Game Thread: IUFB vs. Louisville in Indianapolis 9/16/23 (12pm Eastern on BTN)

Bummer but I feel better about our chances against Rutgers/Illinois etc.

Jackson looked more and more comfortable. Have to remember he is only a RS Freshman with little prior game experience. His upside is higher than I thought.  D played better in the second half but too bad they didn’t show up in the first half.

Still have little (no) faith in the staff when it comes down to crunch time decision making. Allen looks like he is about to give birth when the game is tight at the end.

Tom Allen and staff needs to be let go. This includes medical, strength, support. Just start fresh.

On the plus side, my sick brother is going to be very happy that I got to feed his pet snakes for him this afternoon.

Do You mean all game, except for the 3 rd Qtr and 5 min of the 4th?

Not all game, 2H was a lot better, but man 18 inches away from a TD…

[RoadRage 1,415]

At least with the way Jackson played in the second half, I have a glimmer of hope for the future!

That TO on the goal line is a stone killer. Inexcusable. 

When you hire losers that's the result you get

Didn’t watch the second half but what an IU football way to lose. 

[maharkn 1,630]

Goal line play should have been fake handoff sneak the TE out to the flat. Did that with hendershot a bunch

Another happy exciting moral victory with a chance to win that’s all you can ask for flavor of TA post game of playing not to lose philosophy.  
 

 If IU scores on its last series then Louisville would have scored again.  If game goes into overtime IU loses in overtime.  IU was not going to win.  Its IU football.

Best part of game leadership is T. Jackson in post game interview.  Just like his brother a great respectful college student athlete.  Great guy from a great high school program.

Would love for CTA to step down as HC and then stay as DC

At least have Lucas in the backfield also to roll out…make them think about it.

Yep, a classic IU football Saturday.  Second half was excellent besides the goal line play.  Defense not getting us the ball back from the drive from the 1 is rough.  They didn’t even do anything risky.  Tough loss, but no one is surprised.

If the Washington Generals started beating the Harlem Globetrotters, the Globetrotters would have just found a different patsy....IU is the Washington Generals of college football, everyone we play are the Globetrotters!

Statistically pretty even game for the most part. Tom Allen will always put you at a disadvantage in close games. Dude freaks out like a freshman.

Yeah, they literally put no one outside the box.  It's a walk in around end.

I still have no idea how IU had to go all offseason and two games into the regular season before deciding that Jackson is better than Sorsby.

No. He's not even that good of a DC.

Rubbing a little salt in our collective wounds.

Kane Wommack up 16-0 on the road at OK St. Unsure if this is related to our game. Yet.

TJ isn’t or problem. The players are not our problem. They are our hope. 
the offensive staff calls **** plans like my meth head daughter, trying to decide the shape of the macaroni for dinner. 
neither are winnners at anything except the best tent spot on a San Fran sidewalk! And the actually suck at that.
