Alford Bailey Posted October 25, 2015 Posted October 25, 2015 We earned and deserve that score. Two straight games where we collapse in the 4th quarter. The halftime score and playing a team close into the third quarter means nothing when you give up late, long rushing scores during a time you should be expecting runs. Anyone expect anything different against Iowa and Michigan? I honestly expect worse against Iowa and Michigan. MSU just kinda toys with you then gets serious in the 4th quarter. Quote
Bobman1 Posted October 25, 2015 Posted October 25, 2015 Again, we played well in the first three quarters then fell apart. We played good defense on 1st and second down. And on third down they would convert what felt like every time. We just need to stay strong on defense and keep stopping them. Quote
Dalton26 Posted October 25, 2015 Posted October 25, 2015 That's one of the reasons I hate the hurry up offense. If your defense doesn't have the depth nor do they have the stamina to be on the field that much then you don't push the tempo to that extent. Alford Bailey 1 Quote

Our football team reminds me so much of our basketball team. Its hurry up and score and hope the other team misses. Dalton26 and theriverpilot 2 Quote
IU Bud Posted October 26, 2015 Posted October 26, 2015 Earned and deserved? It is what it is I guess, but I'm not sure you and I were watching the same game. I saw a team that played its nuts off against a better team, and were dragging ass at the end. I expect them to leave it all out on the field every game, Iowa and Michigan included. The opponent doesn't matter. Wake Forest nearly came back from a big 4th quarter deficit. They aren't good. Rutgers was down 25 points and won. They aren't good. We gave up nearly the same amount of late points to MSU. They are good. The result is the same and that is really all that matters. Quote

In the end, its going to be the results that count. However, I wouldn't consider the comparison of the Rutgers game and MSU game to be legit. In the Rutgers game, they seemed to think they had the game won, and just quit playing. In the MSU game, they played till they just didn't have anything left to leave out there. Both are still in the loss column. Quote

mhoban Posted October 27, 2015 Posted October 27, 2015 Not sure why coach abandon the running game in 4th qtr. The freshman kid grabbed some yards the couple of times he touched the ball. Burning some clock would have given our D some breathing space. Did Redding get any carries? Did not see him. Anyway, a bye week will give Howard a chance to heal. At full strength, look out Iowa and maize/blue. Could finish 8-4. If the defense shows up... ThompsonHoosier 1 Quote
Naturalhoosier Posted October 27, 2015 Posted October 27, 2015 @HoosierFootball: Led by 4 TFL from this man, IU recorded 13 TFL vs. MSU, the most since recording 15 vs. Minnesota in 1998. #iufb https://t.co/KkVrR3N7bM Quote
