IUFB vs Washington - Saturday, 10.26.24 - ESPN College Game Day

[Hoosier Guy]

Horrible @$$ ******* play calling there.  Do something ******* different besides the same ******* play over and over again.

[Golfman25]

Those handoff don’t look clean.  Almost like TJ is trying to keep it.   Have to go to a positive give down at the goal line.  

[RoadRage]

OL was not able to get any push, maybe try something a little more inventive if we get in the same situation again?

[LamarCheeks]

You telling me TJ can't line up under center, take a snap, slide between a couple lineman -- and go 3 feet? 

Jeeze. That was bad. 

[Hoosier Guy]

Also, I’m ready for Rourke to be back.

[Stuhoo]

We came into the game a 5.5 point favorite.

We are up ten at half. 

They are a quality, but mistake-prone opponent. So this is all very good news.

When Tayven is 24 years old and in his 5th year he will be more savvy, like Rourke now is.

[Banksyrules]

More about nerves with Jackson.  Let him have a few 15yard or fewer passes and let the run game do its thing.  

[RaceToTheTop]

Plays even at 35 at the half.  That's big because before that last drive the Huskies had an 18 play advantage.

[Dave from Dayton]

TJ has his feet under him after a slow start.  IU will find a way to get some rushing yardage.  OL needs to figure how to push and trap.  Hit the line a little earlier.

Seems the coaches went conservative with TJ, understandably so.

Pull out the stops. Let TJ run.

Hope the turnovers keep favoring IU.  Not sure about our DL at times.  But that is football.  Hope defense keeps IU in the game.  Keep thinking bend but not break.  Touch and go, though.

Yeah, he's 9 of 14 for 100 yards after starting 2 of 5 for 20 yards.

I think Tayven has done a great job so far!

IU after long first half drive and gets ball to start 2nd half with no turnovers other than on downs…looking for IU to sustain an opening drive with some points to start 2nd half…and leverage game by wearing down Washington defense as 2nd half wears on including plus 2 more turnovers created by IU defense for a solid win.

I still can’t believe that play calling.  Not only that, but in shotgun the entire time at the 1 yard line.  No sense whatsoever.

[DChoosier]

One of the announcers kept saying that IU hasn’t changed the offense at all with TJ.

Dont know what he is smoking but there is no way we would have repeatedly run at the goal line with Roarke. The play calling is definitely different with TJ.

If we don’t use the whole package the run game won’t have room.

Different equation if we are up two scores in the 4th quarter

I bet coach was worried about a turnover on the exchange?

[Stuhoo]

LOVE the decision to take the three points.

Would have seemed a little like Cig’s bravado was overtaking his rational instincts otherwise.

[Dave from Dayton]

Only reason for the low scores is because of my big prediction for a change:

W                                                24

IU                                                41

So of course it will be half of those marks.
