Love that timeout call.  A chance to work on the 2-minute offense.

Or not.  Ramsey is in.  Ok then.

[Naturalhoosier 15,408]

Wow.  lol  Walker is FAST!

We were getting like 5-7 yards rushing every play on that last drive minus one play? I thought they looked great running on that drive including Scott.

Scott was breaking out for multiple huge plays almost every game last year. It’s like he’s struggling to get those 5-7 yards now.

Is Westbrook playing today?

Yep he was out there on that last TD. 35-0.

I guess that didn't end up being much of a 2 minute drill but Ramsey shouldn't have come in quite yet. Gotta get Penix live minutes there that would've only been his 2nd 2 minute drill I think

yeah, agreed.  I didn't expect Ramsey out there.  Would love to see some 2-minute drill practice there.

Ah gotcha. I think teams are stuffing the box more trying to make Penix beat them since he is young. But I think we are definitely doing a better job today mixing in the play action and shorter routes to get the defense to get into more nickel packages. Love the playcalling today.

I can get with that. It’s just kind of weird to watch because he was so dominant last year. 

[Walking Boot of Doom 18,170]

Man this EIU team is BAD.

But damn Penix makes this offense so much more potent. I love it.

Hey, Ramsey threw the ball for over 30 yards. F*** you, DeBord

[Walking Boot of Doom 18,170]

Good seeing Ramsey move the ball! Once again, this EIU team is helpless, but still.

It should be clear to everyone by now that DeBord was the big problem last year. Ramsey's arm isn't as strong as Penix's, but he's not the noodle arm DeBord made him out to be, either.

I mean, not going to call it completely DeBord based on 5 minutes against EIU, but I also never fully believed it was just DeBord or just Ramsey. I still think Penix is far and away the better option.

We played bad teams last year and Ramsey didn't look like this against them. Penix might be the better option, but the bigger change is the OC. We finally have someone who knows what he's doing.

[mdn82 25,510]

49-0. Not really much more that needs to be said.

Biggest victory margin in IU history regardless of shutout. Really proud of how they came to play this week.

I was one pointing at DeBord last year, but I never wanted it to seem I was strictly blaming him.  As a passer Ramsey is limited, but he's not 5 yards within the LOS limited; he's wasn't going to/won't bomb it 50 yards to take the top off, but he could/can hit the mid range enough to not limit the offense as much as it was last season.

Frankly, I wanted to see what Tuttle could do.  I'm just not a fan of so called 'dual threat' QBs, I've seen far too many that look to run first and can't pass a lick.

[Napleshoosier 10,202]

Wow!

Not a fan of dual threat quarterbacks...

Well what if you have one that can “pass a lick” ...? Wouldn’t he be better than someone who can’t run a lick?

Doesn't bother me at all if a QB can't run, truth be told I'd prefer that over one who looks to run first.  Passing is a necessity for QBs, running isn't.
