IUFB vs FIU - Saturday, 08.31.24 @ 3:30 on BTN

[Dave from Dayton]

Ohio State is losing to...Akron 0 to 3 with 10 minutes gone in the first.  OSU corner flagged with Flagrant after knocking Akron's starting QB out of the game.

Not being able to see the game; so does it look the Offensive Line is NOT offensive this year?

O$U has 8 five star CB's. Akron has one QB. Its called strategy.

Looks competent so far. Which is 2 levels better than some recent vintages. Not blowing people off the ball,, but there are holes and pass pro seems decent so far.

If you were playing a drinking game and had to chug every time you heard "transfer from James Madison" -- you'd be passed out by halftime!

OK.  I'll play that game.

I'm listening to radio and Suhr the Elder is happy he missed the last 2 years.

TD!

[Dave from Dayton]

TD!!!!!!

[Hardwood83]

One positive, on the RPO, I genuinely don't know what they're gonna do. Usually it's pretty obvious. Some good ball-handing and reads. Having an experienced QB is nice.

We clearly are not sucking at an appropriate IUFB level so far.

This is truly encouraging.

[Stuhoo]

Rourke looks like Carson Palmer out there.

[Dave from Dayton]

The IU offensive line is making decent holes.  The RB is quick and making cuts after getting through into the secondary.

I haven't seen but one FIU player actually getting through to chase a ball carrier on IU's side of the ball.

Play calling has been really good after the first series.

[LIHoosier]

Its August and we have our first bulls**T call of the year

[Hardwood83]

BS call

[Hovadipo]

That’s an awful freakin’ call. 

[LamarCheeks]

At first, I thought that was gonna be a taunting penalty -- because he sorta posed after the hit. 

But roughing the passer? Not sure about that.

Of course, the stripes from Cincy 2021 would’ve had ISP haul him off for that. 

[Lebowski]

One quarter finished up and I'm happier than a pig in poop!  So much of a different football team out there compared to last year.

I think what I like on Defense is I am not hearing anything about MISSED TACKLES.
