Back to EpisodesWhy Indiana’s Loss to Ohio State Might Be the Best Thing for the Hoosiers | What Did We Learn, Week 7
Description
Ohio State ended Indiana’s 22-game win streak, and Mark Franzen thinks the loss may be the best thing that could have happened to the Hoosiers. Mike Wade, Mark and Darren Steadman debrief a rough week for the parlay, then run through what they learned in Week 7: Kentucky’s hot start, JMU’s coaching tree, Bryce Underwood’s future at Michigan, a weekend of backup quarterbacks, and what a two-loss Oregon State would mean for the Group of Six playoff spot. Then it’s SEC playoff math, the Big 12’s Holy War, and the homer report on LSU, Virginia Tech, UVA and Tennessee. The Quick Six for Week 8 is in the next episode.
