We definitely need more talent, but a lot of our Jimmies and Joes look worse this year than last year. Pretty much everybody on the offense outside of Hendershot is playing worse than they did last year. That's a major issue. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fryfogle was wildly overrated, Penix had 3 season ending injuries. Throw in DJ Mathews injury.. and there ya go. Marshall, Swinton, Hewitt.. notta. We don't have a single WR that can get any sort of YAC, at all Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Compound that with the fact that the OL can’t hold blocks to give them extra time or create holes and you have our offense in a nutshell.

Rev_AK Posted October 16, 2021 Report Share Posted October 16, 2021 We now know why Penix was playing when he wasn’t 100%, and maybe never fully recovered from last year’s injuries. (Or the year before, and so on) The defense showed that we were built to win games now, but the QB play this season has been very poor. I think our WR corps would be much better if they were not forced to run 5 yard crossing routes all game, or “high point” the ball all the time. Carr is a tough runner, but just not as good as Scott. This is a team with good bones, but problems at OL, QB, and RB has doomed the season. That- and the McFadden ejection. The turnaround is going to take a step back this year, but I still believe. I think? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zuckerkorn Posted October 16, 2021 Report Share Posted October 16, 2021 Let's face it, last season was a fluke and we still got embarrassed in a second-rate bowl game. That said, no reason to make changes at the top - we'll just get another coordinator/assistant coach level replacement. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let's not forget we lost leaders on offense in Whop and Scott. The Line hasn't been good since we had a few pros on it, and Scott was awesome as a blocker. I always go back to the conservative play calling. Even MSU threw some trickery in there and it worked. You want to play top 10 football, open the playbook. Create change.

IU Scott Posted October 16, 2021 Report Share Posted October 16, 2021 (edited) Well my prediction of 7-5 seems like it won't happen now. What is bad I had us at 4-2 through the first 6 games so it if we finish how I predicted there will be no bowl game this year.. I didn't see the game but how it sounded we had a lot of back shoulder fades and I really hate those throws. They are a pretty low percentage throws unless you have a great passer and receivers. It seems like a lot of our passes are outside the hash marks or a swing pass. It seems like we don't use the middle of the field especially down the field. It seems like a lot of the plays requires our WR to be able to make one person miss but our guys are not capable of that. It is without saying the worst part of this team is the OL. I blame Hitler for not developing the players and his lack of recruiting that position. Edited October 16, 2021 by IU Scott Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slojoe Posted October 16, 2021 Report Share Posted October 16, 2021 Our defense was very good. We shut down their RB as he got 84 on 23 for 3.7. Except for the pick 6 our offense was better than theirs which isn't saying much. Their QB not much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dgambill Posted October 16, 2021 Report Share Posted October 16, 2021 Defense is for real. We are wasting a top 15 defense with an offense that wouldn’t rate top 15 in the FCS much less top 100 in FBS. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IU Scott Posted October 16, 2021 Report Share Posted October 16, 2021 We just have to start recruiting better offensive players. I know we have gotten some good players the last couple of years and it is time to see them. I know wr have 3 freshman WR's and I don't know why they don't see playing time.
