per the AP:

Indiana's second-half success comes down to two simple rules.

Convert third downs on offense and the Hoosiers score. Stop opponents on third down and they won't score.

So the Hoosiers are scrambling to shore up both areas as they enter their next quest: To become bowl eligible for the first time since 2007. The path to the postseason begins Saturday when Minnesota comes to town.

''Can our defense get stops and keep our offense going?'' coach Kevin Wilson asked this week. ''We're playing two styles and it's a neat little contrast. They execute their stuff, they'll be tough to handle; we execute our stuff, we will be tough to handle.''

Go Gophers!!
 

I watched his presser. He mentioned about a dozen things that need to be fixed. In fact, some of the things he mentioned can not be fixed in a week. If he fixes just a few of them, Minnesota should still pull off a victory. I don't know how they can fix even a few of the issues and still game plan and prepare. Too much to do with too little time to fix it all. In other words, this is a ruse. He doesn't really believe he needs to fix these things and this is just deception. Since this game is their homecoming, I think he is going to load up on trick plays. Our players better be on their toes and stick to their assignments and not get pulled out of our defensive base. The more I think about it, the more I think the d-line needs to create havoc and deny them lanes of opportunity. Let loose the dogs of war. Protect the edge and force them back into the middle.
