You know, I likely wouldn't be as excited about tonight's game ...
Except, there is something about it taking place right here in town that makes this exhilarating for me.
First ever FBS 12 Team Playoff Game + First Ever FBS Home Field Game
Both teams are In State programs.
I'm actually rather stoked.
Here we go.
Teams taking the field.
We Have Kickoff

IU's first drive goes 3 & out ...
Let's see what the Irish bring.

Not a very good script to start the game for the Hoosiers

I gotta say, I'm digging those ND Jerseys ...
The Deep Navy with Metallic Gold Highlights is sharp.

That'll help ...
INT on ND's first throw.

hmmm ...
Think I would've passed there.
3rd & 14
Let's see who wins this.
Great Catch Hoosiers!
Likely should even have been PI

Extremely sloppy start by both teams, but what a catch by the Indiana receiver before the INT.

I think they're both playing fast and a little impatient.
You're right, Spence.
That was a special grab.
Too bad it was followed up by a Pick.
And, then ND goes 98 yards on 1 play.
TD Irish

That'll sure take the pressure off of Leonard going forward.
Let's see how the Hoosiers answer this.

Uh'O ...
If the Leprechauns get a score on this drive, Indiana may be chasing them all game long.

The defensive end and safety couldn’t shed their block on the TD run. That was unfortunate.
Indiana has a good scheme, but they don’t have the Jimmy and Joes.
Also Marcus Freeman is a champion at playing Tresselball

This is a smart drive ...
The Irish are taking their time getting down field.
The methodical pace can wear out IU's line.
ND got lucky there.
Indiana missed the fumble, shamrock dove on it.
