Letdown

[CC Mac]

I know a letdown is normal after a game like last week but this is ugly wow.

 

[Hoosiers Rising]

Well it is our 6th big ten game in a row and md has had 2 weeks off.

 

[ce36ei]

I had the same thought. We never play 6 league games in a row. It shows. Hard to play 3 consecutive teams off a bye which is what we’ll end up doing.

Lol,I guess I’m expecting too much.

Maryland has 12 first downs to our4. 219 yards gained to 102. This has far more to do with a letdown vs playing 6 weeks in a row.

 

[76-1]

So far..., it's been better to be lucky than good...

 

[aajohn2000]

Penix. Woof today. Yikes.

 

[IUgradman]

This is ridiculous.

I'd say it's a bit of both.

 

[ce36ei]

At some point you have to take the ball out of MP hands and see where this wildcat goes.

 

[ReallyMadMax]

Penix looking like he’s never played QB before. This is godawful.

 

[Hoosiers Rising]

At least we burned 15 seconds that time.

 

[aajohn2000]

Penix looking like he’s never played QB before. This is godawful.

He’s missing guys who are wide open. Including that third down play on the last drive. Underthrew the pass by 5 yards.

 

[Hoosiers Rising]

run the damn ball.

 

[aajohn2000]

2-13 passing so far. Last week we throw for over 500. Fryfogle zero targets today. Over 200 yards last week. Makes sense.

 

[aajohn2000]

Update. 2-15 passing. One completion was a toss up on free play and other was tipped ball that fortuitously fell in hands of IU receiver. Fugly half.

 

[ce36ei]

Disturbing game. This sounds crazy...but at what point do you let this continue with MP?

 

[VanPastorMan]

How lucky is IU to be up at the half? Terrible half of football.

 

[IUgradman]

It would help if Sheridan called some plays to get Penix in rhythm. Not every throw has to be 30 yards downfield.

 

[HoosierJimbo89]

Penix can throw for 500 yards against the Bucks, but can't do diddly today?!? I just don't get it.

 

[Rockport Zebra]

I would call that half uninspiring.

 

[82IU]

Get the ball out quick to Whop or Ty and see if we can get a big gain. They are covering our guys like a blanket on the long routes.

Absolutely...Sheridan needs to get his QB in a rhythm and you certainly don't do that with throwing deep every play.

 

[toastedbread]

run the damn ball.

We had success with the wildcat, then just abandoned it for the rest of the half? Just baffling.

 

[Chriselli]

Watch Ellis in the wildcat, he can throw.
