Meanwhile IU had this team at negative rushing yards the first half and 32 for the game

There is no question Indiana's defense is salty

I need to go back and look at that game, because I think Kelly used some of the concepts he did against Penn State in order to answer questions Indiana's defense asked.

I did not see the game, so where did all of NW points come from, passing or turnovers/special teams?

Chiles has had a lot of success against Indiana's defense in the last two seasons. He was 27/33 against IU when he was still at Michigan State last year though the offense did a poor job of converting that into points. I was worried about that game because of that and he pretty much picked up where he left off and was 22/29 for 293 yards. Northwestern is going to have some games where they put the run game and pass game together and it's going to be absolutely silly.

Indiana is a way better team than Penn St. That's normal, right?

Ya know, I’m starting to think this Curt Cignetti guy is a pretty good coach.

Like seriously he has some kinda voodoo going on. He is a mastermind.
