Kevin Wilson raised some eyebrows this week when he called out Indiana fans. Understandably, Wilson wanted to see a four-quarter performance out of everyone at Memorial Stadium on Saturday.
Unfortunately for the IU coach, that doesn’t appear to be happening.
His team dug itself a 14-point hole at halftime. For IU, that was about the worst possible thing that could’ve happened.
Why? Because fans left:

That’s the IU student section side, which is notorious for not sticking things out when things get rough. Despite Wilson calling them out, that certainly doesn’t appear to be happening.
On the bright side, IU did score a touchdown early in the third quarter. At least the fans that stayed are being entertained by some better football by the home team.
