Terrible management here. Buring 2 timeouts on 2nd and 14 and 3rd and 12. Yuck

Now that's some classic Indiana defense.

[IUFootballHappyHappyJoyJoy 724]

On the plus side, IU's defense has really stepped up this season.  And I typed this as Louisville just ran for a touchdown.

I just hate, hate our offense.  I hate that Walt Bell's playbook is, like, one sentence.  And I hate that Tom Allen just acts like a dumb oaf when we goof.

It’s almost like the offense is going to try to draw you offsides and if it doesn’t work it may be an audible to draw up the middle.

Shut down the best wr in week one and just letting this dude run around down field

Louisville seems to have a OC that knows how to use their speed. Would be nice if indiana did

Hey, if you bite on a screen pass, you do it as a team.

Henderson one hand catch and a first down

I love that

Typical IU Offensive Line: Looks at Quarterback and ask "Why he go down?"

... am I being TOO negative?

Bring em down TJ

Jackson throwing high so far.

[monskisprodigy 1,814]

I can see this kind of offense every Friday night at a local high school. Walt Bell is…exactly what I feared he was. 
 

Jackson’s balls sail high, and he makes the wrong decision on the option 9 out of 10 times. 

[IUFootballHappyHappyJoyJoy 724]

Henderson has been our best asset so far today as far as weaponry.  Which means Louisville is going to cover him without much challenge as the game goes forward.

Walt Bell is literally the worst OC in college football.

Mr. "I coached at Ben Davis High School" is at the helm.

... look, a lot of football coaches tend to get their starts at the high school level, I know... but they don't mentally STAY at the high school level!

Yep, 2 of the completions were in spite of high passes as were several misses.
At least we are getting a little separation which we rarely saw last year.

Our wide receivers are actually getting enough time to go out and get set for plays, instead of the quarterback having to hurry for his life, which is nice.  But having a quarterback that is accurate would be even better.

If TJ takes off a second earlier, he can run for a mile!

I just don't want our Star of the Game to be James Evans each week.
