What play should we have ran and why? What shifts/personnel/actions/motions would you have ran on 4th down to convert? If you don't have that dialed up... 🤷♂️🤷♂️ I really haven't posted much tonight, and didn't comment at all about the 4th down play. So not really sure how I'm whining.

Man, Peyton Ramsey was underappreciated by this fan base. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, all of the above is true. Maybe, just maybe, we focus on a single thing (Final Score) and make assumptions that things are much worse than what we remember, when, in reality, they are not. 5fls... you are exactly right. We view these games in a vacuum. Exactly why we played conservative there. Idk.. grab a stop here and see what happens. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IU878176 Posted October 3, 2021 Report Share Posted October 3, 2021 It’s ironic that we endured years of being able to score against nearly anyone we faced but were unable to stop anyone. 3rd and long was virtually a sure thing first down for opponents. Things have flipped as we now have a decent defense but the offense is putrid. The offense is worse than I thought possible this year (QB, OL and receivers). In spite of that I am feeling a little better about some of the upcoming games. The alleged big improvement of Rutgers, MD and PU has been exposed when they have played better teams while we, on the other hand, are not as good as hoped but we have played the number 4,5,7 teams in the country. We are not great, to say the least, but can still get 6 W’s and a bowl. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If for nothing else, the kid absolutely sacrificed his body despite his OL. Penix obviously isn’t interested in taking the kinda hits Peyton took and I don’t blame him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its maddening you guys blame the play calling for everythingggggggg.

Hoosier51 Posted October 3, 2021 Report Share Posted October 3, 2021 Really if our O-line would start blocking better IU can win this game. Now if they will that is the big question lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are not great, to say the least, but can still get 6 W’s and a bowl. Unfortunately, we have zero margin for error this year. After this weekend, we'll have 6 top 15 teams on the schedule, and 5 of them will likely be top 10. If it isn't the hardest schedule in the country, I'd like to see what is. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dgambill Posted October 3, 2021 Report Share Posted October 3, 2021 9 minutes ago, btownqb said: Agree. I specifically talking about our last 3 plays of the half. Only thing I was talking about at that point. There's wayyyyy more to our problems than our play calling on Saturdays. Yep. OL is a huge problem with an immobile qb. But man…got a 4th year qb making freshman mistakes, a senior TE and an all B1G supposedly WR dropping passes. Our only RB with any juice puts the ball on the ground too much…our playmakers have either read way too many press clippings this offseason or we let our success went to their head but I’m just flabbergasted that this is what we have put on the field this year. Defense has been lights out but something has to give with the O. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IU Scott Posted October 3, 2021 Report Share Posted October 3, 2021 After tho king about it O found a positive. If this was in the Bill Lunch days we would be down 45-0 instead of 14-0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know a struggling QB can make it tough for others on the offense, but almost all 11 guys on offense are playing worse this year than last year. Hendershot is definitely better, but I'm struggling to find anybody else. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leathernecks Posted October 3, 2021 Report Share Posted October 3, 2021 McFadden is having a great game except for that one miss on a blitz. That was obviously a huge play, but that guy is everywhere on the field. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
