Episode Synopsis


In a game between traditional basketball powers the Hoosiers dominated the Bruins and made another strong statement for them to be considered the #1 team in the country. The Hoosiers haven't missed a beat from their regular season dominance from last year. This year they're even better and a 12-0 regular season is absolutely the expectation. Indeed their next true challenge will be whoever they meet in the BIG10 championship game. Curt Cignetti just signed a long term deal as Indiana's administration understood they have the hottest coach in the country and Penn State, among others, were likely sniffing around to poach him.This team has NFL talent at every level of the defense and offense, with Fernando Mendoza leading the way as a potential first round draft pick and Heisman front runner.At this point the exceptions for this team are legitimately a national title. On the other side of the field the resurgent Bruins got a reality check. This doesn't take away anything from what Tim Skipper and Jerry Neuheisel have done since taking over, however it does show the gap in talent between UCLA and a national title contender. Even with this loss the Bruins can still make a bowl game if they win out. And that would be a big accomplishment given how badly this season started.
