GAME THREAD: IU 15 @ OSU 38. FINAL.
- Thread starter Radio Zero
- Start date
Sarcasm aside, bye weeks are vastly overrated. It’s rarely ever a real advantage.
I hate when these games are on fox win or lose. The announcers are extremely biased - just awful. The world famous Ohio State? How many times are they going to say that?
I guess we drop like BYU did after they lost to Kansas. Maybe end up around 11-12.
I don’t think it’s completely over. This isn’t Kansas we’re losing to today.
Maybe but that was a 3-6 team they lost to. We really needed to keep this competitive though.
So Ohio State looks like a team that could win the whole thing. Have to give them credit, sometimes when things go south the other team has something to do with it. Even without the self-inflicted wounds I think the bucknuts win this game.
I get the disappointment. I'm disappointed. It's always hard when opportunities slip away because it's never a guaranteed that you'll get another opportunity. Plus it's annoying because all the sports drones will have their 'Indiana is overrated, they haven't beaten anybody' answer queued up.
But I think we need to have some perspective here. This is one of the best 2 or 3 teams in Indiana history. They will have at least 11 wins. Even if they get snubbed by the CFB Playoff they'll still be in a very good Bowl and have a chance to win their first Bowl Game since 1991. And they have built a good foundation upon which they can build. The idea that the loss today means it's the same old Indiana after all is pretty silly.

Ohio State was lucky they caught us looking ahead to the Bucket Game.
Rourke is done.
Mind fcvkd....
Two terrible mistakes killed this team today
Bomba's procedure penalty when he lost the snap count at 3rd and one.
Of course the inexcusable killing mistake by the punter..
Special teams....
Wonder what the coaching staff spent two weeks on?
It wasn't blitz pickup..
Uh not gonna happen, IU will win, but only by 14 or so. Effects of this game will linger.
IU isn’t making the playoffs. Top 5 teams in big 10 outside of IU are Oregon, Penn St, Ohio St, Iowa, and Illinois. IU played one —only one—of them this year and got dominated.
The only real disappointment was the pass blocking, both O and D. The inability to pickup and stop their blitz or rush Howard. O line opened some holes and our rush game was acceptable but man the pass blocking was ugh-LEE I was surprised.

Well we know Iowa isn’t sniffing the playoffs either.
You have no idea what the roster will look like next year.
Next year we’ll see if this one was analogous to gold a fool might try to believe is something precious.
Ryan Day has only lost once to Michigan at home. No shame in losing there.
That’s the scary part, kind of like Painter developing high school players vs Woodson’s portal dependence.
10-1. Disappointed but not surprised . Lost as a 14 point underdog. Special teams gave up 14 quick points. The sky is not falling. Very good chance to finish 11-1. It will be a busy December in the portal.
