Indiana football fans have spent the past six months basking in the glory of the program’s first national title. The rest of the state has spent that time reasoning with it.

There are two other power teams in the state, Notre Dame and Purdue, the latter being Indiana’s in-state rival. Both Marcus Freeman of the Fighting Irish and Barry Odom of the Boilermakers have been asked about the Hoosiers’ title and how it feels in the time since it was won. Freeman was responding to Stephen A. Smith on ESPN while Odom was asked about it in a conversation with On3.

It’s an interesting perspective to look upon Indiana’s title from and one worth keeping in mind as time goes on.
