D-BONE

Carter seems to be getting open downfield with relative ease early on. Keep going to that well until they stop it.

Staggering ineptitude on display everywhere.

Howland was wide open underneath about 4 yards short of 1st down marker with a decent chance to run for it.

Good grief! Dropped the well thrown deep ball. Wide open.

Well, after those first two possessions, it's painfully obvious why these teams are B1G doormats.

This is the bowl game for both teams and the toilet bowl game of the B1G. Sad situation, but I'd take a bucket W anytime!

Just trying to rationalize something semi-worth watching for.

Well, I'd be fine if they moved on regardless, but I think he had to win at least one of the last two. I'm giving him benefit of the doubt a) b/c of buyout and b) he's not any worse than anyone else we've tapped to try and revive our door mat program.

What this season has reinforced is we are a door mat in the East as currently constructed and mediocre at best in the West. We've played well the last 4 weeks by our standards, yet have almost nothing to show for it. And clearly won't finish close to bowl eligibility. Nothing particularly unusual, but if you're goal is to actually try to move this program toward a semblance of competitiveness then this isn't the regime. Another year of TA will simply show that yet again.

Must win for Allen next week.

Ref sees holding call. Thinks: Well, just would've been another missed TFA for IU. Might as well let it play out.

Barely made it on the 4th and 1 to get all of maybe 4 yards closer for what turned out to be a missed FG.

There was a lot of questionable officiating there at the end, but when it's all said and done, how do you get into position to succumb to it? If you can just win a winnable game on your own terms, you aren't in that position.

Allen one more chance to save his job next week???

Discretion not available my ass.

What was the similar intentional grounding call last week? Pro? College?

Lucky to get 1st on that 4th.

Fake it!

This is just painful. Please make the FG.

Again, hold not withstanding, our D continues to be in position time after time to get TFAs and we can't take them down.

Well, D couldn't do it. Hold or not, gotta get a stop. Epic fail. Pressure back on the O.

The result was a massive choke, but did they not see 53 hold the rusher?

Offense did their job. D needs to come through and that's a W.

Need to convert this drive into Spartan half in a TD.

Comically bad offenses.
