Re: (12:46 - 4th) 4th and 1 at IU 38
#10 J. Sayin pass complete deep middle to #4 J. Smith caught in the end zone for a TOUCHDOWN



Just sayin': That sure was a gutsy call.......

It was the stuff that playground legends are made from

That play wasn't called for JS, he's just the easy cheat code when all else fails.

I expected to have some kind of answer about him after this game, and all we're left with is wondering what the fuck is wrong with OLine under Ryan Day. Not a good game by the OC, not a bad game. Very frustrating.

Felt like Smith called a decent game. Julian just missed so many throws.

Loved the script on the opening drive. Only three points, but I was glad to see us come out creatively aggressive.

Seemed like they went back to it initially at the start of the 2nd.

Yep then went away from it again not that the offense was really stopped in the 2nd half till the sack Sayin got hurt on.

Well, I liked the RB toss. Nice to get some variety with the run game.

Script all 4 quarters please. When he starts thinking we no look too good

I'm no expert, but I believe coaches' powers only dictate opening drive and middle 8. The rest of the game has too many variables, such as injuries, penalties, which way the ball bounces, etc.

Judging from the opening drives and middle 8, I think Arthur Smith did an excellent job so far, way above average. I don't have time to look for the stats today and would greatly appreciate if somebody else does.

Yeah, OL looked fine against Texas which has a comparable DL and then it against IU it’s a televised horse abortion.

I think I’m more baffled than frustrated but the frustration is definitely there. Every fucking drop back — the moment you know it’s a pass I clench and I go “oh god here we go, is he gonna get drilled or is he gonna sail it and throw to a safety?”

Loved the first drive until the obligatory red zone sputter., beyond that I didn’t really think anything one way or the other except the run was solid and Bo Jackson showed really nice patience on a couple runs.

It doesn't help that Julian holds onto the ball when it needs to be thrown away.
