Your QB Could Never: Indiana QB Kurtis Rourke Played The Entire 2024 College Football Season On A Torn ACL
On3: Kurtis Rourke, Indiana University's star quarterback, played the entire 2024 season with a torn ACL, an injury he sustained in August. His resilience was not just in enduring the pain but in leading the Hoosiers to a remarkable season, culminating in their first College Football Playoff appearance. Rourke's performance was stellar, throwing for 3,042 yards, 29 touchdowns, and only 5 interceptions, setting a new single-season passing touchdown record for Indiana.
Legend. Dawg. Him. I thought Rourke was gutsy for rushing back to play two weeks after breaking his thumb on his throwing hand, but now that news has surfaced that he played the entire 2024 season on a torn ACL (while having a historic season) makes Rourke THAT FUCKING GUY. You won't find that kind of grit in the SEC, hell you can hardly find it in the NFL *cough* Anthony Richardson *cough*
I've been defending Indiana football all season from the onslaught of brain washed haters that have been at the Hoosier's throats. At this point I'm just standing on the wall, protecting the empire, by hurling the same points back at these hayseed SEC fans and NCAA propaganda machine ESPN employees that I'm starting to drive myself crazy. It doesn't matter how many times you present facts, these smooth brained simpletons are just going to go off what they feel should be right. Simply going off vibes instead of concrete evidence, and that list of evidence has only grown for the legitimacy of IU football. The 3 win SEC schools deserved to be in the playoff theory is as dead as the entire SEC (which might only be the 3rd best conference in college football.) NOW, you have bomb dropped that Kurtis Rourke DOMINATED the best conference in football on one leg, while the only teams Indiana lost to are two teams that are about to be playing in the National Title Game (you heard it here first.)
The most annoying part of the undeserved Indiana hate was that when the evidence proved the haters were completely wrong about the Hoosiers, the haters either remained completely silent, OR altogether denied that they ever created this false narrative. While the media / SEC ball washers decided to trash the Hoosiers and take zero accountability, true ball knowers know its facts over feelings. Since everyone loves to live in hypotheticals, the haters should hypothetically go jump off a bridge. Indiana belonged, and Kurtis Rourke is a total stud for having an incredible season on a torn ACL.
