00:00Indiana is undefeated, a perfect 7-0 for the first time in more than a half-century since 1967.
00:08Indiana is at home today, hosting Washington.
00:12The Hoosiers are ranked inside the top 15, number 13 in the land.
00:17But of course, a huge development for this unbeaten IU team.
00:21Curtis Work, the starting quarterback, is going to miss today's game after suffering a thumb injury
00:27that he has already had surgery on last week against Nebraska.
00:31Kev, IU has been favored in every game this year.
00:35They have covered in six of those seven wins.
00:38The only non-cover was week number one as a 24-and-a-half point favorite against FIU, winning by 24.
00:45With Taven Jackson now the starting quarterback for this Indiana offense today, can the Hoosiers keep it rolling?
00:50So, before we kind of get into that, I want to just try and zoom out for a minute about what this all means for Indiana without Rourke.
00:59If we kind of pull back to last season, not apples to apples, but Florida State, Jordan Travis, and the way that injury kind of changed their season,
01:08the difference is, I believe we all are expecting Rourke back at some point, or Indiana—
01:13More than likely next week, as that's been the reports.
01:15He had surgery to fix the issue, should be there for the road trip to Michigan State next weekend.
01:20Which is perfect.
01:21If they lose this game, and that Ohio State, which they're projected to lose,
01:27what does that mean for Indiana's hopes to make the college football playoff?
01:31If their losses are Ohio State on the road, and the one game their starting quarterback didn't play, Joe, and they sit 10-2, is that good enough?
01:41How do they lose these games?
01:43I think that's important as well.
01:45If they get blitzed by Washington today by double digits, 17-20, it's going to be very difficult.
01:52They would need a monumental showing against Ohio State, lose it by three, to be in the running.
01:58You know, I disagree with the sentiment of the idea of perception of a football program, a multiple loss Indiana team,
02:05depending on how the rest of the country stacks up to reach the college football playoff.
02:10I'm already going to be mad about it.
02:12I will rant about Indiana potentially being left out of the college football playoff.
02:16But that perception, whether fair or unfair, is not going to look great for the Hoosiers.
02:22Sorry, and I swear I'm not doing a gotcha.
02:24But like, if the basis for Clemson is, we lost to Georgia, we cover every number.
02:29Well, Indiana didn't lose to anyone, and they cover every number.
02:32For sure, yeah.
02:33Like, so, like for Indiana, and again, not that it would matter here, right?
02:39But, like, why couldn't they be ranked 8th or 9th right now in the country?
02:43Right.
02:43Where, like, you know what I'm saying?
02:45Like, Indiana, why is it that Indiana is starting so far back right now compared to a Clemson?
