BLOOMINGTON, Ind. – It was all there for the taking against No. 8 Cincinnati on a spectacular sun-splashed Saturday afternoon at sold-out Memorial Stadium (52,656 strong) -- a defining victory, validation that this would be a spectacular Cream & Crimson run, that the season-opening Iowa disappointment was an aberration.
That it didn't happen -- the 38-24 loss was fueled by four turnovers, two key defensive penalties and one botched snap -- will hurt for a long time.
"This one is on us," head coach Tom Allen said.
So is the will to rise from 1-2 adversity.
