IU football coach Curt Cignetti asks fans to pack their skirts against Maryland

IU football is 4-0, and a win Saturday over Maryland would make it 5-0 for the first time since the Hoosiers' only Rose Bowl season (yes, IU has made a Rose Bowl).

Admittedly, the competition in the three home games wasn't particularly enticing (FIU, Western Illinois and Charlotte), but under first-year head coach Curt Cignetti, IU is on fire. The Hoosiers rank second in touchdowns scored, trailing only Texas at No. 1.

Osterman:With one of the biggest IU home games in years, Curt Cignetti needs you there.

However, it was quite noticeable at home games that the student section of Memorial Stadium pretty much emptied out after halftime. There have been complaints about hot weather, poor WiFi so students can't snap during games, and no halftime break to keep people interested.
