Hoosier82 Posted November 27, 2022 Report Share Posted November 27, 2022 Penix in DeBoer’s offense makes Bazelak look like the guy from the frat football league hardo, that swears had he avoided that sprained ankle in high school, he’d be playing D1.

It is really enjoyable and nauseating to watch at the same time. I was at the Cincinnati game in Bloomington last year, and Penix was totally lost. Based on what Penix has done this season, I have to put 99.9% of that on the IU coaching staff. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah...it's pretty obvious that DeBoer was the reason for Penix' success. I thought he was finished after he left IU. But back with DeBoer and behind a solid line...he's flourished.

Penix's best year here was under Sheridan. Coaching (and moreso the o-line) was a big problem last year, but just as big of a problem was that Penix was really not yet ready to come back last season. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seeking6 Posted November 27, 2022 Report Share Posted November 27, 2022 So best guess it's Georgia, Michigan, TCU, and Ohio St when new standings come out. Will now come down to (barring conference title game losses) whether the committee thinks a 1 loss Ohio St team to overall #2 is better/worse than 1 loss USC team who lost to overall #15 Utah. Unless something crazy happens next weekend (TCU, USC losses) you just can't put Bama in over LSU/Tennessee because they were beaten by them both. You can't put LSU in with 3 losses. The loss at unranked South Carolina by UT is big enough you can't overlook it since it's their 2nd. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seeking6 Posted November 27, 2022 Report Share Posted November 27, 2022 I think he goes overlooked because of what Penix/Deboer are doing but Kane Wommack in 2 short years gone from 5 wins to 10th win last night. Somebody down South is going to pick this guy up eventually. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bazelak looks like he should be in a slow pitch softball league not on a football field. Incompetent coaching kept him on the field for as long as he was.

Madison22 Posted November 27, 2022 Report Share Posted November 27, 2022 (edited) Luke Fickell, from the Univ of Cincinnati to Wisconsin. Now reported as a done deal by ESPN. Edit: didn't see @Rico post before mine. Jeepers, it's hard to break news on this site. https://www.nbc15.com/2022/11/27/report-wisconsin-considers-luke-fickell-head-coach/ Edited November 27, 2022 by Madison22 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seeking6 Posted November 27, 2022 Report Share Posted November 27, 2022 I'll say this Jim Leonhard will have about 20 options to choose from. Might be funny if Cincy hires him. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deboer, while a great coach, isn't singularly responsible for Penix's success. Last year Penix wasn't successful in large part because he wasn't ready to return. Sure, there are lots of other factors that contributed to his poor play that were outside his control, but most people overlook the fact that he wasn't playing much better than Bazelak has this year. In 2020, though, he looked nearly as good as he does this year. Regardless, it's eminently obvious at this point that IU needs a dual threat QB, or even a run first QB to be successful. We were rolling yesterday before Williams got hurt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He turned down MSU a couple of years ago and now will take the UW job. Shod tell you what coaches think about MSU and your chances there. Everybody knows that at MSU you will always be second fiddle in the state of Michigan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
