They were good today but this was squarely on the IU OL. IU will see at leats two better defenses in the division.Methinks you just ran into a pretty damned good defense today. I'll bet it's the toughest one Indiana will face all year.
I’m afraid that is correct in terms of the OLine. It appears we are about MAC level and no ability to run the ball.IU players aren’t that good.
This season is not over by a long ways. We can still have a very good season. But...
I'd hate to be whomever has to clean up the humongous turd we left on Duke Slater Field.
Lol at the Buckeye liking the post. OSU has NO defense.They were good today but this was squarely on the IU OL. IU will see at leats two better defenses in the division.
Penix was under pressure all day. No protection.I gave the O-line a pass last year for covid, but they looked brutal today, and this is an inexperienced Iowa defensive front. Penix played rattled the entire game and for good reason, the play calling was bad, but it wasn't so bad that we should have been held to six points, that can be put squarely on the O-line. I would not blame CTA for the loss, though he will need to be willing to clean house on offense(outside of McCullough and maybe Heard) if this offense doesn't take major steps forward by the end of the year.
Probably had worse rated players with Wilson and we gashed everyone. I’d say the boys aren’t getting coached up.I’m afraid that is correct in terms of the OLine. It appears we are about MAC level and no ability to run the ball.
We need us some of that old Mallory "lockjaw" mindset.Probably had worse rated players with Wilson and we gashed everyone. I’d say the boys aren’t getting coached up.
IU had only a passing attack. The qb is unable to tuck the ball and run. Protecting the injury. He also throws off the back foot because of the injury. That causes high throws, Unless all of this is corrected it will be a long season. Just this old man's opinion,Certainly seems like an undisciplined bunch. Flashbacks of Bill Lynch going on.
We’ll see what Tom Allen and these coaches are made of.
IU has big problem that don’t just resolve in a few games. The defense has dropped off as well. Handy and Anderson are the two guys that have at least some ability up front. The rest is non-existent. IU had blown coverages and there are some bad, bad omens from this debacle.IU had only a passing attack. The qb is unable to tuck the ball and run. Protecting the injury.

We’ve been leaving at halftime for decades. It’s our birthrightCincinnati will destroy IU. The IU fans will be gone by halftime.
I probably hold the record for 2nd quarter exits.We’ve been leaving at halftime for decades. It’s our birthright
Why are you even on this board? You clearly aren't a real fan. All you ever have to say is hyperbolic, negative bullsh*t.Cincinnati will destroy IU. The IU fans will be gone by halftime.
Bro, come on…. Cincinnati will not destroy IU. That’s garbage, your emotions are speaking, you’re overreacting.Cincinnati will destroy IU. The IU fans will be gone by halftime.
Penix was not under pressure. He held the ball too long and then panicked and threw the ball off of his back foot. Watching Mike Penix throw a football is like watching someone getting chased by hornets...flailing his arm while running away. If he can't set his feet and make a throw, we're going to have to limit the QB mistakes with Tuttle and play like we did at Wisconsin and try to win every game 14-6.Penix was under pressure all day. No protection.
I don't know what game you watched if you think Penix wasn't under pressure. Was he on every mistake? No, but a clean pocket was an absolute rarity.Penix was not under pressure.

The offense has saved the defense so many times over the years, but now it just needs to not give the game away and let the d do its thing.
I suspect OSU might beg to differ.Methinks you just ran into a pretty damned good defense today. I'll bet it's the toughest one Indiana will face all year.
It is normally too much to ask that IU be good on offense and defense.Probably had worse rated players with Wilson and we gashed everyone. I’d say the boys aren’t getting coached up.
You are way overreacting to this game, Penix definitely does have some form issues. But to say he wasn't under pressure is just so ignorant. It is true that toward the end of the game Penix was not under pressure as much and just started panicking, but that's because the entire first half he had 2 seconds to get the ball out, college QB's simply don't play as well once they've thrown three picks. He definitely did not hold the ball too long either.Penix was not under pressure. He held the ball too long and then panicked and threw the ball off of his back foot.

lolYou're high. There aren't two better defenses in the conference than you were shut down by today.
I was there, we imposed our will on your offense. Penix is OK against a marginal defense, you watched what happens when your coaches get in a chess match when they're playing checkers.

I agree with you 100%. The first couple of series were terrible as we did not handle there stunts at all and had guys with free runs at Penix. We did adjust and gave Penix adequate time. He just doesn’t see the field as well as people think he does. He does a great job of getting the ball out on bubbles and tunnel screens or even some timing routes. But you are right when throwing down field he just doesn’t get rid of it. When he does throw it seems like it is to a covered guy when others seem to be open. We still held Goodson under a 100 yards with 56 yarder. So that was a plus. The secondary was good not great. Pass rush still a question mark. Created two takeaways against a team that does not give the ball away.Penix was not under pressure. He held the ball too long and then panicked and threw the ball off of his back foot.

Petras was held to 145 yards on a 48% completion percentage with a 5.4 yards per attempt average, both scarcely better than what Penix managed, and no touchdowns. Other than the interceptions (a big exception, granted), our secondary made Petras look just as bad as theirs made Michael look.

As far the run game Carr had some room early but Iowa made adjustments and shut down the outside. I don’t why we did not try going more downhill. It seems like we went from one extreme to the another where we never run outside to now we never run inside. Also not sure why Baldwin never got touched till late in the game does he turn the ball over in practice?
We faced a really good secondary today.. Which we knew they were. Iowa got off to a great start and we never recovered. I am not giving up on the season after one game.
I thought the defense played very well save the 56 yard touchdown in which we were outflanked and then Reese Taylor gambled and lost and came inside the wing and gave up containment and the end or outside backer was outflanked and also gave up containment.
Petras didn't have two pick sixes. He is patient enough to watch things develop, Penix was nervous all day. He is not the player you think he is, but still can become.Petras was held to 145 yards on a 48% completion percentage with a 5.4 yards per attempt average, both scarcely better than what Penix managed, and no touchdowns.

The first pick six by Penix was a catchable pass for our receiver but the receiver slightly slipped while the ball was already on its way. That little slip likely changed that pass from a catch for a short gain to a tipped pass that went for six in the opposite direction. I didn’t see the second pick six so I’d have to look. From what I saw of the game, it was probably a pass that was too high and got tipped right to a defender.Petras didn't have two pick sixes.
