After all there is a baseball game later.

Lagow isn't the option, I'm not sure who is. But we can't beat a good team w/ Rich at the helm.

Wilson makes really dumb play calls on a regular basis.

Our previous offense could bail him out, but when your QB can't hit a guy on a slant you can't be making these calls

[ThompsonHoosier]

Besides the first quarter, our defense played well but once again our offense couldn't get anything going. It's so frustrating seeing the defense give us a chance but the offense doing nothing!!

[DChoosier]

Good news is that the defense played better in the second half and we are now only 290 days from reading the forum posts predicting "this will be the year" we win 8 or 9 games.

Eh, no RB or QB to be excited about. Next year will be similar.

First year under coach Allen; big improvement under defense...another
year by Lagow and our other QB's under offense? 2017 is our year!!
P.S. I seem to keep saying that every year...

Camion Patrick?

[ThompsonHoosier]

I'll be happy with 6 wins and another bowl game...we can still do that but our offense needs to get going!

[Miller'sTheMan]

If Lagow starts next week, there is something seriously, seriously wrong.

That does not matter. We will still be reading the "8 or 9 win" quotes and the indignation when national publications disagree. Happens every year.

[JSHoosier]

Wonder what other excuses will be cooked up to keep starting Lagow while he keeps costing us games?

Everyone should be out of excuses, including Wilson. His turnovers alone are far too costly not even taking his complete lack of accuracy into account.

[Hovadipo]

Defense absolutely dominated the 2nd half while being on the field for most of it. 0 points and the offense tripped into the endzone once to help out. That's rough.

So how about our basketball team this season?   Anything to get away from another funeral sermon on a football loss.  Same old IU football; 50+ years I've followed  a mostly sub-mediocre football team.  Much like the 17-year cicada every so often we emerge from dormancy for a fleeting moment of exhilaration only to quickly return to hibernation.  I don't think a genie's lamp and 3 wishes could give us a consistent winning team.  Bah!

We can win 2 out of the next three ( Maryland, Rutgers, PSU) and then beat PU to get to a bowl.

I do think that is possible but it is equally possible we only win one more.

Next week is big, to get to some sort of bowl, and it is good that we get MD at home.

 

[ThompsonHoosier]

Imagine if we had Sudfeld, Howard (or Coleman) and Cobbs with THIS defense....we would be top 3 in the East. I still think (or hope) we will make a bowl this year but next season may be awesome!
