Time for Offense to step up.

Defense playing well against the run, but man that pass defense has not been good.  

So much for this great offensive line.  

Stupid mistakes on top of being an average team don't win games. :(

I'm kind of hoping for rain in B-ton tomorrow.  It will make the crowd smaller, but I also think it will force WKU to rely more on the running game.  If we can keep them on the ground; we win easily.  If the QB is able to throw, it will be a squeaker, but I still think we win.

I think what surprised us the most with the SIU game, was that we believed our second string should be stronger than SIU.  Nothing to back up that belief, other than the fact that our Coaching staff keeps saying this is the deepest team we have had.  If that is our depth, we are in big trouble if our first string goes down. 

You ask this question on a fan board?  :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: We gripe about the highs and lows of every play.  One play we are world champions, the next, we will lose every game by 40 points.  It doesn't matter what sport.  That is why we all follow IU, so we can blame our high blood pressure, on something else besides being over weight, and not exercising.

I don't think we are giving the defense to much credit.  The defense gave us everything we asked of them. Were they perfect.  Heck no, but all we have asked of the defense is to not be awful.  Most of us think that our offense is good enough to win most games, as long as the defense shows up.  That is exactly what happened last Saturday. They were far from awful this past weekend.  You talk about the one the QB threw into our lap.  Why did that happen?  Because the defense was in his face, and forced him to do something bad.  That was caused by the defense, not just a bad play by their QB.

I am seeing the same general concern as in the past.  Offense really good...  Defense Lacking...  The defense is still going to be our weakness this year.  The question will be; can the defense get a couple more stops per game? I am still going to stick with 6-6, so we go to a minor bowl.

I thought it was a really good game. Defense has to figure out how to prevent the big plays. One maybe two per game. Not 5 or 6. There was no excuse for that 2nd touchdown. Just a simple failure of wrapping up the receiver. I was also glad to see the coach going for the points with the FG in the first half as the offense struggled a little. The guys at hunting camp were really laughing at me when i stood up and started hollering during the pick 6 to seal the game.

There is one difference though.  For other teams it is a once in a blue moon occurrence.   For IU, it happens every Saturday.

Hey, we won! :)  Not trying to make it something it was not.  Defensively we were lousy; no doubt about it.  

Would love to see a breakdown of the stats by 1/2.  I felt the defense played much better the 2nd half, but got complacent again in the 4th.

The Defense played well for one quarter.  That has to get better.    Glad we got a win, but it was ugly.

WOW, there is a God.

Well thats the ball game.

Play Defense for two more plays!   and we didn't do it

That PI call was BS

We have left them 50 some seconds.  That is probably 10 to many.  :(

I was just saying the same thing.

It sucked.  It made the site look like a bunch of crybabies.   There was valid reason for disgust the first half.  Not so much the 2nd,

Well Crap it is.   Someone needs to think about how they tweet.  That makes us look bad.
