They need a lot of guys on defense to come back. I think there’s as many as 8-9 starters and a couple backups who would normally be out of eligibility. If they don’t have seniors come back my guess is it will be a bit of a rebuild year.

I’d love to see him take over for Jones at the Tackle spot if Crider comes back. I have a feeling Powell will beat out Nworah and this is the most logical spot. Jones is great in short down situations but against high level pass rushers he’s an absolute liability. Carpenter is a very athletic guy with more than enough size to play in the tackle spot opposite of Bedford

Completely agree. I thought Ball was the most frustrating player on the defense two seasons ago. I hoped it was due in part to trying to cover for lacking teammates but I think you hit the nail on the head in your assessment of “lack of discipline, trying to make the big play”. That position requires a ton of football IQ. I’d like to see Ball used in obvious passing downs to cover TE’s and free up Cam Jones to apply pressure. If Ball puts in work in the film room he can provide a ton of situational talent and depth. He doesn’t need to be an every down player to make a significant impact

So far those were the most obvious to me. Especially Kham Taylor who transferred here and didn’t see the field and M. Ball who isn’t much of a pro prospect at this point, thus has a lot to prove...but how much does he see the field with a RS Senior in Fitz? Guys I don’t think will come back are Fryfogle, Whop and J. Johnson. The guys I really hope come back are Crider, Powell, Swann and Whitehead. Nworah isn’t pro talent so if he’s smart he also comes back and gets a free masters degree but my hope is he gets passed on the depth chart regardless.

And our coaching staff are full of morons for not utilizing the running game the entire last drive. Your QB has a separated shoulder and you take the ball out of Stevie’s hands?

Mike Hart should have gotten the OC role and Sheridan cemented that fact.

Sheridan was an absolute joke all day, don’t know why I thought he finally learned his lesson. Took the ball out of Stevie’s hands and played to their strengths. Unforgivable but Wommack and the D share the blame. IU football IU footballed today and it’s an absolute embarrassment to the program.

Just give the damn ball to Stevie

Or CTA threatened to fire him on the spot if he didn’t get Stevie more touches. Either way, this is the way we should have played the first half

Mental Midgets, man...can’t have it

They spent the last month feelin themselves and collecting individual accolades, not getting ready for this game is what’s wrong with them

Utterly shocked we didn’t fair catch that. Maybe now we can run the damn ball???

Why can’t we tackle? Why?

We just need to run the damn ball. He has enough arm left (or so it seems) to make occasional plays but we’re out there calling pass plays 4 out of 5 calls like he’s having the game of his career. How did we not make this adjustment at halftime?

Is Stevie hurt? Sick? What the hell? In other news, hell of a kick by Campbell. Defense needs to step up in a HUGE way on this drive and get a 3 and out or takeaway

...and he takes a knee. What the hell. Just what the hell...

Hand the god damn ball off to Scott. What the hell is Sheridan doing

He’s done this no less than 5 times this season. This is embarrassing

Stevie Scott has 3 f’ing carries for the entire half. I don’t know what the hell this coaching staff is doing but this is not the football that got us here. We had a month to prepare and get healthy and no one showed up to play

Tackling an issue...again. This is NOT the start I expected from a spurned team with a chip on its shoulder. This is embarrassing

Whop needs to find a seat. He’s killing the offense.

If we can’t cover their WR3, 4 & 5 and TE2 this is not going to be a good day

Is it just me or is the main sideline camera in standard definition where the other cameras are in HD?

Shaun Wade for OSU is a fraud. Couldn’t believe he got all B1G 1st team after what Fryfogle did to him. Now he’s single handedly keeping Clemson in this game
