Agreed. If you are gonna congratulate players, then is fair to blame them.This loss is 100% on Hoover. He choked in the spotlight and left 3+ TD's on the field do to his pitiful play. The missed FG & TO were more acute, but Hoover's atrocious play all day was the reason IU lost. Hopefully that motivates him and next time he doesn't fold under pressure. If not, IU has no shot at winning anything meaningful with him. Very disappointing that a guy with that much experience wet his pants when it mattered. 

Yardage numbers today look good for him but he was pretty awful. Marsh drifted out on the last play but if Hoover gets rid of that a just little sooner it's a TD.

If that’s Becker he stays in bounds. Lots of NFL scouts watching. Your QB isn’t always going to be perfect so you need to pay attention to those details to make sure you make those plays. It’s clearly not all on Marsh but the throw was there. He’s got to find a way to stay in bounds.

It definitely wasn't a bad throw and did give Marsh a chance to make the play.

Marsh didn't have his feet in right spot.

Or at least look like you’re trying

So i love Nico. But is it something to be concerned about rn

No.  55 yards is beyond his range.  The first one was a highish snap that got down but threw the timing off.

NO TEAM is standing out as an odds on favorite to win it all

We 110% win today with Mendoza but how many Mendoza’s are there?

I thought we would run it against anyone but was obviously wrong

Hoover isn’t throwing interceptions but he doesn’t see the field at an elite level and is inaccurate. At this point I don’t think it will change.

Missed FG’s, fumbles, no run game, missed passes and we still only lose to OSU by a foot.  Let’s beat UM !!

I wouldn't celebrate the injury of any player. That really sucks for Sayin, and I hope for his sake the injury doesn't impose long lasting limitations on him. However, Indiana screwed Ohio State over for weeks and America is better for it. 

[Hoosier987]

Gut wrenching loss. We made mistakes but thought we were better team.

if Sayin is out for the rest of season, OsU in big trouble.

You think so? Oregon, USC, Nebraska, NW, Michigan...not a cakewalk, but they should win all of those even with their back-up.

Not sure how long, but Day says "a couple of weeks"

Is next week the second bye week for OSU? How is that possible?

Its their only technical bye week. They played at home vs Maryland last week so it felt like a bye.

[Napleshoosier]

Bummer!  Off to Ann Arbor to kick their A$$ next week! Get over it.

Just saw someone on Twitter say broken elbow. I thought for sure broken collarbone after going back and watching the hit. Just the way he got up and his arm was limp. Either way he’s out for a while. Big blow as it sounds (and appears) they don’t have a ton of options as backups. But who does really anymore?

That’s what a 4-6 week recovery time

He said “several.” Who knows exactly….but I was not impressed with their back up qb

I assumed the guy we saw today was their best option....if so, they are in serious trouble to win another game!

He's young, and definitely wasn't all the ready for that moment, but he was IU's #1B option at QB in that class. I'd say the talent is there. Depends on how fast they can bring him up to speed.
