I can see having the students at the tunnel to intimidate the opposing team and give our team more of a home field advantage

I highly doubt any football player is intimidated by a student section. :-)  I'm pretty sure the decision to move the students and the Band to the corner around the tunnel was completely for TV purposes.

I feel Luck mentioned something like it in his email explaining decision.  I'm not saying it will work, mind you, but that was part of their thinking.  And probably gets the students louder if they think they're having an effect.
