Beautiful pass by Tuttle!

I like IU's reaction. They get a safety and then score a touchdown, and go for two. They put pressure on Maryland and I was thinking there might be an opportunity for an interception and we were fortunate to get one.
Good thing he's talented. Throws a nice ball.
Penix couldn't hit a tackling dummy today. What's up with that?
Yea, his accuracy today was terrible. Personally thought the whole offense looked slow and uninterested the first half. Went to get some lunch so I missed the second half but got home just in time to see the defense give up the hail mary and 2 point conversion. Still haven't learned to put the foot on the throat.

I think he was playing on two bad ankles... Just my guess... I've had 14 of them, I'm somewhat of an expert of the subject...😉😖😷
Hoping that Penix can play next week. Glad Tuttle got a few snaps and, potentially, a week to get a ton of reps in the event Penix cannot play.
The coaching staff is going to have to make teams respect the pass if Tuttle is QB. IU was able to get away with a run heavy offense because Maryland is terrible against the run and the defense was playing lights out. It won’t necessarily be that way against the next three opponents.

Yes, but a turtle doesn't move well at all! He would not be able to avoid a rush.
Not sure you or anyone can say that definitively yet. And while he likely does not have Penix throw variety (ie sidearm if needed) or maybe not as fast or elusive, something tells me his pure passing mechanics and arm strength are on par. He looks like he’s got a gun for an arm too, and he seems ready to try and make a name for himself. I want Penix healthy, but few pretty ok that Tuttle will not flounder if he has to go.
My thinking was that since the game was in hand, don't give future opponents anything on Tuttle to prepare for.
I notice you didn't see my response, which was intended to be a humorous answer to BRCB calling him turtle instead of Tuttle. My fault for formerly being a proof reader.
Watch his high school highlights. Besides not like Penix has been a huge scrambler.
Again, I was just responding to a poster calling him "Turtle" instead of Tuttle. I was not denigrating Tuttle in the least bit.
Rumors on campus are that Penix tore his other acl. That was my initial thought when it happened. You could hear a scream, then he instantly grabbed his knee and after that slammed his helmet in frustration. Likely because he had felt it before and knew exactly what happened. Just feel incredibly bad for the kid if true.
It did have a "landed funky on the track" kind of feel to him, but I'm going to wait until we have a confirmed announcement as he seemed to be able to put some weight on it and I could see it be a sprained ankle too. Hoping for the best.
That was my first thought as well and I backed off of it later. Hope it something far less serious.
Terrible shame the kid cannot stay on the field. Achilles recovery time? A year? And then less mobile than before?
