Linebacker hurries back to his position looks at the sideline to get the next call. Reads said call and immediately drops to the ground. Sorry but every "injury" after that lost all credibility.

It’s obvious. But it’s not why the Huskers lost.

It was. More than obvious. Soccer level obvious. Saw one in the auburn LSU game as well. But even more flagrant. Something has to be done in the off-season rules meetings. Sad day for football.

Why would the B1G let this stand? There is no question about what happened.

It’s really not rocket science here folks. They clearly were faking a lot of this and interestingly how one of those fainting goats happens to be the son of the coach! Go figure!

The" fainting goats " line is one of the best I have heard in a long time . Maybe that can be their new mascot .

I think everyone of the 6 times they were injured it was on a second down. That is way to coincidental to not have been coached.

Just look at the timing, it was very obvious. They were prepared to do this. It was not the first team to do that over the past couple of years, but this was the most obvious. Pathetic!

I wasn't in a position to watch the game, but listened to the entire game. I was thinking the same thing, just listen to it. Just when we had tempo and progress....boom a Indiana player goes down.

Never like to accuse where health is concerned, but most of these were obvious.

I was at the game with a good view of the Indiana bench. None of these so-called injured players received medical attention when they reached the sidelines.

Obviously faked, at least most of them were. When a player gets up fine then suddenly falls, it's pretty suspect. Would love to see a shot of the sideline to see if there was any signal

In the second quarter one of their linebackers went down favoring his right shoulder. When he left the field, he switched it to favoring his left. Not sure he was faking, or just confused.

Some injuries were probably real, but it's unlikely that all were. Indiana's AD obviously showed bad sportsmanship for his comments. He really has no idea what Frost and the coaches feel about them.

I was there and as a fan nobody should boo a player being hurt. But if you watch the video one has to wonder if that was a tactic of Indiana. In my opinion the MVP should go to #44. Injured 3 times.

Is it reasonable to consider Nebraska a potential playoff team in 2025?

They are as much a potential playoff team as Arizona State and Indiana were last year. There is no harm is fans dreaming big. A team with a recent history like Nebraska is going to put it together this year. Why not the Huskers?

They have a schedule that gets to the year 3 Matt Rhule 10 wins. If they can hang with Penn St. then they could be in the conversation as a 10-2, 11-1 team.

Immanuel Kant would say no, but he had a very strict definition of reason. I can only imagine him pooh-poohing the Huskers because Rhule is compulsed to pass the ball on clear running downs. Afraid to actually hand the ball to the fullback on 3rd and 1. And instead is in the shotgun. NO THEY KANT!

Thry’ll be better this year, but I think 9-3 or 8-4 are likely which keeps them out of contention this year. My hope is that by year 4 under Rhule will finally get them ibto the playoff picture

They are a 6-6 football team until proven otherwise.

NU has not been able to recruit top notch players. The media has led fans to believe that 3 star players can be molded into 4 and 5 stars. That dog don’t hunt?

They need to prove they belong. Still to ,many players on the squad that played on bad teams and don't know how to win yet.

He was a tackling machine with a less talented defensive line in front of him at Georgia Southern. He will have bigger gaps and less linemen reaching him IMO

Dick Butkus is the best Big Ten linebacker. But Watson-Trent might be the best ever with a hyphen in his name. Jack Ham is the best Big Ten linebacker to have the middle name Raphael. LaVar Arrington is the best to have a capital V inexpliccably inserted into his frist name. The list goes on.
