Yeah a bonk on a fg and a blocked punt for 6 dig a pretty big hole.

Will be interesting to see their team next year. Easier to scale the mountain than own it. Wish them the best though.

It will be hard to top this year.
Always is for the champ.
They won last night on special teams and fourth down. That run by Mendoza will be on a loop forever in Bloomington.
I’ll give Miami credit for making it a good game. Their defensive line is elite.

I don't care who won buddy. I hate that it comes down to who pays the most for players in, what was supposed to be, an amatuer sport. Then idiot Beck comes out and says he hasn't gone to class in 2 years. College football has officially become high paying semi pro, minor league football. It's stupid

Indiana won the NC with 7 total four stars lol.
Indiana might have paid money but they was not after the players we went after...

It was fairly criminal what guys were able to get away with in that game, knowing in the regular season there would have been at least 4-5 more DPI calls, targeting, roughing calls that just went uncalled. Hell, there was a real bad hold on the miami long TD run that got no-called. Not unique to football but that inconsistency is the worst to deal with as a player.

Yeah its crazy. On paper they shouldn't be that good, but they were very good. That championship was a testament that culture and not $$$ wins.
Their top 2 tacklers (both LB) were 0 Star players out of HS. One is a sophomore (enrolled at Navy for 1 spring) and the other a senior that came over from JMU.

I would say it's a testament that culture can win. The fact that a team like Indiana hasn't won in a very very very long time is proof of that.
Still a great thing to witness though

One of them was clean bc he was carrying out an option fake.
In the 1970s, the best defense tackled the wishbone QB every single play.
Don’t want to get hit, don’t run option look.

I think that one was more targeting that a late hit/unecessary roughness. At least, based on how our guys have been called for targeting ad nauseum.

for targeting
There is a difference between helmets hitting an a guy trying to spear a guy.
I could live with personal foul, I might could live with ejection, but to allow ref to impact the next game is wrong.
It ought to be first “target” of season- 15 yards.
Second target of season: expelled from game.
Third target: expelled rest of game and 10% of NIL/revenue share of player to other team.

All game long from start to finish. Because too often come the fourth quarter their criteria and rate of calls change. You can deal with consistency if it's all game long.

Now that these players are paid, why not fine them for “targeting” hits?

100%, I meant in regards to how it has been called before. The defender absolutely launched upward towards the QB's head and made contact with it. I personally don't think it was targeting on how I want the rule called/applied, but how we've been called for it before, it 100% should have been. Same with the big PBU Indiana had in the 2nd half. I made a joke earlier in the thread for that one that Smoke Monday would have been executed for a hit like that
ETA: But to the rest of your post, I agree, I think the rule needs a big overhaul and the majority of the ejections are just asinine. I think there deserves to be a class of targeting call that warrants an ejection but from how they've been called, I'd say easily 80% if not more should be nothing more than a 15 yard penalty and move on.
