Their QB: God did it

As I suspected. I mean, if you watched that last drive with some of those throws and catches, you have to wonder whether the kid may be on to something.

But seriously, credit to their QB who also called us a "great team," which is more than that weasel Cignetti said in his on-field post-game interview.

Indiana is having a season for the ages but I'm not sold on them as a serious contender to win the whole thing.

My question is how were their receivers that wide open on that final drive? Yes, there were accurate throws and a great catch / toe tap to win it, but where was our defensive backfield? We were actually getting pressure on the QB. Who is to blame? Knowles? Smith? Poindexter? The players? Or was that QB just that good?

My guess. 3* & 4* character players, normal coordinators who design plays to succeed, and a coach who challenges his players to take control. Together, a good football culture. Franklin's culture meanwhile may have been a better fit for women's volleyball.

You know, I'm not sure I can agree with you about their receivers being "wide open." Mendoza made a couple very nice throws into fairly tight windows. And the last two completions of the drive were just guys making huge plays. On neither of them did I see a coverage deficiency.

Anyway, here's the tape but fair warning, it's painful to watch:

3 miracle catches on the last drive. They were very well covered.
