If #35 wraps up they are stopped dead. Kids today don’t know how to form tackle

Maybe we try mixing it up a bit on first down

It’s not always what you do but how you do it. He definitely sold it as an accident

Power move by the D linemen who “accidentally” kicked the ball as the ref was trying to set it. That’s using your noggin

That was the best open field tackle I’ve seen by our defense in a very long time

These short kicks are killing us. Why do we want to give it to them at the 40 with 1:32 left in the half???

Green seems to be pressing. You can tell he knows he lost his job. We need him to progress throughout the season so hopefully he gets it together and let’s the game come to him

I have a hard time seeing a 4 freshmen starting team who only plays 8 guys going an entire season with no losses. They’ll have bad shooting nights, injuries, etc. Kentucky just isn’t as good as people thought they would be. This is what happens when Cal doesn’t get the top 3 guys in every class and has to fish from the bottom half of the 5 star pool. No one on their team is a first round draft pick and none have any experience.

The keys to beating this Duke team start with solid, active team defense. Moving the ball and making them work hard on theier end and getting their guys in foul trouble. It’s going to take the best game we can muster, especially on the road.

Just because it’s done, doesn’t make it a good idea. My point is, there’s a better way to do this if you can get the right teams on the schedule. Focus on 150-199 and avoid teams with a higher RPI/BPI and we still win the games, our SOS improves drastically and thus it pays dividends in March. As the selection committee evolves in their selection criteria programs like IU should adjust accordingly to get an edge on its competition

Completely agree. I don’t know if it’s difficult to schedule only teams in the top 175 RPI or so but a 15-25 point win over the 164th team in the RPI pays so much more dividends in March than a 40 point win against a Chicago St.
