One thing I’ll concede is a coach shouldn’t have multiple analysts to actually do the coaching. I don’t know the total dynamics but last year it was widely accepted that there were at least 2 former OL coaches doing a lot of the coaching.

I think Julian should come back next year. In the big games he’s really struggled. I don’t think either back up is ready but I also don’t think what we’ve seen from Julian this year would have been good enough to win it all anyhow. Provided the coaches actually call plays that Luke can execute...

It was verbalized a bit oddly. I can’t recall what he exactly said but it was enough for me to think “damn that’s an aggressive thing to say” typically coaches are a bit more diplomatic and say “we need to affect the QB”… I don’t think he told the team to hurt Julian or something odd like that...

Teams don’t play man vs us anymore for the most part.

Yeah Daniels has struggled being on the same page as the others so not sure what’s up with that. Rewatching the highlights though and Julian maybe had the ball for 3-5 seconds before running right into that sack by #12. I doubt Curt would want his defense to hurt Julian but before the game...

What’s everyone’s take on Julian? He is not as good this year which statistically is accurate to say. I don’t really get why? OL is the same as last year, RBs are back… I guess he doesn’t have a legit #2 but other than that I don’t get his performance this year. Could be more tape on him and...

Yeah I thought they played fine. Both sacks were on Julian too. You can’t hold the ball and had the opportunity to throw the ball away yet walked right into two sacks.

Have never been so glad to see the BYE. This team needed a break in the worst way.

I mean it depends… if Siereveld is back that’s a big boost. Fahey is mobile that’s for sure and if the OL can get healthy and protect it should look much better than today. If Fahey skips the first 4 throws though like he did today then woah boy,

I mean he did vs other teams back ups but today he literally didn’t throw one catchable ball. Literally not one… That’s an enormous issue.

You know what though? We have road wins vs Indiana and Iowa. Two top 15 teams. Fuck em.

They’re freaking legit… can we get the team healthy enough to negate Julian being out? We’ll see.

If we hadn’t lost Sayin this would feel amazing. Still is great but it’s sort of a bummer that’s for sure. As much as I slammed Julian this game, after seeing Fahey boy I’m not sure we want what’s coming. I was completely sure I wanted to see what 13 had instead of 10 but after seeing a few...

Yeah I guess those added into it as well but if you look at the numbers it wasn’t like they called OSU for 100 yards worth of penalties. My point being it wasn’t like embarrassingly bad but it wasn’t great either

It wasn’t magic like Curt suggests…. It’s really simple honestly. We stopped their run cold with 5-6 in the box (a big fuck you to IUs OL IMO) and the DL got after the QB relentlessly. If not for a bad INT by Sayin the defense nearly shuts out this team. Factor in what happened last week...
