It was a strange week ..Day didn’t handle it well enough, that said the college football calendar is trash.

Taking nothing away from IU, but we played poorly in the trenches, and in play-calling IMO, and those are bigger reasons as to why we lost.

IMO, Ryan Day didn't seem overly concerned in the presser either.

Maybe this team needed to play a comically bad game before going on epic playoff run. Worked last season....

You're way over-reacting, and drumming it back up. Leave it alone like you know you should have. Thanks.

The biggest stat to me was 3rd down conversions. We were on the wrong side of it for both units.

Yep, lost too many 3rd downs. Play calling?

When will this trend of following the analytics end in regards of going for it on 4th and 1? That might work when playing inferior opponents that you can push around. Indiana is not one of them. (I can't believe I just typed that.)

This is why. You attack my football intelligence for some reason.

I played football 2 decades of my life. Literally half my life.

And you’re confused what you did.

There was NO REASON for you to say this.

With that said, go bucks and hopefully someone here tells this dude to relax

The Defense did generate a turnover and short field position. The offense didn't capitalize.

I should have been more specifically. The defense needs to generate 'consistent' or 'multiple' turnovers.

The slow developing run plays killed us. It's like it takes 5 seconds for the ball to be snapped, go to the QB, and into the RBs hands. Too many times that happened last night.

I'm wondering if we're saving plays for playoffs (like QB runs).

No

CJ was signed to be the hammer and he never seemed comfortable with the plays and OL for whatever reason. He could do it at WVU ..

After sleeping on it, not really sure what to think. This could've simply been a battle between the two clear best teams in the country and Indiana made one more play than OSU while the Buckeyes didn't play near their best. I have no more real concerns with the defense. The only playoff team with a better offense than Indiana is Ole Miss, and their defense is ass. Plus there's the whole Kiffin nonsense.

Offense scares me a lot more after this game and it's mainly because of play calling. OL and Sayin didn't play great in the first half but they seemed to settle down in the second half. The red zone play calling in the second half was coaching malpractice and it's something we've seen with Day through out the years. Multiple times with 3rd and 1 in the red zone only to piss it away with a dumbass passing play.

If this was like the Texas game where the lack of execution was more of a problem, I'd feel a lot more confidence going into the playoffs.
