GAME THREAD: IU 15 @ OSU 38. FINAL.

A Bomba penalty and Evans inability to deal with a little rain was the difference in that half.
 
Come on, catch the ball and then punt it.
What else could you possibly have on your mind?
Catch it then kick it.
 
Why was the idiot not wearing gloves? It’s raining for Pete’s sake!

I’m with the above. That free TD probably lost the game. The margin was RAZOR thin as it was.
 
Most important drive in IU football history coming up after half. We needed to play mistake free - we are not. I’m not sure what we can do. They are fast and over powering our O-line. We need to score on a quick slant. If we can score immediately we can keep it close and stay in cfp hunt - if we are three and out, well it was a good run and I’ll be six feet under before something like this ever happens again.

He is reacting to the momentum of the game which OSu has it dominantly right now, but we looked like the clearly better team for most of the first quarter. We will keep fighting.
 
I can stomach losing to OSU but I can’t tolerate just handing them the game like this. Need to get their heads out of their asses.
 
What a shame to have such a huge mistake at such a critical moment. Still a lot of football to be played.

Indiana needs to find a way to pick up those pressures / get the ball out quickly when they come or they are going to lose.

The Hoosiers are probably going to need another turnover or a big special teams play now.

I feel like this staff has made strong adjustments all year at half time, coming out with a score or at least a FG will go a long way towards righting the ship.

They had to be +2 or so to win. -1 as it stands. Its going to take some really weird things to pull the W.
 
Gave them a free TD.

Our running game and short pass game looks good. Need to stick with what's working, make them adjust, then push the ball down field.


Their blitzes were almost all from the outside and were all telegraphed. You gotta think the right adjustments can be made.

A lot of you sure seem daunted.

We're down 7 to a team that has a chance to win the national championship, at their house.

We're still in this game.
 
Not an awful half overall. Showed some stretches where we were better than them. Some where they were better than us.

Hope Evan’s mistake doesn’t end up being the difference. One thing to think about though…it’s not a given we would have stopped them on that drive anyways.

First couple 2nd half drives for both teams are huge. Let’s go boys. Get some points. Get some stops. Day and Howard will **** it up if we stay close enough.
 
We still have a chance but they are clearly the better team. Tried to tell people to keep reasonable expectations. We haven't played anyone until today. It reminds me a lot of COVId hoax season that gave Allen that ludicrous buyout where we didn't beat one team that finished in the top 25 all season.
 
I can handle losing to Ohio State if Ohio State is better. But losing because of dumb / avoidable mistakes, that's what hacks me off :mad:

Indiana better dial in or they are going to get blown out and miss the CFB Playoff.
We are going to miss it sorry but they will blow us out unless we find a way to score.
 
Complete breakdown in every phase of the game. After a huge contract... back to reality for IU football. The mistakes are what killed this team, not superior talent.

It is a testament to Cig. It took everything a team full of 4-5 star players had (and a couple big mistakes from us) to be up 14-7.
