Popular Post ThompsonHoosier Posted October 16, 2019 Popular Post Posted October 16, 2019 After dominating Rutgers last week, we head on the road to take on a Maryland team that looked like a top-10 team to start the season but has since cooled off. Maryland has struggled in recent weeks but still has plenty of talent to knock off anyone on any given Saturday. With dual-threat QB Tyrell Pigrome likely starting and their group of talented runningbacks, our defense will have to make sure we tackle and don't burned on the ground. Maryland does have the worst passing defense in the conference and was exposed by Purdue last week so they will have their hands full trying to slow down Penix and our talented receivers. Must remember that we are going on the road and life on the road in the Big Ten is never easy. We are currently a 5.5 point favorite and ESPN's Football Power Index gives us a 50.3% of winning on Saturday. Bill Connelly's SP+ metrics give us a 64% chance of winning. In terms of overall SP+ rankings: Maryland (3-3): Overall: 43 Offense: 56 Defense: 44 Special Teams: 125 Indiana (4-2): Overall: 25 Offense: 23 Defense: 32 Special Teams: 14 BtownStrength, lucel15, IUc2016 and 10 others 12 1 Quote
Bobman1 Posted October 16, 2019 Posted October 16, 2019 What about Josh Jackson?Jackson injured his ankle two weeks ago against Rutgers. Pigrome is 38-66 this year with 389 yards, a TD and 2 picks through two games.Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners Quote
Popular Post Walking Boot of Doom Posted October 16, 2019 Popular Post Posted October 16, 2019 Sorry for those players, but I will not complain if we get wins in part because of injuries. Like I said, I don’t care how we get 6 just that we get there. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners jk34, ALASKA HOOSIER, thebigweave and 9 others 12 Quote
ThompsonHoosier Posted October 17, 2019 Author Posted October 17, 2019 Starting cornerback Tino Ellis is also out for the year with an upper body injury. mamasa 1 Quote
HoosierAloha Posted October 18, 2019 Posted October 18, 2019 We’re favored anywhere from 3-6 points, on the road, in a Big Ten game. Crazy!They have a lot of key injuries. Also, their kicker has only attempted two FGs this season and missed both. This is a weird game. I hope we get off to a fast start like we did against Rutger and never look back.

Loaded Chicken Sandwich Posted October 19, 2019 Posted October 19, 2019 Should be a win. Shouldn’t be as close as last year. Hopefully this team is ready to whoop some a$$ and take care of business. When was the last time Indiana started a season 5-2?Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners Quote

HoosierAloha Posted October 19, 2019 Posted October 19, 2019 Mine has UI celebration for the next two weeks... weird. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mamasa and johnsoniu 2 Quote
JSHoosier Posted October 19, 2019 Posted October 19, 2019 Guide shows Minny/Rutgers, but when they finally get tired of showing the UI celebration on repeat it goes to the IU game. Whatever, as long as it stays there I'll take it. Quote
BabyJandJDaddy Posted October 19, 2019 Posted October 19, 2019 Only way I could find the game was through Fox Sports Go app. Quote
HoosierAloha Posted October 19, 2019 Posted October 19, 2019 Westbrook has to get his hands out to make that catch. He was waiting for the ball to get to him. Good first drive. Need to play better in the secondary. This is way too sloppy. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners Quote
LIHoosier Posted October 19, 2019 Posted October 19, 2019 Fisch has already called Maryland 'Rugers' several times. According to Fisch, anything near the ocean is Rugers. We're gonna give them penalties all the way to the goalline. Quote
Hoosierfan2017 Posted October 19, 2019 Posted October 19, 2019 Allen needs to take over the defense. The DC isn't getting the job done. They're so undisciplined. BGVille Hoosierfan 1 Quote
TheWatShot Posted October 19, 2019 Posted October 19, 2019 Just now, Hoosierfan2017 said: Allen needs to take over the defense. The DC isn't getting the job done. They're so undisciplined. I thought he gave up that role because the defense still sucked with him trying to be head coach and D coordinator? Hoosierfan2017 1 Quote
HoosierAloha Posted October 19, 2019 Posted October 19, 2019 Need to fix the defense ASAP. We just gave them a TD on their opening drive. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners Quote
