(coll fb) Do you expect IND qb Rourke to play @MichSt?

Cignetti says that Rourke looks good. But that could be gamesmanship.

Supposedly had thumb surgery after NEB game. Quick turnaround to get healthy that quickly.

I don’t think it matters too much. Jackson is not much of a drop off. Mich st is trash anyhow.

All I've heard is they are 'optimistic' he will return this week.

Line ticked up from -7 to -7.5 FWIW

Watched an interview with Cignetti yesterday..Did not know much about him prior but I left impressed.

Thanks, Andy. Yes, but that quote came from Cignetti.

He literally might be saying that to commit MichSt to prepping for Rourke. Sometimes, it helps to have an MD opinion. Thumb injury normally isn't that quick of a recovery.

BTW, the Navy QB Horvath had a thumb injury last week. Contributed to him struggling with ball-handling, produced multiple fumbles. I could see MichSt hanging this week if there are any Ind QB issues.

Yes, Jake. Cignetti has been talking big since the Big Ten pre-season meeting.

Right now, he's backed up the chatter. Just my two cents, season has gone so well for IND that (I think) they have to be a little over-rated.

I do not keep up nowadays like I used to so late to the party here.


He has more than backed up the chatter and might make the playoff in his first year at Indiana...would be an amazing feat.


I'll be rooting for them going forward.

Rourke set to start. Line staying around -7.5 / -8.

Thx, Andy. Appreciate it.

Man, they don't miss it on these lines too much.
