It was the best of times, Micah McFadden got ejected, then it was the worst of times at Memorial Stadium on Saturday as Indiana dropped a 38-24 decision to No. 8 Cincinnati. Matt and Nithin dive into the hottest topics surrounding IUFB at the moment, such as how to change the targeting rule in college football, what's going on with Michael Penix Jr., and one Hoosier in particular that needs to rise up. Is 8-5 a successful year for this IU team, given where expectations were at the start of the season?

Then, the guys dive into a full preview of Indiana's week four contest at the Western Kentucky Hilltoppers. Who are the key players to watch? What do the Hoosiers have to do to pull off the win? They also give you an IU/WKU prediction and their Big Ten picks of the week.

That was ugly. The most-hyped IUFB season opener in program history resulted in the most underwhelming performances in the Tom Allen era, a 34-6 loss at the hands of the Iowa Hawkeyes. Everything went wrong from the opening kick off at Kinnick Stadium. Michael Penix Jr. struggled all afternoon. What bright spots did Nithin and Matt see in the Hoosiers' first game? What should IU fans expect from this team for the rest of the season?

It's showtime. After a memorable season where the Hoosiers went 6-2, Tom Allen, Michael Penix Jr., Ty Fryfogle, and most of the squad return for the 2021 season. Expectations have never been higher. IU starts with a trip to Iowa City and a blockbuster top-20 matchup against the Hawkeyes.

Hood-Schifino is currently the 23rd-ranked player in the 2022 class per 247Sports. Hood-Schifino, along with CJ Gunn and Kaleb Banks, give Indiana the fifth best 2022 recruiting class in the country at this point.

Nithin and Matt break down the commitment from all angles. What should IU fans expect of the guard out of Montverde Academy? What players from the past do the guys think of when they watch Hood-Schifino?
