To me, it comes down to Ken Fernando Mendoza step up to a plate against Oregon when the lights are the brightest and the moment is the bigger.

0:51.1

The way Dante Moore did.

Guys, one of the biggest matchups of the weekend is taking place in Eugene, Oregon

1:00.4

in the Big Ten.

1:01.5

Indiana, undefeated, had that huge win over Illinois, escaped Iowa, goes to play Oregon,

1:07.0

who we know beat Penn State in a whiteout on the road, Dante Moore, I mean, the freshman

1:12.8

running back, Decorian Moore at wide receiver, and then that defense for Dan Lannning.

1:18.2

And he talked about not only conference implications, but playoff implications and seeding.

1:24.2

If Indiana is able to find a way to go in there and beat Oregon, you look at the rest of this schedule. I mean, there's a really, really good chance that Indiana ends up in the Big Ten championship game and possibly getting a buy in the world. Yeah, I think you can make the case that this is the biggest weekend of football for the Big Ten, especially those heavy hitters at the top of the conference who have a legitimate case to make the college football playoff. You got Michigan going on the road to USC. You got the Buckeyes playing Illinois, who Indiana beat 63 to 10. And then this right here is that, I mean, this is really the premier game, what, a top eight matchup right here, Oregon hosting Indiana, I can't wait for this one. Blaine, when you look at this Oregon team, you know, we've done our projections, we've done our power rankings. When you look at the athleticism and the speed, this Indiana team, we feel like, is better than the one last year. I think they have upgraded in athleticism overall. But are they athletic enough to be able to hang with Oregon when Will Stein's going to get that ball out in space and make Indiana tackling one-on-one? Yeah, I know. I think they are. And I think a lot of people need to look at this football game and understand that Indiana can go into Oregon and win this game. They are that good. For Dano Mendoza is that good at quarterback. And he's already an upgrade from what they had last year. And this team just saw it on both sides of the ball. When it comes to Oregon, I've been on high on Oregon for a while. Look, I mean, Dante Moore, what he's doing out there right now, waiting in the wing, Dylan Gabriel, and when his spot has finally come and he's taken advantage of that. And the big thing with me when it came to the defense was Dan Langing and getting the downhill ran against what I saw in the

2:51.7

way they stifled Penn State with those two running backs. I think they can do somewhat the same thing

2:56.9

here against Indiana. To me, it comes down to Ken Fernando Mendoza step up to a plate against Oregon

3:03.8

when the lights are the brightest and the moment is the biggest. The way Dante Moore did.

3:07.7

Absolutely.

3:41.8

Well, you talk about having a Heisman moment. I mean, both of these guys are in the thick of it. And you talk about elevating yourself on that list. And there's a lot of opportunity. I mean, Ty Simpson has an opportunity to go to Missouri, this and the other. But this could be a staple game or a statement game once again from both of these guys. But I want to make sure when we talk about Indiana, what I love about Signani and what he does is the balance and the efficiency on offense. I mean, you look at the numbers right now. We can talk about Fernando through the area. He's 89 to 122. He's completing 73% of his passes for 1,200 yards. He's got 16 touchdowns and one interception. That's incredibly efficient. But then you go look at the running backs.

3:53.3

Look at Hemby, 65 carries for 351 yards. He's averaging 5.5 a pop. Black is averaging 6.3 on 55 carries. Martin is averaging almost 9 on 25.
