Misery Index · Meh · ▲ from 35
6-0 after a three-point escape, and the room still litigates Hoover's 17 touchdowns and zero picks.
The emotional rollercoaster
Indiana fans’ misery during the game, every 15 minutes. Up is worse.
What happened
Indiana went to Lincoln and left with a 20-17 win, which moved the Hoosiers to 6-0 and somehow moved the fanbase in the other direction. Misery climbed from 35 to 47 on a victory. The turning point was the margin itself: three points against Nebraska read less like a résumé line than a warning. Hoover's line drew the shrug treatment, as one fan put it, "17 TDs to 0 ints and he's still going to be more criticized than he should be." Undefeated, and still annoyed.
What fans said
“Hoover now has 17 TDs to 0 ints and he’s still going to be more criticized than he should be.”
