CrimsonCast

A rare Saturday Morning podcast, as DoctorGC answers some listener questions and previews the matchup between Indiana and Nebraska.

Scott @CrimsonCast317 is joined by James @CrimsonCast260 to pick the best bets in the B1G this week.

Joined by Taylor Lehman, author of the Bite-Sized Bison Newsletter, we talk about IU football's play over the first 1/3 of the season. Do the wins take precedence over everything else? How much can we divine from IU's overall play so far? We delve into the issues relating to the offensive line, the defensive secondary, and the approach IU has taken this offseason. We also answer listener questions, and look forward a bit to the Nebraska game.

It was an uneven game at best for IU on Saturday, as they dug themselves a huge hole, partially dug out of the hole, then ran out of gas en route to a 45-24 loss at Cincinnati. We talk about the inconsistent performances from the team and how that has them looking as they head into the heart of the Big Ten season.

Indiana puts their 3-0 record on the line this weekend with a trip to the Queen City, and we preview the game by bringing on our resident Cincinnati expert, Mike Petry. Mike talks about the questionable history of UC football in the 80s, their resurgence over the last 20 years, and the type of challenges IU might face today. He also gives us some tips on going to Nippert Stadium.

On the latest episode of CrimsonCast, we recap Indiana's 33-30 overtime victory over Western Kentucky. The Hoosiers moved to 3-0, and seem to keep finding ways to win despite not playing particularly well throughout the game. We discuss where IU succeeded and struggled, how much of this win streak is sustainable, and what IU needs to improve upon in order to get to bowl eligibility. We also discuss Michael Penix's exciting start to the season for Washington, and have our first official Tailgate Talk segment.

Scott and DoctorGC return to preview the impending IU football home game versus Western Kentucky. We talk a bit about the uncertainty of this matchup and how the numbers are both unfavorable for IU and hard to fully trust at this stage of the season. We take a boatload of questions from the listeners, including questions about IU's defensive performance, a standout player on defense, the reason why IU scheduled the next two games, and what's on the tailgate menu for Saturday morning.

The guys take a crack at breaking down the fully announced schedule for IU men's basketball. We talk about some of the early pitfalls, give some KenPom analysis of a few of the under-the-radar teams in the non-conference, and look across the Big Ten schedule to see how many wins there potentially are this season. We also take a couple of audience questions.
