akhosrof Posted November 6, 2016 Posted November 6, 2016 Cant see this team beating PSU or Michigan. Gonna come down to the Purdue game.PSU is killing Iowa. PSU is a legit top 25 team. They will be tough but I feel if they were to be upset we are a good matchup against them, provided we play our best game. ThompsonHoosier and ALASKA HOOSIER 2 Quote
TheWatShot Posted November 6, 2016 Posted November 6, 2016 Didn't see the second half. Can someone tell me why we went for 2 after going up 26-24? Quote

Snap was bad on the PAT Edit#1- snap wasn't bad, Gedeon didn't handle it. Edit#2- I see ESPN has it as a failed 2 pt conversion in their game summary. They are idiots. Quote
TheWatShot Posted November 6, 2016 Posted November 6, 2016 Well, that figures. Must have been a lousy week of practice leading up to this one. Quote
Crimson and Cream Posted November 6, 2016 Posted November 6, 2016 How awesome would it be to lock up the bowl game next week and just be able to play loose the last two games? HoosierAloha, akhosrof and ThompsonHoosier 3 Quote

I realize the coaching regimes have changed quite a bit there the last few years, but Penn State has historically played below their standards when they come to Bloomington. Kind of similar to how we play at PSU in basketball. ALASKA HOOSIER, lucel15, mdn82 and 1 other 4 Quote

hsrtxp Posted November 6, 2016 Posted November 6, 2016 I'm not sure I see anyone beating Michigan.I want to see UM knock OSU out of the CFP discussion. Would love to see us catch PSU sleeping. We can't bring what we brought yesterday and expect to even be close. Keep the defense playing strong and get rid of the mistakes on offense and we may have a chance. Going into pur[emoji90] game already being bowl eligible would be fantastic. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners HoosierAloha and ALASKA HOOSIER 2 Quote
KB0 Posted November 7, 2016 Posted November 7, 2016 Legitimate question - when was the last time this team was blown out form the start of the game and didn't contend in the game at all? I can't really think of one this year/last year. So that seem's to indicate that IU Football tends to play to the level of their competition. Either up or down. As we saw in the Nebraska/OSU games, this team absolutely can beat Penn State. As we saw against Wake, Rutgers, NW, this team can absolutely lay an egg. If I was a betting man, I would bet that the PSU game will be a close one. Win the takeaway battle and I like IU's chances. As frustrating as this season has been at times (see Saturday), the team is 5-4 and one win away from back-to-back bowls. A year removed from losing Sudfeld, Howard, etc. I think that says a lot about what Wilson has done with this program. He's raised the floor. He can do more. It may take a few more years, but I think he can get this program to 7-8 wins consistently. Side note: when was the last time the team as above .500 through 9 games?

I was hoping for a little more improvement but thats hard to do without a QB. And we havent gone on the typical 4 game losing streak so thats something. Quote
bhaggard89 Posted November 7, 2016 Posted November 7, 2016 4 turnovers right? 2 Lagow INTs, Zander fumble, and Paige fumble? That was the definition of ugly win It was not a Mitchell Paige fumble. It was a fumble on a kick return by Devonte Williams. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app HoosierAloha 1 Quote

akhosrof Posted November 7, 2016 Posted November 7, 2016 Let's open up that PSU game thread! Lots to talk about this week! I feel good about our chances against PSU if it wasn't for our kicking game. Can't have FGs less than 40 yards being a nail biter. Do we make a change this week? Quote
