I didn't get to see as much of the game as I would have liked but from what I did see and from looking at the stat line this kid looks like a dog. So how will he perform during the rest of non conference and into conference play?

[IU Hoosier41 14,465]

He'll tear it up similar to what Tevin did. Solid running back who is tough to bring down by first defender running behind a pretty damn good run blocking line = a lot of highlights for him.

Which is awesome for us, 2 straight NFL draft picks at RB will help us tremendously in recruiting.

Small sample yesterday, but I didn't see the same level of afterburner that Tevin had. No complaints though, he's going to do some serious running for us.

A ton of yards after contact. As mentioned above he was dragging players all over. The 1-2 punch of him and Redding rank in the top tier of the conference.

Gang tackle or go home.

We're not going to see the 60, 70 and 80 yards run that we saw a year ago but he still has good speed.

 

But he's a powerful runner. IU has great offensive balance now.

 

Now if the defense can just hold someone to 28 points or less, this team has a chance.

Or 90 yard runs against Ohio State.

Its all good. Take three or four runs to punch it in versus one long one. Gives the D a extra minute or two on the bench.

[Miller'sTheMan 1,652]

He's not as fast as Coleman, but he's a much more powerful runner. Seems like he drags a defender 4-5 yards after first contact nearly every run and Redding's speed makes him a nice change of pace back. Our offense will be really balanced this year.

I'm more than fine with 6 or 7 yards a run.

It's prob better that way for our defense to rest some more.

Fixed that for you.

[HoosierReb01 7,591]

Fixed that for you.

Well, I'll stick to my version at the moment. Yesterday was ugly, but they have their opportunities to right the ship. No sense going totally negative on them over yesterday. Being negative all the time just takes the joy out of life. Another effort or two like that though......

[Miller'sTheMan 1,652]

Fixed that for you.

Give them time, they may look better next week against a better opponent. I know getting Scales, Latham, Dutra, and Green back will help a lot. If they still look like swiss cheese next week then we can panic.

[Dennis 58]

Slow down a little - we don't know how long those suspensions are for.  Has anyone heard if they will get to play next week yet?

Wilson wasn't definitive on that topic in his postgame press conference on Saturday. Here is what he said when he was asked that question:

 

"I don't know, we may have some (more) between now and then. Somebody is college football is doing something stupid tonight, I can guarantee it. Hopefully it's not 47408 but that's the world we live in. Eighty percent of Americans, 80 percent of college kids, 80 percent of college athletes drink. That's why we talk to our guys about lifestyle and how to give up some things and how to be a great team to recover. We'll see. I promise you, were going to put 11 out and play hard and not give up like those guys did today. If there was a problem, the team would have folded. There's not a problem. The team has to play better.''
