It's the only time he's been asked to do it, and it's the only time that he has done it.

And I don't know how much confidence Hurricane fans had in him being able to do it after Ole Miss scored with three minutes late.

And I think part of the thing that comes into play, and it is not irrelevant—

It's hugely important.

It's the wear and tear of how a defense feels after four quarters of being manhandled seven yards a carry, physically outclassed by 50 pounds per position along the offensive and defensive lines.

Lucy, I keep saying about it, if you would have said to me at any point in the last, you know, since I started at IU, they will beat...

The mighty Alabama Crimson Tide in the Rose Bowl.

They will hammer them there.

They're going to beat Ohio State in the Big Ten championship game.

They're going to beat Oregon twice and manhandle them in doing so.

I would say, boy, that would be great if they could do those things in the next 40 years.

They did it in one month.

It's crazy, but I'm also happy, to your point, I get how the postseason has gone for them.

I'm thankful from the Hoosier side that they were tested at Iowa and at Penn State because the cross sports, I always think of the Houston Cougars against NC State in the 83 college basketball.

They were never tested, and all of a sudden, it's got to be a stunning feeling.

Oh, my God, we really might lose a game?

Thank goodness they've at least experienced it.

I know we're talking about the home field advantage for Miami, but Dan, you worried at all about the weather?

Because it's going to be cold.

All of a sudden, that home field advantage, gone.
