Yeah. I’m disappointed that it took this long. It seemed clear to me in spring that he’d be the guy. I didn’t see it at the time, but he reminds me so much of Ramsey in being able to extend plays and just make stuff happen. A “football player.”
Basically, everyone who said anything wanted Tayven after the first two games. The fact that the fans were divided before the season, and continued to question every QB move made, shows that they WERE close.
As long as Sorsby isn't hurt too bad, I look for him to play well moving forward. He played his butt off today in a mad house.
Jackson was a 4 star and local boy. I'm sure Allen offered him the moon to transfer.
if by “no problem” you mean needing a fumble on 1st & goal from the 2 halfway through the 4th Quarter to stop IU from scoring the go-ahead TD.
Wisconsin will likely be without Braelon Allen next week.
So you’re saying (with a silly grin the moment you come in) chances are our chances are awfully good or more conservatively, we simply have a chance, albeit one of outside chance of higher trepidation?
Of course. He threw three TD passes against Penn State on their field. And one was a 90-yard bomb. The interception against the grain hurt, but that doesn't cancel what he did.
After centuries of having to settle for "moral victories," I'm all for them now. If anything, Saturday showed we have decent personnel. Maybe that will silence some of that "We don't belong in the Big Ten" talk. Now we can be a spoiler.
Why not? Penn State is better than anybody remaining on our schedule. Next I would like to run on first and second downs instead of throwing on first downs, then running on 2nd and 10. I think we also should start covering punt and kickoff returns. If we do this, we could go on a run.
One failed spoiler attempt does not necessarily a spoiler make, going forward. Let’s wait and see if we finish strong with what remains, the easier part of our schedule.
The 2nd and 9 run just prior to kicking the game tying FG was chicken sh!t. I've harped on it before but where in the world are the tight ends in this offense?
Our best tight end, by a wide, wide margin, plays for Michigan. We are not a very talented team relative to others in the Big Ten, and the TE position group is modest, to be kind.
If he started Jackson because of his brother, he should be fired for that alone.
If so, that would be an example of total incompetence. You play the players that give your team the best chance to win. No matter who their brother is.
This is like the posters who said Allen kept Hiller because their wives are friends. The wait times for Wisconsin bathrooms are now over an hour, and that’s IF you have a friend who works in the campus bratwurst research building.
I think it was you. Or Ordfan (same thing) who mentioned that facts matter, yet you decide to spew some embellished bullshit because those facts contradict how you like portraying IU as the only school with issues related to fan experience. GFY buddy.
No, I openly laughed at those incredibly ignorant claims, as anyone should’ve (even someone like you).Facts matter, which is why you’re having such a tough time here.
The whole “facts matter” act blew up in his face big time.
Not in the least, and it’s why you’ve been chasing me around for the better part of a year (after I busted you for getting way far away from the facts). Several posters made that ridiculous assertion, and I laughed at them then as I would now. You don’t belong here.
Yep and, as usual, I got the facts right. Of course, you’re welcome to try and show where I didn’t, but you can’t. Lol.
I thought they played well v. OSU.
Mike Phipps Columbus and Bob Griese Evansville both Boilers and à few years past your in the last 50 years statement LOL
or... is Carey auditioning for the top job? Only at IU could this unfold... show Tom the door, elevate Carey at a bargain price... save money on the new HC and tell alumni "see, we listened".
Yes to Griese and Phipps but that is now almost 60 years ago. I don't think we are missing anyone else. So why is Indiana high school football void of good qbs?
Jay Cutler, Jeff George, Joey Elliott and Curtis Painter were pretty successful at least at the college level. Matt Mauck won a national championship with LSU in the 2000s (he was not the star of that team though).
Mark Herman and our own Dave Shnell. Blair Keil was pretty good too. I don't think where you come from has much if anything to do with it. If you can play you can play.
