For two schools with a lack of history against one another, you weren’t mistaken if Indiana’s 38-31 win over Nebraska in Lincoln on Saturday seemed to have a bit of an extra edge to it — perhaps one that went just beyond bowl eligibility or knocking off one of the more historic programs in the sport in front of 90,000 people.
What was the cause? Indiana chimed in and confirmed the bad blood both from players and admins after the game. Even the intentional-with-his-words Fred Glass chimed in publicly after Saturday’s win first on the matter — but was cryptic.
