Those wasted timeouts would've helped right now

This loss is 100% on Penix. 16/35 for 5.9 yards per attempt and 3 interceptions is terrible. He needs benched. 

In fairness, Fryfogle dropped 3 of those. The 3 picks though are unforgivable. Tuttle gives us the best chance to win

Fully expecting a Jalen Smith style taunting of the IU fans from Ridder once the clock strikes 0’s

They’re going to be lucky to go bowling this year.

Hopefully all the juju that has left football and soccer is finding it’s way to assembly hall

Well at least Purdue is losing lol

[DoctorP 813]

Penix will giveth and he will taketh. Unfortunately Fryfogle decided to drop everything Penix tried to give him today. 
 

Penix should have a tiny leash rest of season—put in Tuttle quick

Guys the reality is that we have a good Coach with nice schemes. We just need more reliable players not to make that epic mistake.

I mean, let him. He looked damn average today. They’ll beat ND too but looking forward to UC getting left out for a one loss OSU. Screw the bearcats

I don't see us winning a single Big Ten game. God I hope the DC and OC are gone after this year. They are horrid. 

[DoctorP 813]

Can we talk about Fryfogle?

I've never seen one play ("targeting" call) take the wind out of a team like this one did

It really killed us. It really showed one how great he was but at the same time how mentally weak we are.

Can't throw it across your body to the middle of the field, esp. if it isn't 4th down

But...they've all been interceptions so far...he's due for success doing that eventually! 

[theriverpilot 5,589]

Even with the poor play from Penix, IU still had a chance to go ahead and fumbled inside the 5 yard line. Three wasted red zone trips. Penix is partly to blame today but shouldn’t bear 100% of it.
With that said, I think it might be time to see what Tuttle can do from here

We need to find a replacement desperately for McFadden next year. The dropoff of the defense without him today has been drastic

[Southside 1,914]

[Loaded Chicken Sandwich 8,182]

It's clear that Matthews is by far and away our best WR and it's an embarrassing dropoff after him. Offensive line sucks. Defense is weak. DC has made this defense a joke. Sheridan has god awful play calling. Penix is done. He's just not good anymore. Bench him for the year. We've gotten our butts absolutely smoked since the targeting call.

Last year was still fun but it’s looking more and more like a fluky season during a weird year. 

[KzooHoosier82 972]

Tom Allen Jr can’t be on the field to spell McFadden going forward. Kid doesn’t have it and it’s completely obvious. There’s no way you can convince me we don’t have a more talented and athletic backup
