I was a bit surprised when I saw his 2 year Duke stats but hoped it was because he was buried behind really good players. Once their conference games started, last year, he was 15-50 from the field in their last 24 games with 4 of the buckets being in a 100-56 blowout of ND. Who knows. Lots of kids improve between sophomore and junior seasons. Hope he is one of them.

I have read three “projected AP top 25” articles. All three mention IU’s poor resume with the best wins being Northwestern and Nebraska. All three have Notre Dame ranked above us and NONE of them mention that ND has beaten NO ONE. Never stops being irritating.

1) I really, really, really hated hearing the booing clearly come through on tv. We are building a brand that was previously unfathomable for IU football so it was a bummer for football fans (and future recruits) across the country to hear that. 2) Lots of Hoover talk but also… how about that special team squad? No return threat. 2 shanked punts clanked a gimmie field goal had a field goal blocked poor snap/mis-handled failed fg attempt As bad as our passing game was, for most of the contest, special teams alone almost led to a L.

I really want us to pull this out but if we lose……it certainly won’t be a “we deserved to win” loss. Just pathetic offense and special teams.

I would really trash the BT if I was a SEC fan watching this game. UGLY!!

It was the first ball that hit him in the numbers.

I have barely been drinking but think I saw Becker return a punt. Must be seeing things. I’m putting the bottle down.

Because Cig has virtually zero confidence in the offense yet has total confidence in the defense.

We get the ball to start the half. Is that good or bad??

I agree. It might have looked like Hoover threw it behind Marsh but Marsh was being tightly covered at the edge of the end zone and should have cut left to make himself available.

Hoover getting flattened at the end of the half makes it even easier for Cig to make a move. IF that happens…will Wilson play better than Hoover? Who knows?

I am not a gambler but man I almost bet against IU covering today. We just don’t have the offense to win by 3+ TD’s, unless it’s Howard,Rutgers etc.

Was Tom Allen our guest coach for “Game Day” ??

Special teams. Blocked field goal Missed chip shot 2 shanked punts No returns. In ONE half !!!!!!!!

That would have been a long completion with Marsh. Sail after sail. Hoover is either injured or is like an infielder with the yips. Or both.

I wouldn’t bet on that as I don’t see Cig starting a new QB vs USC. I will change my mind if a different QB starts the 2nd half of this game but, if not, it will be Hoover next game.

“large part” is an understatement. I’d say we are 4th ONLY because of the defense (and our brand name #newworld).

Good catch of a wide open….wait for it…but very high pass but then a penalty. Not a well oiled machine but still 4th in the country. Kind of crazy.

EDIT “watches the ball fly through the air and then watches it bounce around BUT….ONLY CATCHES THE BALL IF IT IS A BAD DECISION TO CATCH IT”

The baffling thing is that last year Mendoza had the highest percentage of RPO snaps in the entire nation. The QB last season with the second highest percentage? Josh Hoover. I thought he would fit our offense like a glove.

I forget. What do they call the position of the player that stands 40 yards behind the line of the scrimmage, watches the ball fly through the air and then watches it bounce around?

I used to say hump a whole lot but I was a lot younger then.

I was guessing Isiah or Cuban but the more I thought about it I thought IU might not want Cuban on as it would increase the narrative that he is giving IU football a trillion dollars a year. Cody might have done a good job.
