  1. Don’t remember who the O-Line coach was when Wilson was head coach but would love to have him back. Our O-Line used to be a big strength back then. Hiller has been bad he has got to be let go

     if the offense doesn’t get better Sheridan as well. I’ve watched a lot of other offenses last couple weeks college and NFL just to compare to Sheridan and it’s not even close. The creativity and deigns have been better than Sheridan  in about every game  I’ve watched. He reminds me at ton of Deboard. The old OC we got Tennessee. Defense is just Teeing off on us because our O- Line isn’t good and our play calling is just as bad.

    Yup, completely agree. PSU was moving the ball consistently before Clifford got hurt and only scored 3 points after he went out. 

    Kind of embarrassing for Iowa really. Played backup QB for 3 quarters and I still wasn’t sure if they were going to pull it off in the end. OSU and Penn State are both top 10 teams. The BIG East is ridiculous! I’m so tired of East and West divisions.

    Probably. Penn State's D is legit though, I think with a healthy Clifford PSU can beat OSU. 

    I agree. I’m guessing Iowa makes it out the west but gets smacked in BIG title game. Penn State was the better team by a lot. Makes it that much harder now for BIG to get into playoffs with Penn State and OSU having one loss. Literally everything that could go right has gone right for Iowa. They are good top 20 team. But definitely not close to top 5 worthy.

    That OL will do that to a lot of QBs. 

    That plays a factor for sure but also Penix inability to move outside the pocket and extend plays with his legs or run some is a killer. He is a sitting duck back there. If your O line isn’t good you at least want someone back there that is mobile. How many times did Clifford hurt us with his legs running/extending plays. You have to be able to do that in college football! The days of solely being a pocket passer are pretty well gone if you want to win at a high level 

    unless your Alabama and you have the line full of 5 stars to protect the QB

    Nick Sheridan is an absolutely awful OC. I would love to see the stat breakdown on what percentage our first down plays are runs, because it has to be a stupidly high percentage. 
     

    and that’s with an offensive line that hasn’t been able to dominate anyone. 

    Expand  

    Coach Allen HAS to notice the dramatic regression from popular and successful IU OC, Kalen DeBor to current OC, Nick Sheridan….. Coach Allen quickly found new OC, DeBor after former OC, Mike DeBord retired. I feel DeBord and Sheridan are cut from the same tree. This has got to be an area of focus this off season. I wouldn’t be surprised if the OL performance and play calling  continued a downward spiral this season, that Coach Allen fires Sheridan or Hiller at the end of the season, if not before it’s over. It’s just a gut feeling I’ve had for some time. I’ve noticed several times after a particular poor offensive play call or set from IU,  the camera zooms in on Coach Allen and he’s visibly frustrated, appearing to be questioning certain play calls. I was trying to read his lips one particular time and I swear he said, “What the HECK was that???”

    In all his post game interviews with Fisher, Coach Allen keeps shouldering the blame for IU’s problems this year, as any good coach should. He keeps repeating the same thing, “ Our coaches have got to do a better job of coaching and preparing these player, … and it starts with me, I’m the head coach.” 
    I think he’s very pleased with all the coaches on the defensive side of the ball. I don’t think he’s confident with the job Sheridan and Hiller have done.

    Hiller definitely has got to go. I’m tired of our offensive line being bad every year. It used to actually be a strength under Wilson. Sheridan most likely gotta go as well. I’d like to see what happens with Tuttle under center though before I’m for sure but so far the offense has been way to predictable beside the Cincy game where we used some nice Mis Direction plays.
