I'm no math major, but ... 

If we keep getting 3 points while they keep getting 7 points -- they're gonna pass us by pretty soon.

OK, someone's gotta start getting "hurt" after every play

[mark1981]

Oh no.   We suck again

[Loaded Chicken Sandwich]

This defense is awful. 

[JerryYeagley23]

Losing Coach Womack was a lot bigger loss than we gave it credit for. Last year our defense put all kinds of pressure on the QB and he had energy on the sidelines similar to CTA. Our defense is vanilla this year, and our talent is better, so that shouldn’t be the case.

Strange third down call there by WKU.

DBs aren't out making plays and getting to the ball quicker either. Looks like a Wilson defense again. Just sitting back and waiting.

I have 31 years of PTSD with IU Football. This season feels like Lucy was finally going to let us kick the ball. Good grief.

WKU’s OC should be tar and feathered after that call. Zappe is torching IU’s super soft secondary and he calls a cutesy inside draw that loses 3 yards. Yikes

I think you mean Wommack? ... Sheridan is our OC.

It's like Bill Lynch is back at Indiana this season.

Yep. I edited it. Thinking faster than I could type. Womack had our defense in all sorts of different looks and bringing pressure from everywhere. Coach Warren’s defense looks too predictable. Maybe because he came from Georgia and had a lot better talent so he could just rely on His defensive backs to make plays without doing anything exotic. IDK. Big difference this year. And that’s the biggest variable that changed. We should have opened up the pocket book to keep Womack.

Be nice to see a replay if Mullen stepped on the goal line before batting the ball back.

WKU screwing themselves on this drive. Should have stayed with the short and fast pass game. They were killing us.

Yeah -- that was weird. Not only did they not show a decent replay, but the official stood and watched Mullen tip it out -- and about 5 seconds later, he signaled for a touchback. 

[Loaded Chicken Sandwich]

Announcers surprisingly brings up a great point about targeting on offensive players. 

[LIHoosier]

3 quarters of awful camera work and production and NOW they're gonna try replaying the last punt like the Zapruder film?

Some definite complacency came with the Warren hire and it shows through in his scheme. Not sure we could’ve paid enough to keep Wommack. That dude wanted to lead a program, bad.

[LamarCheeks]

For once, I think the announcers are right. Our guy touched that ball. 

Jeezus, if you're not gonna catch the punt -- stay the hell away from the ball.
