D-BONE Posted November 18, 2023 Report Share Posted November 18, 2023 There was a lot of questionable officiating there at the end, but when it's all said and done, how do you get into position to succumb to it? If you can just win a winnable game on your own terms, you aren't in that position. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Parakeet Jones Posted November 18, 2023 Report Share Posted November 18, 2023 Terrible calls at the end, but we never should have put ourselves in that position to begin with. That is what upsets me more. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It shouldn't have gotten to that point vs a bad team, but missed a blatant hold and PI followed by the terrible grounding call. You're 100% right.

IU Scott Posted November 18, 2023 Report Share Posted November 18, 2023 We just kill ourselves with stupid penalties every game. I think we had 3 15 yard penalties today which kills you. We see this all the time from Allan's team and it is time to move on from him. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IU Scott Posted November 18, 2023 Report Share Posted November 18, 2023 Also why did we ice our own kicker before that FG attempt 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D-BONE Posted November 18, 2023 Report Share Posted November 18, 2023 Barely made it on the 4th and 1 to get all of maybe 4 yards closer for what turned out to be a missed FG. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're 100% right. Ref sees holding call. Thinks: Well, just would've been another missed TFA for IU. Might as well let it play out. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrflynn03 Posted November 18, 2023 Report Share Posted November 18, 2023 Hopefully we can build a team around Sorsby. I don't want another Penix type situation if he keeps playing like this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steubenhoosier Posted November 18, 2023 Report Share Posted November 18, 2023 Much better effort than last week but still same result. Yes, the missed calls were huge and had a meaningful impact on the outcome. For those critical of the tackling, watch most games and the concept of wrapping up is a lost art, so it seems. Hitting a guy hard and hoping he gets knocked down is now the norm and I think is the byproduct of less hitting in practice and less focus on fundamentals. The reaction of CTA at the end of the game was uncharacteristic of him and I think reflects his growing acknowledgment that he’s about to lose his job. I have rarely if ever seen him as angry as he was, especially in a game that was otherwise meaningless. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was a lot of potential reward. Hit on the pass play after getting the 1st down, and you're in a much better position to make the FG. Don't have an awful Intentional Grounding call and you still have a remaining timeout to run another play with 7 seconds left to get a few yards closer. The sequence of events that actually played out was so rare. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

D-BONE Posted November 18, 2023 Report Share Posted November 18, 2023 What this season has reinforced is we are a door mat in the East as currently constructed and mediocre at best in the West. We've played well the last 4 weeks by our standards, yet have almost nothing to show for it. And clearly won't finish close to bowl eligibility. Nothing particularly unusual, but if you're goal is to actually try to move this program toward a semblance of competitiveness then this isn't the regime. Another year of TA will simply show that yet again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, I'd be fine if they moved on regardless, but I think he had to win at least one of the last two. I'm giving him benefit of the doubt a) b/c of buyout and b) he's not any worse than anyone else we've tapped to try and revive our door mat program.

OLDIUFAN Posted November 18, 2023 Report Share Posted November 18, 2023 What is IU paying for Big Ten wins these last 4 years about 5 million a win? It’s not just Allen’s salary we got some high priced coordinators that haven’t done much either! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
