btownqb Posted October 3, 2021 Report Share Posted October 3, 2021 (edited) Great time for a bye week... with essentially a must win in front of ya. What a great opportunity. MSU on the road this week @RU after Rutgers took it on the chin yesterday. Edited October 3, 2021 by btownqb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hoopsta007 Posted October 3, 2021 Report Share Posted October 3, 2021 It will be good to see how we stack up against a good but not great team. This will be a good litmus test for our program 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FWIUFan Posted October 3, 2021 Report Share Posted October 3, 2021 Mostly lurk during FB season simply because we have never been any good. However. after last years performance, I drank the Koolaid and had what now appears t be inflated expectations for IUFB. I' m still completely on the CTA train but this years performance is very disappointing thus far. Unfortunately, I don't see any fix in the near future. 1. Penix has exceptional physical ability but I'm concerned his injuries have stunted his development and he is not mentally the best QB for IU right now. 2. Tuttle may be the better QB but he alone is not the solution. 3. I lay this years poor play at the feet of the O Line. They simply are underperforming. Whether due to lack of coaching or ability doesn't matter. They are poor as a group and I see no near term solution. My opinion is they simply aren't BIG level players even though they did better last year under different OC--the competition was not at the level they've had to face this year and thus they've been exposed. 4. No complaints about D 5. ST have also been subpar this year even with the emphasis CTA has placed not them. I remain hopeful for a bowl bid but right now I'm not optimistic 😞 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OLDIUFAN Posted October 4, 2021 Report Share Posted October 4, 2021 I agree this OLine has been very disappointing, Penix hasn’t been himself all year, an now I assume is out for the season again. So time for Tuttle to step up an take over. Also time for Ty Fryfogle to come to the game! He has really been off this year also. I feel he isn’t putting in the same effort as last year!

IU878176 Posted October 4, 2021 Report Share Posted October 4, 2021 Just looked at the AP poll after yesterday’s games. MSU is up to 11th in the nation. Based on today’s AP rankings IU is playing 6 of the top 11 teams in the country!! 6 of the top 11! I wonder how often that has happened. Just crazy. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoosierfan1901 Posted October 4, 2021 Report Share Posted October 4, 2021 With confirmation that Penix’s AC was separated. I believe Tuttle will be the Starter next week, since Penix could have surgery Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That plays a factor for sure but also Penix inability to move outside the pocket and extend plays with his legs or run some is a killer. He is a sitting duck back there. If your O line isn’t good you at least want someone back there that is mobile. How many times did Clifford hurt us with his legs running/extending plays. You have to be able to do that in college football! The days of solely being a pocket passer are pretty well gone if you want to win at a high level unless your Alabama and you have the line full of 5 stars to protect the QB Edited October 4, 2021 by 5 championships Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
5 championships Posted October 4, 2021 Report Share Posted October 4, 2021 I loved how Tuttle ran some when he was in against Penn State. That really helped the offense a ton 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OLDIUFAN Posted October 7, 2021 Report Share Posted October 7, 2021 Was read an article the said Tom Allen wanted a report an analysis from each asst coach trying to figure out how to make the team better. He was really wanting to hear from the offense. Here my take, first I think Tuttle is going to help right away. 2. Look at the offensive line. We have got to get some push an open up some holes. Then look at our OC ask him what has he been doing. What are we doing when we get in the red zone! I hope they find something! That can be fixed now! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like the idea of having the coordinators self examine their coaching over the bye week. I have no doubt Allen will be critical of their evaluations, and expects them to analyze themselves well.

What changes would you like to see from the offense. I would start Tuttle the test of the year even if Penix comes back healthy. Also I would like to see so.e of the you g WR's get some game action. There had to be some younger OL that should get a look. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can't say.. play this guy automatically or whatever if there isn't a close to better option than what we've been going with. Losing Mathews hurt. We might need a 6-7 play wildcat formation.. maybe McCulley QBs that. Really dk.. but there's gotta be wholesale changes. Everything. We're awful offensively right now. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
