Defense might be getting tired

I wish they would show Becker and Marsh, it looks to me like they are getting mugged, but it's hard to tell cause they aren't showing it very often!

The CBS coverage hasn't been very good, IMO.

Thank god for not having Gary Danielson.

What is going on with our run defense

[Golfman25]

Fourth quarter.  Need a defensive to.  

[skhoosier2]

We are a tired football team. 9 straight is a lot. Defense has carried this team. This is a big 4th down if Minny goes for it. 

[KingPG21]

I get really concerned about the stamina of our defense. We had that stopped at the line of scrimmage. Cig has been putting way too much on them. Dudes are tired. This is 9 straight weeks of competitive football.

Yep. This is exactly why Cig putting everything on the defense for weeks now has been an issue, Dudes are gassed

[pumpfake]

It feels like we have only 2 paths to a TD: 1. Defense, or 2. A long run by a RB.

[skhoosier2]

We are cooked. Needed that 4th down stop. 

[KingPG21]

We might honestly lose this game. Our defense looks gassed. Cig screwed them by continuing to put Hoover out there for weeks, then being conservative every time. Guys look gassed

I mean…he was gone as soon as they opened it up. Only so much you can do

And Indiana had Hoover, who’s clearly a bust as soon as it opened up. Cig is one of the best coaches to ever do it. He missed on Hoover and he should have figured out how to keep Alberto. Hoover and Wilson ain’t it, and at Least little Alberto did some positive things when he had the chance 

[str8baller]

Need to get after here on 3rd

[KingPG21]

Okay great job by the d line. Get yourselves off the field

[IU5355]

We need them to miss this. 

[pumpfake]

I remember when we had a reliable kicker....

[skhoosier2]

It’s not looking good. We needed Josh to play much better today. I don’t think Grant can do it and asking our D to win it just isn’t feasible.

This has felt like a loss since the second quarter, at least to me. You can't win games at this level with an offense this bad. 

[Claxdj01]

I wish memorial stadium was a hard place to play 

[KingPG21]

Poor game management for weeks. Conservative decision making. Constantly forcing the defense to be out there for more snaps than they should for weeks now. All of it is hurting us right now. This is 100% on Cig.
