Indiana University Verus Western Illinois University While Scoreboard Malfunctions


 

Rewriting, Indiana football: Scoreboard malfunctions during Western Illinois game - Yahoo Sports

    BLOOMINGTON — The second half of Indiana football's game against  Western Illinois University[1] on Friday night started with officials keeping time on the field after the scoreboards at Memorial Stadium became in operational”

    The scoreboards went dark at the end of halftime and there was a brief delay as officials discussed the issue. The Hoosiers have scoreboards located in each end zone and the game day feed didn't turn back on until there was 10:33 left in the third quarter. They briefly aired a mini-version of the television broadcast.” I would change this last sentence to say, “They briefly aired a small scale of Big Ten Network[2]  broadcast’s on the working parts of the scoreboard.”

    Indiana football went into halftime with a 42-3 lead over the Leathernecks. The Hoosiers scored on their first six possessions and didn't allow a first down until there was less than two minutes to go in the second quarter.

Reasonings behind the links:

1.          I chose to add a link to Western Illinois University Football page because both teams involved in this incidence, should have links to their home page on this article.

2.                 The Big 10 network that Indiana used on the scoreboard should have been mentioned in this article to give them credit. I was there at the game, and the broadcast had a score bug, that had all the information the original Indiana scoreboard had. It was a semi quick fix, but the Big 10 broadcast bug allowed for the referees not to worry about repeating the downs and yards over the speakers.
