Our backs look slow to the hole. I think it is a combination. A lot of our runs are extremely vanilla and predictable. If the defense knows what to defend, you aren't going to be able to do much. The second is that our OL just isn't getting any push at all. They haven't been doing it against average teams, and they definitely didn't today. I think part of the reason we're slow to the hole is because there is no hole. The backs take a second to see if there is anything, but there usually isn't. We brought in a ton of OL in the last couple classes, so hopefully we can build some depth there. They're mostly still raw though, so it might be a couple years before it pays off. Not that I think Hiller has been bad, but I think he's been pretty average for us. Kind of like Hagen was for the DL. I wouldn't be upset if he moved on. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

OLDIUFAN 329 Posted November 21, 2020 Report Share Posted November 21, 2020 Sometimes you have to bounce! Jump outside run to a crease! Something. Ok Ohio st control our offense line. But we haven’t ran the ball well all year. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
GaloisGroupe 328 Posted November 21, 2020 Report Share Posted November 21, 2020 (edited) Nice showing... I totally wanted the win at the end there. We played like we could. Edited November 21, 2020 by GaloisGroupe 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

IU's quarterback is better than OSU's. No doubt. What would Penix do with 300 rushing yards? It’s amazing what he did playing the whole second half in an empty backfield set.

On Gameday, after the piece on LEO, Rece Davis said , "I'm not trying to help anybody recruit, but you start seeing that and the first thing you think as a player, I'll play for that guy." Lot's of national guys have jumped on the IU bandwagon. We only have a couple spots left for this year's class, but I think we're really going to see a jump in the 2022 recruits we get. 3 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
IU Scott 8,126 Posted November 21, 2020 Report Share Posted November 21, 2020 Question about the 9th game how will it be determined who the home team is. Also say we finish 2nd and UW finishes second but they don't want to have games against teams you already have played. If PU finishes 3rd then they wouldn't want a rematch there either Quote Link to post Share on other sites

southsidehoosier 548 Posted November 21, 2020 Report Share Posted November 21, 2020 Man on that 2nd to last series. Wish we could’ve had a 3 and manageable to go for it on 4th. Instead we take a sack Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Kind of like Hagen was for the DL. I wouldn't be upset if he moved on. Totally agree! Will say the line has been protecting Penix pretty well. That's a good thing. But, if you can't run against Rutgers, how can you against OSU. Even the top 4 mix it up in the run game, they are deceptive, change directions and get the ball in playmakers hands through the running game. IU, same thing...which would be great if we got away with holding, or were better at creating lanes. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
rico 10,001 Posted November 21, 2020 Report Share Posted November 21, 2020 We can still get a NY's 6 bowl. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Steubenhoosier 3,195 Posted November 21, 2020 Report Share Posted November 21, 2020 As I thought, O-line couldn’t get any push and are the weak link of this team. The running backs are good enough, but can’t make holes appear magically. Very proud of the effort and we showed we belong. Little things here and there to clean up. We should be favored in the Maryland game assuming we play and Purdue. I feel the Wisconsin game is probably a toss up. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Justin Fields has everything to loose...college playoffs, NFL high pick....he is running. I get the arm is great, there were some plays he has an open lane to run and didn't. Could of wxtended a few drives that ended. Kid put on 25lbs of muscle, could be different story this year. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I could care less had it been bad,either. Speaking as objectively as possible; On the other hand, there is an age range where the context doesn't matter because LeBron James said it . He won't likely be alone there , which is the best part for any possible improved overall perception of IU. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
