[biteoftheapple]

I understand where you guys stand. But for me, there is mors satisfactiln in a grind it out win, than a 35 point blowout. The bench gets experience this way.

Stevie Scott is a stud

That's more like it!

WTG Hoosiers! 3-0!

[Brass Cannon]

Not trying to get ahead of myself but could it be that we will have a good(postseason worthy) Baseball, Basketball, Soccer and Football team all in the same year. 

[Hoosier Guy]

There’s a good chance IU could be 5-0 heading into the Ohio State game. They have Michigan State and Rutgers the next two weeks

Solid win with a lot of younger players get some time. Special teams had a much better outing and the offense looked better. Defense gave up their one score a half again but settled down after.

Hopefully we compete and beat MSU. 4-0 would be huge!

Agreed. And we follow that up with 5-0 then this program will really start generating some buzz on campus.

Stevie Scott is a battering ram. I think we have a good one.

RIP to #29 on Ball St

We were REALLY good today

Last week: Notre Dame 24, Ball State 16 
This week: IU 38, Ball State 10 (shoulda been 41-10 or 45-10)

BRING ON THE IRISH!!!

It was another big game for running back Stevie Scott. After another big return from J-Shun Harris put IU at the Cardinal 38, Scott had all the yards of the touchdown drive including a nine-yard scoring run. For the game he finished with 114 yards, becoming the fourth true freshman at Indiana to go for back-to-back 100 yard plus rushing games. Scott accomplished the feat earlier than any other true frosh has at Indiana.

Ramsey had a huge first half, accounted for 216 of Indiana’s 287 yards. He connected on 20 of his first 25 passes and good reads on offense were a big reason for his 43 yards rushing in the first half.  For the game Ramsey was 20-for-27 for 173 yards.

Yet some people won’t give Ransey any credit?

Ramsey is a fine game manager.   He does well with short, low risk throws and isn't prone to big mistakes.   He is limited though; and when teams take away his ability to run, as we saw a year ago, Indiana really struggles.   He does not do well throwing the ball down the field.  (even when he had completions down the field last week, he under threw receivers who had to make plays to complete throws)   For his career, he averages between 5.7 and 6.0 yards per attempt, pretty consistently.   That is a low number.    A very conservative number.  He's doing just fine from a game management standpoint, however I think it's pretty obvious he has a ceiling; and rather than heap praise on one guy who's kinda vanilla; I'd rather heap praise on the entire team -players and coaches - who are ALL doing a hell of a job; Ramsey among them.

He only under threw them because of the weather. I was there. It was incredible he threw it as well as he did.

I would agree. We have to be able to get some more pressure on the QB, I've loved how we have looked though. Genius to not use Walker until today. He looked solid.

Clearly Ramsey is just going to be a polarizing individual here. However, I don't really recall people being that down on him. Suggesting someone has limitations is not getting down on a guy it's just stating an observation. He did well again today but I still am on the side of him being a game manager rather than game changer. That's just fine with me and it may be exactly what this team needs especially if the running game can continue to thrive.

Apologies if I missed it, but did we have any football visitors confirmed on campus for the game?
