iu2win Posted August 26, 2019 Report Share Posted August 26, 2019 I think Penix is the right choice. Living here in FL, just North of Tampa, I can tell you the locals here expect big things out of Penix. He was named Tampa region player of the year in high school and that is quite an accomplishment given the talent pool in this area. So glad Florida State chose to change coaches the year MP was expected to sign with them. Go Hoosiers !!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zlinedavid Posted August 27, 2019 Report Share Posted August 27, 2019 Ramsey ain't leaving. He's a coach's son and a bright kid who knows his future isn't in the NFL. He'll be ready if called on, and he'll give 100% if he sees the field. He's probably also helping Penix and Tuttle in learning the play book. But make no mistake, he'll gladly step in if they falter.

Injuries happen. And unfortunately are part of the game. Is why we don't know that much about Penix. Injuries even shut down careers. Look at Luck. So. Ramsey needs to be ready. His career is not over. Just needs to keep his head in the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Parakeet Jones Posted August 28, 2019 Report Share Posted August 28, 2019 Before long the rest of the B1G is going to have Penix envy. I am trademarking that one here and now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This series is absolutely amazing. The writer sets the table then avoids getting in their own way. Sometimes all it takes to write a good article is just find something people would be interested in then allow the human subjects' quotes drive the pieces when it is about them. I not only appreciate the share, but also recommend reading the rest of it. Pts 1 and 3 go into how Allen is gaining a really strong foothold in the state, and how the coaches in Florida are increasingly viewing IU- as well as how players there are coming to see Indiana as standing out thanks to Allen's approach and the way he put his staff together to pull in one direction. Raekwon Jones and his family dealing with being so far apart during Hurricane Michael. So it also ties together well as series in more of a football way in the context of coaching and both the offensive and defensive leader on this team. And not to mention the author's own story. It is an all around gem so far. I'm already looking forward to part 4 tomorrow, actually. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leathernecks Posted August 28, 2019 Report Share Posted August 28, 2019 I almost forget that Penix still has 4 years to play here. It seems like forever ago when we were recruiting him, and I remember at the time hearing about how we sent all our coaches down there on a visit. If he stays for 4 years and doesn't get hurt very much, he could shatter records here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IUguy Posted August 28, 2019 Report Share Posted August 28, 2019 Well, I like Ramsey. He is at least dependable, and he doesn't turn the ball over. Penix deserves a shot, and as long as he doesn't become an interception machine he may work out. Not sure about the new guy, but i would hate to see Ramsey relegated to third string.

iu2win Posted August 29, 2019 Report Share Posted August 29, 2019 I think Penix threw only 6 interceptions (total) in High School. Granted, he is about to face a Big Ten schedule but 6 picks total against some very good competition in the Tampa Area . . . certainly gives me confidence he will not become an interception machine.

Looks like 1945, 47, 89, and 90 are tied for the most wins in a 4 year span for the program (27). So it looks like it probably was Schnell or someone from 45 or 47 that I can't find reliable stats for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However in those days I don't think there was a set QB. The snap could go to anyone in the back field. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cybergates Posted August 29, 2019 Author Report Share Posted August 29, 2019 Same with the exception of, oddly enough, info on the 45 team from a place that had no info on the 47 team. I think you're right. There were 9 players with passing yards, ranging from 10 to 593. https://www.sports-reference.com/cfb/schools/indiana/1945.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leathernecks Posted August 29, 2019 Report Share Posted August 29, 2019 It looks like we only won 18 games during Green's 3 seasons he actually played. He only threw 10 passes as a freshman, so I didn't count that. His sophomore year he only threw 128 passes, so I don't know if he started many of those games, and his senior year he only played in 10 games. I think Penix could eclipse 18 wins by the end of his 3rd season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
milehiiu Posted August 29, 2019 Report Share Posted August 29, 2019 I don't know about career wins for IU QB's. But I do know about one IU triple threat QB from Gary, who led our Hoosiers to our only undefeated season. George Taliaferro played quarterback and a whole lot more Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
