Again, don’t know what connections this guy has but this and the fact he still has been doing interviews could be enough to hold out hope but Chris didn’t sound too optimistic so I won’t hold my breath.

Cough cough i am Logan. Lol. That’s my Twitter. I saw on snap he was warming up....that’s all I was going off of....to me it’s just weird that he’s in full pads trotting around practice. 

I know you know this since we've spoken but yes he has been in full pads at practice. But he has not touched a football since he left the game on Saturday. Now he looks fine when he is signaling in plays from the sideline. Best case is no practice and plays this week but I really don't think he will.

You have been trustworthy and I completely believe you but this shows we have some pretty lackadaisical media. If he left game early and is now not practicing at least ask Tom Allen if he is injured? He may decline to say anything or fudge and say he is OK but at least hold the coaches feet to the fire and ask about this. Thats a pretty big deal if your starting QB is not practicing and the fact that no one is reporting it or breached the topic speaks pretty poorly on the IU media.

When will the football gods decide enough is enough and give Indiana a break?

Well you have to remember that Penix last throw was a 8 yard TD pass then he came out.

Coaches only speak to media on Monday before practice and media only get to watch warmups of practice if anything at all.

[Miller'sTheMan 1,652]

So Penix is out it sounds like? That really sucks if that's true.

 

Why did they have him meet with the media on Monday if he wasn't gonna be able to play? Was it a practice injury?

[TheWatShot 14,013]

Hopefully this isn't the dreaded "concussion protocol," but it probably is.

[Miller'sTheMan 1,652]

Chris, is there any chance Penix plays or is that a pipe dream at this point?

[The Ola Depot 1,213]

I doubt they’d have him out at practice in pads if he was in concussion protocol.

Guess its a lesson to media to always ask why a player came out early regardless of how innocent it seems. I like the IU media for the most part but they dropped the ball here a bit.

Rumors seem to refer to a sore shoulder from everything I've read unless you have seen differently.

I wouldn’t rule it out but he hasn’t thrown this week. Why take a chance of getting him hurt worse when we’re not likely to win. I guess it just depends on how bad it really is. I’m not nearly connected with the football program. I just know someone who’s at practice everyday

No he tweaked it in the game.

What was the point of having him meet with the media? Were they just trying to keep it under wraps and having him not meet would raise questions?

He might still be planning on playing.

I would love to see us finally get over the hump against O$U but I don’t see it happening this season. I feel we play hard and keep it interesting through the third quarter (after falling behind early). Then we start “making mistakes” in the fourth quarter that gives O$U a comfortable win.

I hope he is, Chris doesn't sound optimistic though.

The 2 people on this forum that actually prefer Ramsey over Penix are about to get their wish but will finally see why Ramsey is not the answer. I hope Ramsey pulls this off if Penix doesn’t play and I’ll be at the game rooting my tail off for him but without Penix, we stand NO CHANCE! Please prove me wrong Ramsey.

If we're being real we have no chance regardless unless God himself lines up under center, and even then it'd be a toss up.
