Poor sap…how about enjoying all 72 years instead of just 12 of 72?

Surpsingly Indiana only up 11 over a desimated North Texas team.

Through the first half:

Things I liked:

1. 36 offensive plays.
2. Only one penalty, and although it was a bad one in a situation when it wasn't necessary, it was one of aggression.
3. The variety in and most of the execution of the passing game.
4. Julian running one in.
5. No obvious blown assignments on D. Very solid play overall, despite week 1 meh tackling.
6. An INT!

Things I didn't like:

1. Losing hidden yards with special teams. They finally hired a proven dedicated coach for it and it's still the same old shit.
2. Run blocking and lack of offensive physicality generally.
3. Phillip Daniels in pass blocking.
4. Lack of havoc from the D. As good as last year's D was at being watertight, it didn't make a lot of game changing turnover plays. Let's see more of those this year.

Wherever you are in life, never, and I mean never, sell your assets. Leverage them. Simple formula for the strict retirees would be to borrow what you need and have your RMD’s pay the interest until the end of time. You‘ll be able to write off the interest, and more importantly, your family will thank you when they receive their inheritance.

Daniels struggling again is one thing, year 2 of no one being good enough to take his job away is another.

It does seem that way. If the Bobcats score again, it might be over.

Just want to say the new play caller looks solid. Just have to be able to run the ball some. Bo averaged 6.1ypc last year

I knew last year about Daniels , and yes he did get away with a tackle

Jackson being 7 for 19 is absurd. I get the oline struggles, but it’s Ball State. Do some of that RB1 shit

OH NOES !!! WE'RE GONNA LOSE !!!

I take that first half as proof that Day reads my emails.

As long as the he double reads the ones about TSUN and prints it out and puts it on the damn wall in the weight room

Good Things:

1. Julian is as advertised. Looks great even under pressure. Throwing lasers. Showing mobility.

2. JJ is a God on the field.

3. Mccuin and Innis have looked good.

4. Secondary has looked good for the most part.

5. Getting a lot of pressure on QB, just haven't finished.

6. Run D has been solid.

7. Wilder is a bull in the China shop, keep him on the field.

8. 2 minute offense ran to perfection. Two drives over 90 yards.


Concerns:

1. The run game has been almost ineffective. RBs look average at best, oline getting no push. 2.1 yards per carry against Ball Fucking State wtf...

2. Daniels has not improved to my untrained eye.

3. Legend Bey making freshman mistakes

4. Defense out of position a couple of times

5. Missed tackles

Yeah if they were like drives take it. But they hanging up letting their guys get in place

Who on the O-line just tackled someone?

Number 70 Daniels, how did they miss that!

I don't believe that the linemen that we have had for the 2nd year now can't do the job, at least at a serviceable level. They just look slow and confused. This is a scheme problem. Shouldn't be seeing this by game day.

I take that first half as proof that Day reads my emails.

This is where I’m at, maybe unpopula but why is Innis telling him to not come out?

I get the insubordination. Maybe they’re testing him and the kid is failing. He’s gotta listen to his captain. But come on, it’s 3 yards deep.

Guess all Day knows is fair catches though.

Man, Ryan Day is furious

I’ll take Evil Ryan Day for the rest of the season. Not great today, but he can stay fired up the entire way through.

Captain Buckeye said:

West hasn’t been on the field…

Curious what Bey looks like at RB

Click to expand...

What? West was on the field in the first Q while Jackson was getting his armed taped.

He also has 1 carry for -1 yards

OL is still a concern. Especially Daniels. Other than that looks good though

Captain Buckeye said:

And that’s the thing… look I want to run the ball but if that’s not our strong suite then just don’t do it.

They're going to have to run it at some AND the pass pro has been shaky. Honestly the OL so far might look a little worse than last year unless Ball State is just a much better team than we thought. Last year the OL didn't have much of a problem pushing lesser opponents around.

He got to the 10 and the 16, instead of the 25, so that's 34 yards of stat padding required for the offense. Sure, it's Ball State, but can't always put the offense at a disadvantage. Catch it on the line, run it out, catch it 5 yards deep, just take the 25 and let the offense get to work.

Captain Buckeye said:

Oh that was a dig at Toney lol

I was happy to see it. Hate that kid.

If we were running the ball well, then people would say "...it was against Ball State though."

But we aren't running it well, so want to see how we fix that.
