 4 DBs. A$M trots out 5 DBs and still sucks royally.

re: #22

“Colt could easily break that record before the regular season is over (Okie St, KSU, and the hideous pass defense of A$M remain). ”

Just imagine how many TDs McCoy could pass for playing against the swiss-cheese that masquerades as the longhorn secondary this year.

re: #23

6 TD passes isn’t an NCAA record, it isn’t even a Big 12 record.
Texas Tech’s B.J. Symons owns the Big 12 record, with 8 TD passes against A&M in 2003.
Dustin Long is second, with 7 against Tech in 2002.

Many of McCoy’s touchdown passes even came against college teams!

If you liked Brent Schaeffer, you’ll love Brad Johnson.

Yeah, Colt will have to pull a trick not to get 5 or 6 TDs in the next 3 games.

He’s already got the NCAA record for TDs in a game (6 – tied with 2 others).

But BON’s review of Big 12 QBs left off Reid, whose efficiency ratings are actually better than Colt’s.

A thread over at hornfans points out that Colt currently has 24 TD passes, and the NCAA freshman record is 29. Colt could easily break that record before the regular season is over (Okie St, KSU, and the hideous pass defense of A$M remain). He’d then have the presumable Big XII title game and certain bowl game to add to the total.

Sweet!

If you thought the first halves against Duke and FIU were classic, just wait until Bama plays Mississippi State to a 3-3 halftime tie before winning 10-6. Then comes what can only be described as a glorious ass-kicking by LSU. Yeah, I’d like the Tide to be competitive in Baton Rouge, but when you see the Bengal Tigers at the top of the conference in offense and defense, it makes you cringe to think of the final score. Actually, it’d be more true to form for the final to be 19-16, lost in the final five minutes. What a year.

I remember thinking it was childish to have the “Fire Ron Zook” stuff before he even coached a game. But when I saw that trick play at the end of the Citrus Bowl against (Michigan?), the WTF look by Rex Grossman was priceless AND informative. I think Rex declared for the draft a few days later.

I was at that Indiana-Michigan State game, and it was the first time all year that Indiana actually looked damn impressive. After their first 4 games, I would never have guessed they’d beat both Iowa and Michigan State. If they had been playing like this all year, they’d be 7-2 right now instead of 5-4.

a couple things of note from the game:

Lots of trash on the field (not just Michigan State’s offense and defense). It was windy as hell.

Numerous objects were thrown at Sparty, and I believe one or two hit one of the people walking with him.

80% of IU’s student body was drunk before the game started (at noon)

There was also an eerie chill, knowing that I was watching a former national powerhouse getting embarrassed by a team that hasn’t had a winning record since 1994.

Incidentally, Rece Davis earned another hundred cool points this weekend by mimicking “Brent SHAEFFAH!” from the Coach O Song during post-game highlights.
