If this game was at Akron, I'd be even more worried after seeing your defense play their butts off last week against OSU. Man was I pulling for you!I think IU will clean up some of the sloppy play from last week, but Akron will hang around. IU might start to open up the offense a little more this week since I think Akron will seriously challenge. I'm sure the staff would rather wait until the following week's Big 10 opener, but I think we'll need some more creativity and more throws to Hardy this week if we want to put up points.IU 27Akron 17

IU hasn't lost to a MAC team in 30 years.. I think we're 30-4-1 all time. I'm sure plenty of IU teams over the past few decades could have competed for a MAC title, but that's a silly argument to get into.That said, we know where we stand as a program, and will not be overlooking Akron. As for us finishing in the top 5 in the big 10?? i'm not sure, but it would be nice to get to 7-8 wins.You guys played some great defense last week, and we had a great half followed up a lesson in not letting up with a big lead. I hope anyone travelling to Bloomington enjoys it. It's a great place in the fall! Good luck to the Zips!
