I'm gonna trust our national championship defending coaching staff to continue making personnel decisions and game management choices that have this team sitting 8-1 after being one throw/catch away from being 9-0.

Unreal lack of confidence in a guy who has lost 3 games in 3 years here from some of you fellas lol. 

I cosign this 1000% and am very deferential to the staff on here. I still can’t figure out what they were doing on those last two time outs.  
 

Everyone makes mistakes. Maybe he’ll talk about it with Fisch.

I trust in Cig but he missed on Hoover.  And I’m not sure he’s done that before. He had to learn to let go 

If Hoover is healthy enough I think he will be starting after the bye, but I will be content trusting whatever Cig wants to roll with.

Should have been getting first team reps this past week, but whatever. Kudos to him. Nice to see a QB step into throws and hit guys in stride

Yep. All we need is a guy who can hit the wide open guys to sustain drives. We weren’t asking for much and offense with 2 first round WRs should not struggle

Patty Mac hit the field goal before half in Autzen last year too right?

That was Brendan Franke.

No i don’t remember his name and he got hurt very shortly after. But it wasn’t the current guy who saved the day today

Hoovers decision making is more concerning than anything. The misses are bad but his misreads on the RPO are drive killers 

[JSHoosier]

We've found ways to make the winning plays when we needed to, that's a sign of a good team.

Haines is earning his salary for sure, but can we please stop putting so much on the shoulders of the defense?

[Zachetology]

How did we win that game?

I hope he does because the clock management was definitely questionable in the last minute of the game. Really relieved to get out with a win and finally have a bye.

419-215 yardage and IU only won by a TD?

I wouldn't. He was missing a lot of throws and reads before he got hurt.

Charlie B from Nashville Tennessee and that defense.

That catch before the FG was ridiculous. 
 

Wilson made two good throws too

He was noticeably bad last week too. Michigan's safteies were crashing down constantly. At least twice missed corners showing late blitzes last week, ran into one, away from the other. Its the accuracy, its the in play decision making, its the presnap read. Since B1G play he has been a massive miss in talent eval. The injury sucks, he is clearly hurt. But its not just the accuracy

Yep.  Don’t think he’s cut out for the big ten talent. Some kids just crash and burn when they come to big leagues. He’s one. He will make a good investment banker next year

Their only TD was on a trick play. Defense couldn't have done much more than it did.

[Pagoda]

I’m kinda hoping we roll with Grant.

But, of course, whatever this staff wants to do is fine they’re excellent.
