Game Thread- Gator Bowl IU vs Tennessee Jan 2, 7 pm EST ESPN

[NOLA Hoosier 1,267]

Well that was a big ol’ heap of why I don’t usually watch IU football. They do this almost every single time. 

[JaybobHoosier 11,821]

IU does not have good football or basketball coaches. Just another athletics embarrassment for the university. Good riddance to Fred Glass.

You are an ignorant moron!

I know I should be happy about our first 8 win season in decades, but that 4th quarter is going to leave a bad taste in my mouth all offseason. 

And I'm not here for all the Peyton Ramsey slander were about to see because of that last pass. We're not even in this position without him this year. 

Ramsey was the only reason they had a chance to win. Kid had a great game

Go f*** away. You are only here when they do bad


This would be a tie game if our dann kicker could kick a XP.

THIS IS on him and only him.

I hate being up 13 instead of 14. Just can't shake the feeling we're going to screw something up in these last seven minutes and lose 23-22. 

Haha. Knew we'd find a way.

Man I hate to be the negative Nancy but holy sh*t we misused TO’s all year and how do you not have more guys on the line in an obvious onside kick situation? Just blows my mind. And I’m happy with what Allen did this year but damn this was a major choke job 

[iubb 2,373]

This loss is on coaching. Not sure how you get such a hefty raise and not know when to call a timeout.

No it’s not on coaching.

We kick the EasY XP. and it’s tied right now.

Typical IU late-game choke job and just terrible coaching throughout the entire game. Really disappointing end to the season.

[maharkn 1,594]

First game of the year?

The best you have is against a garbage team who they should have best by 50. He doesn't have a killer instinct to put games away. Would Nick saban go into conservative mode up seven with 10 minutes to go? No he wants to win by 50 and that's what Indiana needs

Can anyone seriously watch that game( not just the 4th quarter) and think Tom Allen isnt a moron? Seriously?

Nah the drive when we were up 22-9 with 7 to go and DeBoer called two horrible plays on 2nd and 3rd down then following that with going into prevent defense cost them the game. Horrible by our OC and DC coordinators. Allen not knowing how to use timeouts hurt a lot too The kicking team looking discombobulated out of a timeout was awful to watch too

Well... I’m done with football until season. Nothing exciting ever happens in the off-season. Colorado is about to beat #4 Oregon.

don't start THAT crap. 

[cthomas 5,905]

The difference between really good teams and us is they make the plays we left on the field. All in all, great effort and on to hopefully a better next season.

[Crimson and Cream 5,693]

My issue, again, is the fiery pre-game speech imploring his team to leave it all out on the field, only for him to go conservative and cost our team the game with a multitude of mistakes. I just have a hard time respecting someone who can't practice what they preach. The program is definitely headed in the right direction but it's taking baby steps when it could be making leaps and bounds.

My final thought was “thank God that OC is headed to Fresno.”

I’ll be scratching my head over the lack of awareness about an onside kick for weeks now. Not sure what they were expecting UT to do there

No it wasn’t 

Went to conservative mode on offense when we could have cut their throat and then let them fly down the field when we went into prevent defense with about 6 minutes to go. Reminiscent of the MSU game. And....we weren’t prepared for the onside kick and made extremely poor use of out timeouts (think we used two tonight to ice our own kicker...lol).

They just said that teams that trailed by 13 with 5 minutes to go were 0-471 this year. Now it’s 1-471.

Bigger picture we won 8 and played a bowl game in Florida. I would have taken that in a minute when the season started.

Ugh. That’s just ugly and salt in the wound
