IU, Oregon State, St. Louis Cards. At least Oregon State went to a bowl game at least and kicked the crap out of Florida, so I guess I got that going for me,lol.

Well he was especially when he was playing the 4 spot.

After being there I don’t know who looked more lost at time JG or Kopp after a switch!

absolutely over the JG experiment. Don’t care if he plays another game. Also tired of TJD getting beat on defense and him just going for the block! Every time he does it it left a NW player open to receive a pass for a wide open shot or get the rebound. Absolutely tired of the lazy passes, tired of half hearted effort from upperclassman. The only 2 that showed up with energy were JHS and Gunn, still took awhile for others to join in. Also, I don’t know if you could see it on tv, but we were getting r@ped under the basket in the first half with not one d@mn whistle. Second half I ran out of fingers and had to start counting on my toes for the amount of NW travels. Why can we not get a home whistle against anyone? Does the B1G not want us back in the top of the conference? only the second loss I have ever been to and it sucks more in person cause know I’m stuck in the parking lot venting on a chat board!

He is currently on the floor during warmups

On the way

Not being negative against the new additions, being negative against the staff. Like I said these 4 could end up being great players, but I am overly disappointed that the focus seems to be on positional players and not what this team really needs. We have to find an O-line that will allow the QB more than a millisecond to either get rid of the ball or escape the pocket. this years team allowed 39 sacks for a loss of 305 yards. Averaged 3.4 yards per carry! Just for comparison, Oregon State, where potential transfer QB Nolan played, allowed 14 sacks for a loss of 103 yards and averaged 4.9 yards per carry this year, 14 sacks for a loss of 114 yards and 5.3 yards per carry the year before. Our numbers for ‘21, 29 sacks for 169 yds and 3.2 yds per carry. Oregon States record the last 2 years 10-3 and 7-6. Ours 4-8 and 2-10.

Was being a little sarcastic with my post but thanks for the analysis. Always great to hear what you have to say.

I guess it really shouldn’t shock me all that much but the social media/media reactions to the new editions has blown me away. It’s almost beyond being gullible. Seriously, yes the additions could prove to be nice but how has there been not any attention given to our biggest priority (not qb). I’ve seen Allen digging in his bag of tricks, IU football is back, No need to apologize for getting off….we welcome you back on the #IUFB train. Christ will this fan base ever learn and stop falling for the hype!

wait so Pitt and Clemson are tied for first in the ACC?

Gilmore from Wisky looks like Brad Davison with his hair dyed darker! Are we sure that’s not Davison in disguise?

So would this be considered as bad as a loss as ours in Iowa? Wisky getting thumped by a team the was in complete disarray just a few days ago!

You could say similar with a little stronger arm and faster on his feet. Overall their stats were similar. There are a few good videos of Nolan on the ESPN app.

Was hoping to see some OL transfers before positional players. The staff has to realize how bad they have been protecting the QB like what seems forever! By the excellent memory on the OS thing, lol.

You found me, lol. Yes I’m an alum had to find a school for an ag degree as far away from PU as possible.

No he’s not. OS is my alma mater so I try to keep track of both sports. Just saying that he posted those numbers with a half way decent OL. No knock against him just a knock against our OL.

508

Don’t think this is going to turn next season around! Before injury this season he threw 7 TDs and 9 Ints with 939 yds. Last season he was 19/10 for 2,677 yds. He has 508 career rushing yards. And this was behind a fairly decent OL.

I’ll try too.

Did see this posted in the thread, but this doesn’t look too good for the Illini!

Its not just me describing the situation. MR will improve, he is a freshman, the talent is there. JG is a junior, he simply cannot make the mistakes that he was making last night as an upperclassman. I am not a doom and gloom person on the season yet, but there were multiple times JG should have been yanked last night. When he was finally pulled and Kopp shifted to the 4, things started improving (ever so slightly). Honestly, the biggest void last night was the loss of Race last night, as hard as I have been on him for a while, he was a huge part of our early game success last night.

There was no need to critic MRs play as he didn't play much and it was obvious why. The only player that looked more lost than JG. Not to mention MR is a freshman and JG is a junior.

I don't neccesarily think that Race was holding him in check more than just making things tougher for Murray. Murray was still going to get his regardless of who was guarding him. However, what we really lost was the effort that Race brought in those few mins in the first. He was grabbing boards, moving without the ball, setting good screens, mostly just being in the right place at the right time. After the diving tackle on his knees, we were lost.

JG was lost on most possessions last night. 1 good play, 3 bad. Out of position on defense, sporadic, erratic at times. Just a terrible game for him despite the box score.

Not really anyone consistently outside of TB. There are flashes from different players but none of the have moved up out of the role player status. There is something up with JG, he is lost again, Trey has spurts, even Kopp, but there needs to be consistency. bright note: I thought JHS showed something tonight that he was definitely not praised for out of high school and that was his 3s tonight. bad note: the most aggravating thing for me tonight was that LONG stretch after Race went down with JG logging so many minutes while being completely lost on both sides of the floor! I get MR was trash tonight but hell we still had the lead throw LD in there.
