First half thoughts:

Offense - Fields needs to get rid of the ball sooner. Also throwing high. Other than that, good shit

Defense - Ummmm...watch out for trick plays I guess? Most of IUs passes are just to their huge ass WRs. Oh and the play where Okudah and Arnette ran into each other. Other than that, great performance.

Maybe IU was just playing vanilla in the first half

I won't lie... I'm sick that the defense gave up that last score.

borland being tasked with covering a tight end gives me little hope. borland giving the tight end at least a 2-yard head start gives me no hope. borland giving the tight end a 20-yard head start makes me reach for the noose.

TD Pitt to take the lead in Happy Valley.

Tennessee = back?

Tuf chasing that TE down.

that dude hasn’t been right since popping his achilles.... he looked slow and awkward running that int back last week

Agreed. Definitely lost a step.

Hard to believe this but Pass D has been the weakness. With that many attempts need more pressure up the middle.

Pretty much. Fields has been bothered by the pressure, but for the most part, he’s played well.

I’ll bet Indiana runs that trick play or some version of it again.

It's like the dual soft serve ice cream machines. Go full vanilla then start adding that twist of chocolate after 30 game minutes.

Agreed. Definitely lost a step.

It was painful just watching how Browning was shuffling up the sideline, trying not to get too far ahead of him

(Browning couldn’t have known, but if he’d turned around and blocked the guy behind him, Tuff would’ve gained at least 20 more yards

Fields is a bit Troy his senior year at the moment. Holding the ball in the pocket for the big play when he could use his legs and get an easy 10-20.

 

[Onebuckfan]

Take a few more chances Fields we won’t always have guys wide open. Trust your arm and eyes..cut it loose.

 

[CottageAveBuckeye]

Fields is making me crazy. Will he not be satisfied unless he is hit on every play that breaks down? This kid is going to get hurt... not on a a game-winning touchdown drive, but on a broken 3rd and 15. i don't understand why Day has yet to break this tendency/mindset.
