Game Thread: @Maryland 10/30 - Noon - BTN

Tagovailoa has never thrown for 400 yards in his career….until today. If Warren is a great recruiter, he hasn’t proven it yet. What he has shown is he isn’t a good DC

Sad thing is that after our return to mediocrity this season, our stadium will go back to looking like Maryland's does today: Plenty of people dressing up as empty seats for Halloween.

One reason tom Allen won't get IU to the next level because he has surrounded himself with garbage. He is the kind of guy that wants to take a nobody and say he is the reason they made then to hire someone who might teach him something

Now that's some bad prevent defense.

Our D is a trash can. Good for McCully, hitting some plays finally. Entertaining game albeit a L to a mediocre team.

McCulley is the guy. Forget about anyone else.

McCulley is the guy. Forget about anyone else. 

I would imagine if penix comes back it will be him for about 5 minutes before he gets hurt again.

Regardless of the health of Tuttle or Penix, I say go with McCulley going forward. 

This season is a bust -- let's get the kid ready for the future.

He has hired 4 coordinators and 2 of them are FBS head coaches having good seasons.

Agreed, if our OL doesn't get him killed.

Warren has clout coming in from Georgia as a big time recruiter. Some guys just aren’t promotable. I don’t mind the hire, but if Allen is going to keep his job and actually make this program successful he has to be willing to fire guys who simply aren’t getting it done. Warren and Hiller are no brainers

Change the name of the QB and this is the standard line for conference games in the Lynch era. 

Rugers ended up beating Illinois so IU is now the lone defeated team in the B1G. Yay!

50% is failing. And with how bad these two are... Oof.

Can’t/shouldn’t aruge the hires, they have all been solid. Sometimes things just don’t work out. Leadership is knowing when to move on for the better of the program. Warren isn’t what we hoped he’d be…it happens

Thanks for the math lesson. Really glad you understand context and nuance.

Jury has to still be out for Sheridan. What do you expect him to do without a functioning O Line, a 3rd string true freshmen at QB and a defense that’s playing near the worst in the conference. Not to mention a punter who’s completely erratic and continuously gives the opposing team good field position? There’s not a coach on the plant who can polish this turd from the OC chair

Did anyone else read the Georgia boards after we hired him? Their thoughts on the job he did as the DBs coach were not sterling.

Agree.  Sure, he was fortunate to get a 40 yard completion where he basically threw it at the defender and the 53 yard pass to Fryfogle at the end was broken coverage.....but regardless of how open he is, Tuttle hasn't show any willingness to take shots (or the staff won't let him) and Penix is so inaccurate he would have likely missed Fryfogle completely.

McColley mostly needs to work on his reads and he's locking in on one or two receivers too much, but as a freshman in his first start he looked pretty good.

Georgia fans have been miserable cucks for over a decade. Anything but a National Championship is failure to them even though they haven’t won one in my lifetime. They’re almost as irrational as Purdue fans

I think the question then becomes does either Tuttle or Penix suit up for us as backups next year?
