Howard may play – or may not Lost in the galactic numbers that in puts up offensively with star quarterback Nate Sudfeld, is the fact that the Hoosiers are very balanced offensively.

Kanye West, Kim Kardashian offered United States dollars 2m for baby pictures
The Caitlyn question: Apparently, the family couldn’t agree on whether Caitlyn Jenner should be featured in the card. The Kardashian/Jenner family have finally revealed this year’s Christmas Card – and it was worth the wait.
IN will play Duke in the Pinstripe Bowl on Saturday, Dec. 26, 2015.
Kim and Kourtney Kardashian’s children take centre stage for 2015 Christmas card
Does North West have a future in makeup artistry? Scott Disick’s alienation from Kourtney may well explain their absence also. The card forgoes the usual massive extended family portrait and, instead, includes only Kim and Kourtney’s offspring.
The Huskies (7-6) won their last two regular-season games by a combined 97-17 over Oregon State and Washington State to become bowl eligible and then delivered Chris Petersen’s first postseason victory in his two seasons at Washington. That now makes Colorado the school with the longest post-season drought.
California wildfire closes freeway for a while, forces evacuations
About 600 area firefighters are battling the blaze and are being assisted by at least two water-dropping helicopters. Huge flames light up the coast line from the Solimar brush fire that started in Ventura County, California.
IN took a 24-20 lead midway through the third when Nick Westbrook caught a 3-yard touchdown pass. But three plays after the Hoosiers’ Mitchell Paige fumbled at his 19-yard line on a punt return, Sirk connected with Braxton Deaver for a 10-yard touchdown, giving the Blue Devils a 27-24 lead.
“I like the diversity of our offense”, quarterback Thomas Sirk said. “Well, we’ve talked about it a lot”. We can go under center. Sudfeld started slow, getting picked off when he threw a ball into traffic and a defender tipped it before another secured the ball.
This time, the Blue Devils are looking to avoid the mistakes that led to three straight losses. Wilson’s run tied the school record for longest rushing touchdown (Charlie Smith took one back 85 yards against Virginia Tech in 1951).
Cutcliffe is in his eighth season as the head coach of the Blue Devils.
“The bowl game win is something that has eluded our team and something that we definitely talk about”, All-ACC linebacker Dwayne Norman said.
Duke and IN are programs that regularly pack stadiums IN New York-except, that’s for basketball games.
The Indiana Hoosiers were one of the top offensive teams in the nation with 36 points on 490 yards top 30 rushing and passing units.
Most of the offense comes from record-setting quarterback Nate Sudfield. Sudfeld finally found his touch on a 27-yard touchdown pass to little-used receiver Luke Timian for a 27-yard touchdown on third down to cut the to 10-7 with 6:56 left before halftime. The Big Ten Conference has added schools such as Penn State, Rutgers, and Maryland to enhance the presence of the league along the Eastern seaboard, and even has an office in Manhattan. I like the Hoosiers offense to score early and often in this one.
Duke’s defense will also be undermanned in the Pinstripe Bowl as safety Jeremy Cash will miss the game due to wrist surgery. A big part of that was via the legs of All-Big Ten runner Jordan Howard, who totaled over 1,200 yards and nine scores in just nine games, as he battled injuries throughout the season.
Wilson said this team’s best players have been its best workers, and have brought energy to the program. Duke rushed for 373 yards in the game. If Howard does not play, Devine Redding will continue filling in.
ANY DEFENSE? Neither team has thrived defensively. “In every bowl game we’ve jumped out on the teams, but towards the end of the games it’s always slipped away from us”.
PREVIOUS BOWL EXPERIENCE: While Wilson is guiding IN to its first bowl since taking the job, he does have experience IN bowl games. It’s the first Duke victory since 1961, when Coach K was 13 and the USA was on the last day of diplomatic ties with Cuba.
Stay on topic – This helps keep the thread focused on the discussion at hand. “Because of the four-year streak of playing in bowl games, why wouldn’t you mention it?”
