Hoosierdave Posted January 2, 2021 Report Share Posted January 2, 2021 I can admit that I’m in the fair weather fan category with IU football. It was super fun finally having a nationally recognized football team and beating the likes of Penn St, Michigan, and Wisconsin. Im hoping this season is the turning point and we can become a regularly ranked team. I’m cautiously optimistic we’ll be a preseason top 20 team for 2021. However, today was a STRONG reminder of how far Indiana football has to go. We labeled the Outback Bowl against a 4-5 Ole Miss team our “super bowl”, and lost to a team that didn’t have 75% of their offensive production.

FritzIam4IU Posted January 2, 2021 Report Share Posted January 2, 2021 I'm not blaming Tuttle for this especially with the injury he clearly suffered in first half...but the OC needed to realize 1. The game plan he drew up was clearly not working and 2. Needed to make adjustments with Tuttle being injured. I didn't see either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cbp4IU Posted January 2, 2021 Report Share Posted January 2, 2021 I know Tom Allen has preached finish this year. But it seemed a lot of the times IU’s offense started flat. I don’t know how one would correct that but... The slow starts can’t happen next year with the schedule being tougher. I think Tom Allen will do everything to help Penix out though. Cheers everyone to good season. Let’s kick butt next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beowulf50 Posted January 2, 2021 Report Share Posted January 2, 2021 All I have to say is that in the worst year that many of us have ever seen.... IU football has been a bright spot!!

FWIUFan Posted January 2, 2021 Report Share Posted January 2, 2021 Disappointed in loss for sure. However as others have stated doesn't take away from all that has been accomplished this year and the foundation CTA is laying for IUFB going forward. Kudos to Tuttle. Truly amazing he finished that game suffering from a separated shoulder. Kid is obviously tough as nails. We are going to need him next year since Penix seems to be much more brittle. Seems to have enough tools to perform well with the right offensive scheme. Hope he learns from today, heals, and gets back in the saddle for next season. I wasn't impressed with either the OC or the DC game plan today. D had lost coverages all day long and not nearly enough pressure on theiir QB. Seemed to have all day. More dismayed with OC. Obvious early in game that the run was the better option. Didn't really commit to it until 2nd Half once Tuttle injured Then got away from it again on.final possession. CTA also bears some responsibility since he approved the game plan and didn't demand changes when not working. The entire coaching staff needs to learn From the problems today Still love CTA and IUFB. Looking forward to next season. Thanks to the seniors who are leaving after this year and congratulations on their accomplishments. They got the IUFB program on an upward trajectory and I appreciate all the have done.

Hoosier Daddy 4 Posted January 2, 2021 Report Share Posted January 2, 2021 We need to keep this year’s momentum going with recruiting. Obviously would have loved the win today but need to keep improving our athleticism. It showed today vs the SEC. and our goal is to compete against them.

southsidehoosier Posted January 2, 2021 Report Share Posted January 2, 2021 If we want to get respect with the CFP or rankings we’ll eventually have to breakthrough and win one of these bowl games. I’m frustrated with almost in these winnable games. Especially when our losses are self-inflicted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FWIUFan Posted January 2, 2021 Report Share Posted January 2, 2021 For those complaining about being slighted. Shut up and next year don't bitch about your opponent. Let you play on the field speak for itself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoosierfan1901 Posted January 2, 2021 Report Share Posted January 2, 2021 Can’t blame Tuttle at all, made mistakes, but is still considered inexperienced with only 2 starts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leathernecks Posted January 2, 2021 Report Share Posted January 2, 2021 I'm as upset as anyone about today, but you know this has to sting for the kids. A lot of them used last year's bowl game loss as offseason motivation, and I'm sure this year will be no different. At some point a bowl win would be nice though!

jojo123 Posted January 2, 2021 Report Share Posted January 2, 2021 We just looked lethargic and two steps slow all day. did someone slip a slug drug in our Gatorade? We should have run the ball a lot more way to many meaningless passes. we didn't run the ball well all year? maybe a change is needed there coach? Horrible play calling on that last drive? WTF?

slojoe Posted January 2, 2021 Report Share Posted January 2, 2021 To make up for the loss let's make it 2 post-season bowls next year -- semi-final and final of College Football Championship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In 2d half many of his throws were short passes to Whop and some longer "jump balls" to Fryfogle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
