IU kick off their B1G schedule today at Penn St. For those of you who could care less about the No Fun League, this should be a good watch.

Sunday's were made for futbol.  Let's go Hoosiers!

[JaybobHoosier 12,384]

Will be switching back and forth between this game and football. Can't wait for the game, and let's kick some lion butt!!!

[JaybobHoosier 12,384]

IU started out well, but have had trouble getting a good rhythm going. They had some good runs near the corners, but couldn't get good openings in the middle. Really need to find some gaps and penetrate towards the middle.

Come on Hoosiers, let's go!

[JaybobHoosier 12,384]

Refs missed a big hand ball on PSU! Luckily they couldn't convert.

[JaybobHoosier 12,384]

#15 Gootman (sp?) is really working the left side on offense. Keep it up!

[mamasa 15,687]

That shot got PSU attentions!!

[JaybobHoosier 12,384]

DANG IT!!!! Femi with a terrific shot hit the cross bar. Ah man, had the goal if it was just a few inches lower.

[LIHoosier 27,183]

Femi bangs one off the crossbar.

 

This goes back a way, but we've gotta slot away the PK's when the opportunity arrives.

[JaybobHoosier 12,384]

Have to get a better shot on goal than that weak kick. Come on guys!

[JaybobHoosier 12,384]

0-1 PSU. Bad defense, wow!

[LIHoosier 27,183]

And there's what happens when you don't take your opportunities. 1-0 PSU

[mamasa 15,687]

Looks like middle school defense out there

[JaybobHoosier 12,384]

Take that back, not bad defense, but still can't believe that.

[JaybobHoosier 12,384]

Looked like we scored on ourselves.....

[JaybobHoosier 12,384]

Finally good penetration. Have to attack the net.

[JaybobHoosier 12,384]

Another close one. Had the header but was hit out by a defender. We can't convert.

[JaybobHoosier 12,384]

Thanks ref, missed call.

psu just has our number.  beaten us in the last 3 matches.  i called this loss in my bold predictions article.  would've preferred to not be able to say 'i told ya so', of course.  called a tie vs notre dame...10 sec away from nailing that one too.

 

not sure who to play on top.  maurey certainly isnt the answer.  look for femi up there next game, though he's not really a striker.

 

i dont think i've ever seen a player hit the posts more than femi.  and i honestly dont remember the last time we converted a pk.

 

still think we're headed for a good season though.  just need to work out the kinks.
