I missed the game but got the score alert. Stevie Scott had 204 yards rushing??? Was that a typo?

Its correct. He was the offense.

They kept feeding him and he kept producing. Interesting that he's the only running back to get any carries tonight. Shows the trust the coaching staff has in the true freshman.

Well, those are games we normally lose. We are 2-0. Not often I can say that.

also... This is a unique game to breakdown... the entire game was played in a monsoon.....

 

I think in different weather conditions we kick some of those FG's rather than panting

Not so sure about that after having two kicks blocked.,

For all of those people who have said there is no reason Indiana can't consistently play with the big boys on the football field, I offer you....that.  Everything from clock management to penalties to a QB who simply cannot throw the ball down the field with consistency to unlucky injuries season after season...    Indiana will always be able to play in the middle.    This is who we are.   A really good win.  A necessary win.  But it showed our ceiling.

Wow the Illinois broadcast got Chris Denari and we got stuck with some lady who couldn't pronounce TD Roof's first name correctly

She's bad.  She's been bad.  I didn't care for the whole broadcast teem, but she was bad.

Game Summary:

 When you’re Indiana University football, any win is a very good win.

That’s it. 

[Red1]

Special teams are terrible. Offensive line may have some promise. Ramsey holds the ball way too long. DBs need to get ALOT better. Scott is gonna be a bad man. Good win despite all that and the weather. They are still way too sloppy as a whole.

[Stuhoo]

 Stevie Scott runs all whole lot like Jordan Howard. 

 From what I saw tonight, maybe even a touch faster and just as good. 

[Crimson and Cream]

How do you think Virginia fans must feel after their offense teasing them last week and then unable to do much at all this week?

Can definitely get on board with that comparison

I would’ve liked to have seen Penix some tonight. He showed to be a more accurate passer last week

Eh....this is a game we normally lose. Too many times has a team beat us on the last drive because we left too much time on the clock. Hard to read this team right now given we opened on the road and played in a monsoon tonight. We need to consistently play better D, which Allen has improved upon since his arrival. We're recruiting better as well. 

Do I think we're anywhere near becoming a B-level program ala West Virginia or Missouri? No. But I do think the pieces are falling into place for this program to become more like Minnesota or Iowa on their "off years" in that we should be able to pull off a quality upset in most seasons, expect 8 wins a season, and pull in top 40 recruiting classes every few years. We're definitely not doormats anymore.

I don't think that Debord is going to be the OC beyond a few more seasons, but he's not a terrible pick right now as Allen settles into building the program's identity.

Ok I didn’t see the game but why the hate for Ramsey. Completed 16 of 22 for like 9 yards per catch. Hardly terrible judging from the conditions.

Was thinking the same thing.

Not really hate since I like Ramsey but he under-threw several passes where the receiver bailed him out and floated a few out patterns. All things considered, my opinion is Penix makes the offense better and has better skills.

I liked what I saw tonight, but I'm going to need a little bigger sample to make that claim.

Ramsey can throw downfield just fine. They were playing in a monsoon tonight and he still completed 73% of his passes.

I didn't think his overall performance was bad, but he made a terrible throw early in the second half that got picked off and actually made me say "Dammit, Lagow" because of how similar it was to Lagow's many boneheaded throws.
