You practice them against inferior opponents in in real time action so you do two things. 1) show opponents a new look and 2) actually practice them like I said in real time I agree. Gives opponents something to think about and worry about for future games and provides good opportunities for practice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is zero chance that 4 wide to one side stack QB draw works against a team like OSU or PSU. I got no problem using it here. In fact I use that same formation against a team like Purdue or Maryland and run a totally different play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which is exactly the reason you do a few wrinkles like this against a team like Rutgers. Few of the IU follows on twitter are pretty funny today. What are they expecting? We score 24 on the road in the first half and Rutgers lone TD was because of the penalty on 3rd down. I'm just saying let's be a tad realistic. Apparently KB thinks we are Bama.

jv1972iu Posted September 29, 2018 Report Share Posted September 29, 2018 Not sure why anyone should be unhappy. IU up 17 on the road...292 yds total offense to Rutgers 134...IU has 4 drives and 4 scores...17+ time of possession to 12+ for Rutgers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rogue3542 Posted September 29, 2018 Report Share Posted September 29, 2018 I'd start with Ramsey. If we go up another touchdown, I'd give Penix some time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leathernecks Posted September 29, 2018 Report Share Posted September 29, 2018 I'm not unhappy about the first half, but we're doing the same things we've been doing that aren't going to work against the good teams. Rutgers is just terrible so they work. Hardly any passes more than 15 yards downfield, and inaccurate when attempted. Not doing anything to get the running game going. I liked the first trick play to Taylor, but the 2nd one was either poorly designed or poorly executed. The ball went from QB to RB to WR and back to QB and it didn't move much more than 5 feet. Nobody was fooled on that one. I was hoping to either see us dominate on the ground or push the ball down the field. I don't care if we can carve up Rutgers with 5-10 yard passes. That isn't going to cut it against the top 5 teams on our schedule. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seeking6 Posted September 29, 2018 Report Share Posted September 29, 2018 Decision on Penix has to be if you want to burn his redshirt year. He's played in 2 games already. If we get up big in normal times I would say yes...but burning a game here with Penix doesn't make much sense to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm good with that. Put Rutgers away and then substitute in Penix. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would guess they're saving Penix at this point for if Ramsey gets hurt. This would give them 2 games for Ramsey to miss with injury and not use up Penix's redshirt. Then they can play him in the Purdue game and maybe in a bowl game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rogue3542 Posted September 29, 2018 Report Share Posted September 29, 2018 The only concern I have with that is that he hasn't exactly moved the offense well in the drives he's played (outside of one against FIU), and I'd like to see him get some momentum going in that regard. I certainly get preserving his redshirt, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CauseThatsMyDJ Posted September 29, 2018 Author Report Share Posted September 29, 2018 Rutgers lost to Buffalo 42-13 and Kansas 55-14, in case you guys forgot. Winning while keeping Rutgers within striking distance is not a good sign for this team. This needs to be a blow out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What do you want? I feel nothing in the sense that Rutgers is 'hanging around'. They aren't. We've scored 4 of the 5 times we've had the ball.

rogue3542 Posted September 29, 2018 Report Share Posted September 29, 2018 I'm so sick of IU coming out and playing not to lose in the second half. We should NEVER take our foot off the gas; I don't care who we are playing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Artesian_86 Posted September 29, 2018 Report Share Posted September 29, 2018 Is it just me, but doesn't Stevie look slow off the start? It seems like it takes him forever to get going. I wonder how long CTA will sit Scott for that blunder? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
