history mean people series stories talk
That (the 9-1 mark) doesn't mean anything this week. The history of the series is something people need to write stories about or talk about (on the radio). It doesn't really have anything to do with the game.

We definitely need a pass rush. IU throws well and they've got a good line to protect them.
