Looks to me if IU meets a team that can run the ball and has a good, not great d they will struggle.

NW didn’t run the ball.

If they meet a team that’s disciplined, utilizes their strengths, and stays out of their own way they’ll lose.

I do not expect to see that Indiana team discipline wise vs OSU.

If OSU stops the run, stays aggressive, and doesn’t kick field goals they’ll win.

He didn’t grab it. He let go but whatever.

I’ll say this.

We might lose vs Iowa in 2 weeks but we are going to curb stomp this IU team.

The very first chance they had vs a decent team and they’re in a fucking dog fight.

You factor in last year with what I’m seeing tonight? They’ll have no clue what their team is about because they faced no one.

Shit, they’ll be lucky to get through Nebraska

We arent losing to Iowa. That's just 2017 Iowa game flashback talking. This Iowa team ain't beating us though. I stopped worrying about them when they needed 2 late FGs to beat an Iowa State team that's a patchwork roster of lower level transfers. I really don't think the game will be very close either.

Indiana defense made Aidan Chiles look like a pretty decent passing QB. If Sayin gets any time it's going to be ugly for that D

That’s the game right?

Can this OL protect Julian? If he’s even somewhat comfortable it’s over (provided we keep playing, don’t turn the ball over, and stay disciplined)

Hoover at QB just doesn't make me fear Indiana's offense at all. He's not terrible but he doesn't have that factor that Mendoza had. Guy had been a turnover machine his whole career at TCU.It hasn't popped it's ugly head up at Indiana yet but it's coming and hopefully it's against us.

watching Clemson vs Cal and it's comical how far Clemson has fallen when it comes to talent level. The lack of overall Athleticism everywhere is glaringly visible. The QB play keeps falling further off a cliff as well. Dude they are playing now was a 3 star and the #34 QB in the composite in his class and he looks like exactly what you'd expect from that

The O line is not the issue. It's scheme right now.

I think there should be a turn as far as how this team is going to attack the rest of the season starting with Big 10 play.

There just isn't much of a concrete offensive identity right now. They seem like they want it to be one thing one moment and then another the next.

Just watching the Fox replay on YouTube, and Northwestern scored a TD with 5:10 left in the game to close the score to 22-20. That's a two-point lead for Indiana, at home against Northwestern, with just over five minutes left in the game. I know Indiana won 29-23, and I could be jumping the ball here, but I think we'll be just OK when we go into Bloomington on Oct 17th...

I think we will start seeing that now. What offensive identity does there need to be with Ball State and Kent?

They are a little more aggressive against Texas, and for 3 quarters it was the shit. Had Sayin connected on a couple of those throws, it would have been a different outcome.

I think going forward things will look different.

IU had a huge loss with their running back, Turbo Richards.

OSU should win, but it will be a battle.
