Reacher Posted November 28, 2020 Report Share Posted November 28, 2020 I'm a little worried that they may have the edge in the trenches. No way to emphasize what a big game this is for IU. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

go_iu_bb Posted November 29, 2020 Report Share Posted November 29, 2020 This will be the 3rd team in a row that IU will play that will be coming off their game the previous week (or more) having been canceled. So basically teams coming off a bye week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madmax Posted November 29, 2020 Report Share Posted November 29, 2020 Will obviously be very interesting to see what happens with Penix this week, though I think all things considered, Tuttle played really well today. He should also get 1st team reps all week and hopefully get worked into things smoothly which should help. I was sort of hoping Sheridan would open the playbook up for him a little bit more today than he did, but I understand situationly it made the most sense to feed the running game. I do worry for our run defense against Wisconsin, but I don’t get the feeling this is a game we can’t win without Penix. I’d guess with Penix the spread would be around -7.5 or so for Wisconsin.

D-BONE Posted November 29, 2020 Report Share Posted November 29, 2020 As others have indicated, I think it comes down to our ability to compete in the trenches. UW is the quintessential ground and pound team. They will look to challenge our run D, which has not been consistently air tight despite overall strong defense. If Tuttle does turn out to be the starter, he'll need excellent protection for us to have any chance. Don't think we can expect major contributions from our run game. Although, if we do get it, then our chances go up significantly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I liked what I saw yesterday between those 2 players, Scott is more of a power back Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
