Game Thread: 11/21 @ OSU Noon ABC

Don't think you can really play the 'what if game'.  If so, then Ohio State can play the 'what if' Justin Fields doesn't just uncharacteristally throw a couple of passes up for grabs and 'what if' they basically just kick an extra point long field goal to go up 10 late in the game.  I am dumbfounded why they didn't.  Up 10 is as good as up 14 there.

Thought the same thing! Head scratcher.

I actually disagree with this. Don't get me wrong, Fyrogle and Whop will end up as two of the most productive WRs in IU history, but WR is also the position we have the most depth at. Right now, take out Ty and Whop and IU fields Miles Marshall, David Ellis, and Jacolby Hewitt. That's still a Big Ten caliber starting WR group. Plus they have Rashawn Williams and Javon Swinton right behind those three. Their top commit for 2021? Jaquez Smith, literally the highest rated recruit in program history. Losing Ty and Whop is going to suck big time, but I don't think it's going to lead to a dramatic decrease in WR play.

Is there any way, if OSU loses a big ten game this season, that IU could get to the Big Ten championship game? Or would this loss break the tie and give OSU the right?

^^Such a good post.^^

Jaquez Smith is a big deal at exactly the right time. He is the #201 ranked player nationally, and he chose IUFB over, among many, many others, Alabama. Ya think he's gonna de-commit from a top ten program with exceptional culture AND a chance for immediate playing time? Nope. Moreover he is playing high school ball at 6'1", 190; that's major program size from the get-go. 

Michael Penix is gonna continue to have a talented group to throw to, and we are doing exactly what it takes to succeed long-term; we are re-loading.

You are correct- tie to Nuts for head-to-head win. They would have to lose 2x and IU win out.

Is this accurate? If they lose 1 and we win out, then we have the better record having played 1 more game than them. I think we would go to the title game in that scenario.

This seems reasonable and oh boy I would love to see what would happen if this plays out. Highly doubt the Bucks drop a diff. conference game though.

With Ohio State's last three conference games against Illinois, Michigan State, and MSU, this seems like a moot point.

Don't know -- that back-to-back against Sparty might prove tougher than we think! 

(Sorry -- that was a pr-ck thing to do, but I couldn't help myself! And if I didn't do it, you know someone else would have...)

I edited my post above just to make it the cheap shot look even worse! lol

PS: If you didn't do that some jerk named Stuhoo would have been the most likely poster to take that shot! :)
