OLDIUFAN

I don’t know what type of injuries we have, just hope we can get everyone healthy before the season starts! 

Losing to top 10 teams isn’t what’s embarrassing! Scoring what 35 total points in  4 Big Ten games is! Our offense is a total joke! 
Realistic if you were a promising QB, would you come to Indiana to get your brains beat out because we can’t block! Are a running back why would you come here! 
Our  only chance is to finish strong with a Freshman who looked lost and a walk on QB. I have a feeling the OL will get these guys hurt also.

I would give some other linemen a chance to play.  

We need to hit the portal really hard on both lines, every position.  OT, Inside OL, DT, DE.  All of them.  

I agree on hitting the transfer Portal really hard!

Hate to say it, but it’s true…..I feel the state of this year’s OL is partially if not totally responsible for the current state of our QBs…

I agree

Now outscored 132-28 in four B1G games. 

Probably down to 3rd an 4th string QBs! We have the weakest offensive line in the league don’t see us scoring much the rest of the year! 

You can say McFadden being kicked out changed our out look all you want but, I feel it’s all comes down to the offense line! 
Harried passes that lead to pick sixes! Are untimely interceptions. A real lack of a running game! 
just can’t believe we didn’t see these glaring short comes in spring an fall camps! 

They were saying after the first game! OSU coach was disappointed in his defense and he changed who was calling the defense! One game! 
That seems to be a little quick but man! Tells me he holds his coaches accountable!

It’s hard to believe this is the same team as last year ! Changes need to be made! Starting at Hiller. Then who ever missed what a bad job he was doing ! 

I don’t think that means much really! Kids come to play no fun no matter how much LOE is going on if your not playing! Sampson want to leave a year ago! Then got passed up by Carr, the other guy fumbled his way off the field that’s way he left! I haven’t heard anything about Tracy so feeling it’s a playing time issue ! 
Riding the bench on a losing team! Is tough!

Hadn’t heard much about either player ? We’re they get playing time? 

Yes our schedule is brutal, but any offense at all and we are 4 2. Cinn game pick six and some other costly interceptions and a fumble late at the 4 yard line. MSU, gave them at least 10 points in a 20 ,15 lose! 
so pissed we have squandered this great opportunity to move out program forward! 
we wasted years with Lynch, then Doug Mallory at DC was horrible wasted some great offensive teams. Now Hiller and Nick Sheridan. Who has faith in either one? We have a top defense and a bottom of the barrel offense!

This offense reminds me of when Mike DeBord was the OC… It improved dramatically the next year after he stepped down when they hired Kalen DeBoer…Man, I miss Kalen.

I agree, all I keep hearing is lack of execution! Well who’s fault is that! Yes the player has to execute, but the coach has to have him ready and know how  to execute! 
when the QB makes his read he needs to figure out the coverage. That should tell him who has the best chance of being open! 
I don’t have the ability to coach at that level. Neither does Hiller or Sheridan in my opinion!
 

So during a off week our coaches evaluate the the position they coached! I didn’t see where we were any better. 
Defense was awesome! I don’t think our offensive coaches have a clue how to get us where we need to be! 
Hate them all you want an I do ,but Purdue took Iowa to the woodshed after their extra week to prepare! 
Does anyone believe our offense can really be good! I drink the koolaid but I’ve be puking it up! They have not shown me anything! 

I am so tried of our offense losing these games for us! Can’t score in the red zone can’t go a game without a pick six! How many points can you lay directly at the offensive feet!

A pick six , then another interception at lead ,I believe to another! Not sure touch down are field goal, but either way that’s 10 or 14 of their 20 points! 
We need a line coach an a OC! Next year !!!!

I would love to be able to listen to what OL an OC coaches said in their analysis report to Coach Allen! 

I am not a coach, that being said I would think those assistants coaches want to protect their big salaries. So I am hoping they are playing the best players to give us a chance to win. 
In my mind I appreciate them giving Penix a chance to find himself, just feel with fall practice and a few games you could see he was off. 
I’ve lost faith in OC an the OL coach. The running back coach is new and he should get more time to show he can right the running backs. 
I’ve not like our OL coach can’t remember the last time we had a great line. Time to look elsewhere for that job this off season. 
OC I would say these last games will sign his fate at IU. It’s hard to say was the OLine limiting his play calling. Was Penix that bad making wrong reads very inaccurate. The bottom line it’s his call to get this fixed! Should have been fixed in fall practice. 

Was read an article the said Tom Allen wanted a report an analysis from each asst coach trying to figure out how to make the team better. He was really wanting to hear from the offense. 
Here my take, first I think Tuttle is going to help right away. 2. Look at the offensive line. We have got to get some push an open up some holes. Then look at our OC ask him what has he been doing. What are we doing when we get in the red zone! 
I hope they find something! That can be fixed now! 

I agree this OLine has been very disappointing, Penix hasn’t been himself all year, an now I assume is out for the season again. So time for Tuttle to step up an take over. Also time for Ty Fryfogle to come to the game! He has really been off this year also. I feel he isn’t putting in the same effort as last year! 

Our offensive line coach has got to Shake every time we go for it on 4th an 1. He knows we will fail and he knows it’s another nail in his coffin.

Love HCTA, but to a fault he has stayed loyal to Penix when it’s clear that he is not the same player as pre-injury last year. Not sure we would have won any of the games we’ve lost this year but we at least would have shown more offensively.

Whether Penix is done for the season or not, I think it’s time to move on. Start Tuttle but also give the freshman from Indy a chance so we can see how he has developed so far

I agree

As bad as it seems for IU football right now, and they definitely should have been more competitive against Iowa and PSU, the reality is they're 2-3 with losses to most likely the current 3rd, 4th and 5th ranked teams in the country. 2 of those on the road. 

I get what your saying and agree, but our offense doesn’t show any fight in them! Only Hendershot seems to want to play! The interception at the 10. Ty Fogfogle didn’t make the same effort to get that ball as he did last year! If he was going to catch it he should make sure the defense doesn’t catch it.  In my opinion! That seems to be the attitude of the offense. 

Tuttle, I think he will be fine! If Penix has another season ending injury. When to you cut him loss for his own health? We are wasting a really good Defense this year! 
if our offense could stay on the field and score some , I think this Defense could even be better! 

Need an offense! 

Our offense is awful! 

Our offense line sucks!
