Indiana is going to win a lot of games this year.

JT was way off throwing the ball. Not sure if it was the wind or just an off day. But guys were open and he missed a couple sure TD's. And even on the
short throws he was off. This will be great for the Wisky game. JT will be ready.
Interesting that Samuel played RB most of the game.
JT, Samuel and Webber did a good job running the ball. JT had around 100 yds.
The OL played well but also made a number of mistakes in Pass Pro.
Defense really won us this game. They gave our Offense a short field. And stuffed a couple of series when Indiana had it goal to go. Defense is MVP.
The D did a great job stuffing Indiana's running game. Still no rushing TD given up all season.
The DL is just getting better and better. They really pose a lot of problems to OLines. So much speed, strength and quickness. AND DEPTH!!
Special teams kick return defense is still suspect. I hold my breath every time they take the field.
Campbell is a really good kick returner. He'll only get better.
Durbin needs to quick kicking the ball out of bounds.

GO BUCKS!

Good win. IU will get 7-9 wins this year and be a tough matchup in a bowl game.

Biggest priority going forward is to find some consistency in the passing game. OSU has three great running options in JT, Samuel, and Weber, but needs to have a mid range passing game to move the ball against good defenses. Really need to work on some short, easy throws in the 1st Q to get JT comfortable. It seems like until JT gets into a rhythm he holds onto the ball way too long. Also, it'd be an easy way to get Samuel more touches. I want to see him catch 3-4 short passes a game.

Defense played well, getting a lot of TFLs and put some pressure on the QB. They'll struggle at times with the run, but there wasn't much to be frustrated with in this game. Baker played a hell of a game and am glad to see him killing it.

Agree 1000% just give JT time to settle in and give him a few slants and screens etc. Get him going and then you cut him lose for a few deep shots.

I like the aggressive calls but if they aren't completes then we get behind the sticks and JT has to then hold the ball longer or has to press a bit.

Besides we have no turned the ball over 3 times on the opening drive out of 5 games. Need better play calling and QB play next week though if we want to walk away with another win.
