Indiana football coach Curt Cignetti knows his team deserves to be in the Big Ten championship race, ahead of a game against Ohio State.

Before their home games, Ohio State holds court at a packed house "Skull Session," and last night offensive line coach Justin Frye took a pregame jab clearly directed in the direction of the Hoosiers leader. "I learned from my dad a long time ago, those who talk and run their mouth, most of the time know nothing."

Fisher recalled a moment when Indiana’s defense started a drive on its 5-yard line, right on the edge of giving up a touchdown. Cignetti spoke to the Hoosiers’ defenders, and they responded by getting four straight stops to get the ball back to the offense.

About two hours before kickoff against Michigan, Indiana fans lined The Walk, a path from Simon Skjodt Assembly Hall to Memorial Stadium that the team traverses before games. Two fans standing near the start of The Walk wore T-shirts that read "Google Me" on the front and "Football School" on the back.

Curt Cignetti has a simple message for anyone doubting the Indiana Hoosiers.
