Some lax defense today and offensive miscues. No team is perfect I know and overall IU played better than than anytime during the last few years but still didn't like the ease of some of the scores Maryland made.
No panic but................

Do what? The defense bailed us out of 4 turnovers. They chopped on the QB all day.
28 pts? Too many for me. Especially the last score.
A garbage minutes score and a goofy tip drill that managed to result in a score.
So really MD only had 14 legitimate points IMO.

Haha You do realize we gave MD 4 more possessions than us, right? The problem is any defense wears down over time so them holding MD after all those turnovers was amazing.
Do you actually watch football? Name another team that overcame 4 turnovers to dominate. Our D was legit today. The offense was unstoppable.
This team is good. They should hammer Northwestern next Saturday to achieve bowl eligibility at 6-0.
They're not perfect but thumping a decent MD team while committing 4 turnovers speaks to the quality of this team.

The turnovers kept our D on the field way too much. They did a pretty damn good job.
That defense retired a bunch of Maryland players today.
Maryland made some nice plays. Found some open guys. But the defense came up with plenty of key covers. And the pass rush, very nice! Run defense, solid. Same as it ever was so far this year.
I thought the D was suspect at times but they appear to have a decent foundation to build upon...
I know Maryland has recruited well over the past 4 years so those were some quality athletes we were up against...
Plenty of coaching points to work on next week...
I said what I said and it was somewhat echoed by the coach in his after game comments. Good, not great and stuff to work on. Like the title of the thread, No panic but....... Oh and to the few that decided to get a bit personal, yea I do watch football. Today was solid but 28 points is too many. Maryland should have been shown the door early.
It still feels to me we're not undersized, but not big, in the defensive backfield without high end speed. If someone gets a step on us they keep it and make the catch. Safeties maybe not elite wheels to get over.
But then again, despite that frustrating 'feel', I saw a lot of well defensed balls. So was happy. B1G ten level competition. Did well.
My preseason fear we'd get it run down our throat has not come to pass. The D-line is clearly better than I expected. Which is very cool. Maybe depth, but if that defense stays healthy, they can play.
