Well, you are not wrong on that. The one PI called on Fant, I'll take every day of the week, 15 yards was better than what FIU would have gained. Until they make that a spot foul in college football, its a tool you use. The other PI IIRC was pretty nickel and dime. The personal fouls are the ones that really hurt as there is no advantage attached to them, and they are too often after the play anyway. That's guys just needing to keep their emotions in check a little more.    I actually think their may have been more than 4 offsides. A couple were by Latham, I think, trying to get that jump. Several offsides were just players lined up in the neutral zone, and I think that could have got called a couple of other times. Yes, they need to clean it up. I'm betting the coaching staff is right on top of that.

Those are two guys I can't wait to see back. They have the instincts and football IQ that just gets them to the right place at the right time, especially Dutra.

 

:popcorn:

That second quote is hard to read. Particularly, since Jordan Howard ran right through them for the last two years at UAB and he had a top tier O-line to do it behind this year. I'd also disagree with the quality of their D, they were a pretty damn good D.

Yep, but if we want to compete in the B1G and go to bowls, we had better get used to having good things to say about our D!

2-0 Baby!   Just a few points on this.   1. This was a defensive win. Two fumble recoveries set up TDs and a pick 6 finished it off. You can focus on the yardage allowed if you want, but the D won the game.    2. Running game  still looked good. O line was very good tonight.   3. D got called on a number of offsides calls. Several were simply lining up in the neutral zone, but some were just a matter of a aggressive D. Clean it up a bit and I'll live with a bit over aggressive D.   4. I think IU beat a team that's got a pretty good chance too go bowling. They were better than I expected and I suspect that by the end of the season this is going to look like a pretty good win. Not as easy of a win as I expected, and that makes it all the better.   5. D still has a ways to go, but bring that game every week and keep improving and its going to be a interesting season. Crawford and Cook are great additions to this team. Can't wait to have Scales and Dutra back.   6. 2-0 Baby!

Woohoo!

19-14 IU

Missed the PAT

Sudfeld runs it in. TD IU!

Reverse to Jones! First and Goal IU.

Fumble. IU Ball!

Well, I think that FIU D that the announcers have talked about is actually for real.

Will do. Believe it or not, its a defensive game tonight.

Here.

14-13 FIU

D only gave up 165 yards this half. Two big plays got past them makes the difference.

Crowd looks better than I expected.

Let's kick the ball off and start kicking ass!

Seems like I read that next week might be out of the question too.

That's some great news!

Geared up. Just waiting. 45 minutes to go.

Should be on a BTN alternate channel. 610-1 here (DirecTv).
