Then, the two move onto the departure of Kalen DeBoer and where the Indiana football team goes from there.

On the women's side, an unannounced extension for Teri Moren leaked out on Wednesday, which serves as just another huge positive in a great season.

While the College Football Playoff committee may not be in on the #9WINDIANA movement, Auston and Jacob are firmly on board as they bring another episode of The Podcast Was Good.

Defensively, Penn State has a top-10 unit but also was torn apart last week by the Gophers, offering a blueprint for a Hoosier upset.

The Indiana football team routed UConn last week to get back on track after the blowout against Ohio State. Peyton Ramsey looked like a real quarterback for a week, the running game got back on track and the defense righted some of its wrongs from previous weeks.
However, the Hoosiers now move headfirst into Big Ten play against Michigan State this week. The Spartans sport an anemic offense and a superb defense, Indiana, meanwhile, hasn't publicly announced who will be the quarterback by game time. If it's Ramsey, the Spartans could have a field day. If it's the return of Michael Penix, Jr., Indiana has a puncher's chance.
Lastly, Auston and Jacob take a small dive into the men's soccer team, who has a new look but is still considered the Big Ten favorite. Auston gives a brief look at which players have stood out to start the year before looking at the team's first loss of the season against Butler.

The Podcast Was Good is back and here to stay! Jacob and Auston bring the first episode of the rebirth of the podcast at one of the worst times possible. Indiana laid a giant egg against Ohio State at home with hardly any positives to take away.
Peyton Ramsey continues to look bad but was done no favors by Indiana’s continued struggles on the offensive line. With a run game that produced less than two yards per carry and a passing game that struggled, Indiana’s offense was non-existent. Paired with a defense that continues missing tackles at an alarming rate and little went right for the Hoosiers.
Jacob and Auston discuss just how much you take away from a game against the current version of Ohio State, what the long-term concerns are for Indiana and how they pick up the pieces from here.
Then, they take a look forward and advise fans not to overreact to the loss. The upcoming week’s game against Connecticut offers the team a chance to regroup and head back toward #9WINDIANA.
