BGleas Posted September 2, 2023 Report Share Posted September 2, 2023 They should have tacked a taunting penalty on top if it. I don't have a huge problem with it, but Harrison flexing at IU's DB was the same as what IU got called for. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluegrassIU Posted September 2, 2023 Report Share Posted September 2, 2023 I feel bad for our defense. They have been really good today. They have to be exhausted. The final score will not be indicative of how well they have played. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoosier82 Posted September 2, 2023 Report Share Posted September 2, 2023 Curious as to why Turner hasn’t gotten more snaps. He’s had the most success rushing the ball. Pretty impressed with the defense today…offense needs…work Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thirdgenhoosier Posted September 2, 2023 Report Share Posted September 2, 2023 I think there is a lot to like in regards to the defense. Need to clean up special teams penalties. Offense has a ton of work to do. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IUCrazy2 Posted September 2, 2023 Report Share Posted September 2, 2023 So I am one of those people who doesn't really have the time or desire to follow sporting events unless I have a rooting interest in the team. I wish we could put together a football program AR some point in my lifetime so that there was something to watch in the fall.

Parakeet Jones Posted September 2, 2023 Report Share Posted September 2, 2023 My hope for today was that I would turn off the TV without my hopes for the year being completely crushed. Mission accomplished. There are obviously areas in need of improvement, but there was enough good there to give you some hope, particularly on defense. I’m interested to see if they are less conservative on the play calling next week and open up the offense some more against ISU. I get why they were like that today, but if that is still they way they call it next week that will be a bit concerning. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How innovative do you want an OC to be with two freshmen QBs playing against a defense with 5+ pros on it? This also wasn’t Bell operating in a silo. Allen wanted this game plan. I get why it’s frustrating to watch and root for but I can’t imagine opening up the playbook would have yielded better results Edited September 2, 2023 by Hoosier82 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Worst thing we could have done would have been to start slinging it and let our qb’s rack up multiple interceptions and kill their confidence. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We threw the ball 5 times in the first half and ran it 22 times. That’s about as conservative as you can be. Bell isn’t good enough. He’s been mediocre every where he’s been. This team has talent on both sides of the ball and I hope we figure it out offensively because we can win some games if we do, it’s just hard to have faith in Walt Bell. This game isn’t the start of the concerns. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seeking6 Posted September 3, 2023 Report Share Posted September 3, 2023 Just getting back from the game. First off. Bloomington you'll never change and we love it. The vibe and the town is still one of the best going. In terms of the game. Here's my 5 cent opinion. I get the strategy. When facing an opponent like that you shorten the game. The Patriots did that to Peyton for years so I understand. I will say though eventually at some point you have to take some shots but this isn't the game or script to do that. Our defense has something gang. Held one of the best WR's crew in all of college football essentially to nothing. Stover had a few...Harrison Jr was held in check. All in all. Casey Carr, Moore, Carter....phenomenal scheme today to disguise our stuff. No clue what Allen was thinking at end of first half. Coaches have first game mistakes too. Have to figure out a way to get JL in space but Ohio St has some pretty good players too (haha). Onto next week. Nothing to be ashamed about this one. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bell is terrible…we never got Lucas the ball in space or used him in the slot for 1 on 1’s…ran him up the middle instead…even the announcers go “ interesting to run 170 pound back up the middle” 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HoosierFan997 Posted September 3, 2023 Report Share Posted September 3, 2023 Nothing bad you can say about the defense, absolutely rock solid performance by them. Wish we saw more flashes from the offense today, just all around pretty poor showing from them. No idea which QB is better leaving that game. Neither one ever got a rhythm.
