Seeking6 Posted September 18, 2021 Report Share Posted September 18, 2021 Maybe it's just me. This one is easy to get over. 4 turnovers. 3 trips inside 15 with zero points. Special teams mistakes. Can't do that vs a top 10 team....we had this one and that film room tomorrow is going to be angry. McFadden crap and Anderson injury didn't help. We have a good team and still tons of play in front of us. Everything that contributed to this loss was self inflicted....not a better team winning. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
btownqb Posted September 18, 2021 Report Share Posted September 18, 2021 If you have 4 TOs and give up a KOR... you will lose. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leathernecks Posted September 18, 2021 Author Report Share Posted September 18, 2021 We definitely did a lot of good things today. Unfortunately we just shot ourselves in the foot at all the wrong times. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IU Scott Posted September 18, 2021 Report Share Posted September 18, 2021 Have to win at WKU to get to 2-2 but the next few games will show how this season is going to play out. If we lose all 3 to PSU, MSU and OSU it will make for a long season. Maybe I am frustrated sports fan because it seems like all of my teams have struggled for years or not lived up to expectations. IU basketball and football hasn't been horrible all of those years but a lot of inconsistent play. The Colts, Pacers and the Reds have been the picture of mediocrity for the last few years Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
btownqb Posted September 18, 2021 Report Share Posted September 18, 2021 We have all the momentum in the world... give up KOR and Baldwin fumbles. Those 2 plays plus the lining up wrong on a FG, and Penix first two picks.. 5 plays cost us that game. Truthfully the last pick doesn't bother me. He isn't going to do that other than the situation we were in to end the game. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrflynn03 Posted September 18, 2021 Report Share Posted September 18, 2021 Doesn't McFadden have to sit the first half next week? Ejection and half game suspension is way to much for what should have been a no call. Geez. I still expect to make a bowl game this season which is where IU's baseline expectation should be right now. Still disappointed though. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheWatShot Posted September 18, 2021 Report Share Posted September 18, 2021 Won't be a popular opinion, but I think this is a regression year and we would do well to finish 6-6. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No. Only if it occurs in the 2nd half. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he was ejected in the first half he won't have to sit out a half 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IU Scott Posted September 18, 2021 Report Share Posted September 18, 2021 For me losing a game like today's is worse than the Iowa game. There we just got our butt kicked but we lost today because we shot ourselves in the foot. You can't turn the ball over in the red zone that many times. You can't give up a return touchdown after taking the lead. Can't have a key player get kicked out for targeting. I didn't see the first half to know whether that was a good call or not. You just can't keep putting Penix out there just because he is the starter. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoosier51 Posted September 18, 2021 Report Share Posted September 18, 2021 That was a very disapointing loss. The Hoosiers self inflicted wounds killed them this game. The NCAA really needs to do something on the targeting rule, there is no way McFadden should have been ejected for that, especially since the Bearcats player was pushing him into the QB. Also just shaking my head at the roughing call on Allen. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can’t keep sticking with Penix IMO, 17-40 with three INT and after his play at Iowa I am not sure why they would stay with Penix. He has to be on a short leash for next weekend.

Kind of silly to believe this program loses any momentum from 6-6. Like we aren't overly talented and our "weaker" starters are NOT where they need to be. Talent infusion. And it's coming. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do wonder how long they stick with Penix if he can't shake the rust. I expected him to have some rust, but I didn't think he'd look like a Ford Pinto that has been sitting vacant in the backwoods of Kentucky for the last 40 years.

I hope your right on the young talent and hope we have some young OL. Our OL is not very good right now and hope for some young guys to step up.
