There is literally no way any of us will ever know if Hartline was distracted or if that was a 1st year OC getting his pants pulled down by a veteran DC with a veteran team.
Our offense and QB were clearly on the back foot all night though. Adjustments were late and ultimately not effective enough.
I think we saw yesterday why Saban told Lane to hit the road. Between signing day, interviewing, likely made some calls for staff, likely called a few players. The offense was not prepared to play today.
We’ve got 3.5 weeks. Day needs to let Hartline go down to Tampa for a week and get his shit figured out. Then he’s back and he’s in it 100%. If he’s not in it 100% for those 4-5 weeks then our offense might be walking into a game against a Georgia defense that is hitting its stride at the right time.
Congrats @tugger5000. Great season.Didn't want to play it safe knowing Troy had no shot.
On the bright side, since ESPN is seriously running this thing, Ohio State drops to No. 2. Georgia will be No. 3.
They (ESPN) wants to avoid Georgia vs Alabama/Texas A&M in the quarterfinal (No. 3 plays Tulane/Ole Miss).
Before last night he was perfect between 20-29 yards. It had to be a mental thing of attempting a field goal that, if he doesn't get it, will cost them the game. You could say that last year he made the game sealing field goal to win the Natty, but if he missed they still had the lead. Not as much pressure. You could say the same thing about Noah Ruggles during the Georgia game.I feel bad for the kid. He clearly has trouble with the extreme angles down on the hashes, whether it’s how he’s setting up to kick or hitting the ball. Those kicks have to be automatic if you’re competing for titles and they’ve cost OSU multiple huge games now.
He’s looked better this year, especially his leg strength, but I’m not sure he’s ever going to fix whatever issue he has.
Agree with all of this but came in to say exactly what you said in the first paragraph. Hartline is probably doing his best but with one foot out the door, that's just not going to work. He's an adult and will understand it's best for both sides...Hartline gets a head start in recruiting and we can have a fully invested OC at the helm.Lame duck coordinators are generally liabilities, whether it’s their own split attention or the HC muddying the water. Bring in Chip, even just as a ‘quality’ adviser,
Not even mad, extraordinary game by Indiana. I won’t lie, I haven’t been taking them entirely seriously. Won’t be so foolish going forward.
Beating any team twice is tough. If we see Indy in the playoffs, I expect (hope for) a very different experience.
What a great story Indiana is the last couple years.
