Yea, if you just look at the stat line on paper and ignore net results. One of his 50 yarders ended up in the back of the endzone, netting 35 yards I believe…the other he quickly bombed it, out kicking his coverage, which should never happen with an Aussie style kicker…the whole point of that method is to hold onto to the ball while surveying the field, allowing your coverage to get down field then bomb it (or if the defense turns and runs, take it and run for the first down). The end result was Iowa running it back 40 yards. If your head coach calls you out in a post game interview, you had a very bad game.

No clue if Sampson was cleared to play but if he was, he’s clearly RB4 at Purdue. Meanwhile we’re playing walk ons in key situations

For next week, Caleb Jones needs to drop on the depth chart and we need to have open try outs for punter. This Aussie kid isn’t getting it done.

What a disaster in every freakin aspect. Embarrassing

BS call but it would have been unnecessary roughness anyway

Gotta drive ball carriers back not drag them forward. What is this?

Who the hell is Childers?

O Line is such trash

Where is Carpenter? I wasn’t expecting Powell to start at center

UNC preseason ranked #10 after finishing 8-4 last season is so absured…and it’s showing thus far against VT

It was only a matter of time. For some reason the rating sites don’t default to 5 star inside the top 25 but they always end up there…sometimes all the way up to the top 30

I remember when Feeney and another guy (can’t remember the name) had to sit for weeks due to concussions. Glad to see stuff like you mentioned cuts down on them significantly. I always felt like practice was were concussion issues were born due to repetition and the game incidents were more than likely a parlay to something that was already an issue.

I’m all for anything that keeps these guys 100% coming into the season

Hey Chris, was curious on your thoughts on these helmet pads the guys are all wearing in practice. I don’t remember these in past years. Do you know if they’ve cut down on preseason concussions?

I was told he transferred too late to qualify for instant eligibility so he needs an NCAA waiver, and the only way to get it is with IU’s sign off. I don’t have a way to confirm that though

Sampson needs IU to sign off or he has to sit this year….if this is true, he better be sitting

Same with what Chris said…he didn’t not try in practice from what I heard but also didn’t go the extra mile which is absolutely required of any kid who wants to start for a team as good IU as an underclassmen. My comment was more centered around the fact that he hasn’t paid his dues yet to have this kind of mindset. Some 5 star kids have to wait 3-4 years to play at major programs.

I guess Ball St didnt want him….in all seriousness, if a kid expects to start as a freshman/sophomore after putting in zero work and showing mediocre ability, Purdue is a perfect fit for you

…cool

ND crapping the bed again this year coupled with IU winning 8-9+ games would have a massive impact. This may go down as the most important season for IU history ever.

That really doesn’t tell us anything. If charges come down he’ll quickly be off the team. Pretty crazy that charges haven’t been brought against someone at this point. If it wasn’t Jaylin, he obviously knows who was driving his car

I was. I’ve heard we were done and I’ve heard that we’re still pursuing him. Ramsey is a Tackle so the Moore commitment shouldn’t impact that

Patient on this…there’s a lot of big time programs that have yet to add major pieces to their class. That said, if we really can add Ramsey and Curry plus 3-4 more guys we should end up top 15 for sure

Agreed, I just saw a longer YouTube video that wasn’t just his highlighs. He can handle the ball well, and seems to dish effectively However, from what I watched he’s pretty weak on the defensive end and a very low motor…he’s gonna need to change that and as you pointed out, work on strength and explosiveness. Smaller guards were scoring over and around him in the paint with little to no resistance…that said, this is based on an incredibly small sample size. .

This kid seems wildly underrated…6’8, athletic, and can shoot the lights out. Haven’t seen enough tape to assess ball handling and passing but what am I missing?
