Rourke Out

[mrhighlife]

I know We have a small sample size with Jackson this Year, but Here is what I am seeing. Yesterday was the first time i really saw Him throw the ball. He wasn't aiming it to avoid incompletions. The ball was coming out of his hands quickly with good spin and spiral, and He was hitting his receivers in stride. Compared to earlier in the year when We saw Him, he looks more confident running the Offense. compared to last Year, He looks like He now realizes that the Whole offense doesn't depend on Him. He is surrounded by good skill Players and count on Them to carry part of the load. He just has to get the ball to Them in the right circumstances and let Them make the plays. Finally, I saw good understanding and field maturity from Him on one play. On one of his running plays He took what He could and slid down before a defender could make contact. You could almost see the wheels spinning as He was thinking , We are already down one QB, and I am the one left. Don't be stupid and risk unnecessary injury and contact in the 4th Quarter of a game when You are up by 50 points,

Hopefully Coach sits him down and tells him to just do his job. Don't think "it's all up to me now". Don't try and be Rourke. Just do your job and you will be THE Tayven Jackson.

The defense and running game have to be elite to win. IU isn’t putting up 50 ppg under Tayven.

Not sure if they need to be elite to win, but continue to be strong. No reason TJ can't put up 28+ on UW.

28? From what I witnessed yesterday, I'll be disappointed if this offense can't hang 40 on Washington.

I'm no expert but I'm starting to wonder if Cignetti doesn't have a plug n play offense?? It just seems masterful.

Coach Cig and this staff are gonna have to make me a believer all over again now. Should be interesting and I bet a part of him probably relishes the challenge…

Who is QB3?

Was wondering the same thing, and a half-assed look around this site didn’t find a depth chart. Haven’t search the web yet, so if anyone knows, Mortal and I would appreciate it.

It’s either Cherry or Mendoza- both true freshmen.

2024 Position Preview: For the First Time in Five Seasons IU Has Quarterback Depth and Experience — Hoosier Huddle

Written by Sammy Jacobs (Hoosier_Huddle) The Indiana Hoosiers have not had this type of depth and experience in their quarterback room since 2019 when IU had both Michael Penix and Peyton Ramsey. That year the Hoosiers went 8-5 (5-4). In 2020 with Penix and Jack Tuttle the Hoosiers went 6-2. After

Right now we have the 2 freshmen Mendoza and Cherry behind Jackson. Not sure who is first but earlier in the year Mendoza came in before Cherry.

The 2014 offense was horrible under Diamont. Tevin Coleman did all the heavy lifting.

With a broken foot.

Looked like Mendoza was getting loose when Jackson was in the game.

Yes but he was getting loose with Cherry. They were right in front of us.

Oh, I missed that. I guess it’s still a mystery!

As a 4 decade IUFB fan I'll expect the he worst until otherwise notified.

Being an IU fball fan for that long is telling me you drink without telling me you drink.

I ripped my thumbnail completely off in a table hinge when I was a kid! Took atleast a month for it to start growing fully back! As long as theres no nerve damage in the finger, Roarke should be fine! I don’t think he would even need to wear any tape or a bandage over it in a game. Hope he is back against MSU!

There is enough supporting cast now with this team to absorb this. We may not put up 50 but unless the defense absolutely craters, he just needs to manage the game.

They have a system. Yes, Rourke has been masterful but this is more about the system than it is about the pieces. If you haven’t seen the system by now and think it’s just Rourke doing it all on his own, I don’t know what to tell you.
