I concur, UNLESS say, JUST FOR EXAMPLE PURPOSES......I am officiating a game between 2 less than capable passing teams, that think they are Air Coryell. Then that game takes FOREVER!

I can provide details if you are interested. Well many many years ago Bill Mallory assembled a group of assistants after he left Ohio state. Where he was an assistant. The offensive coordinator for Bill was George Belu. He also came from Ohio state. Thru all the years from Miami , Colorado ,northern Illinois and Indiana, Belu stayed with Bill Mallory. Before Mallory accepted the IU job, he said that this was to be his last coaching job. Bill had several loyal assistants but none as loyal as George. He had several opportunities to jump ship and lead his own program but stayed with All of Bills jobs. Indianas success in the Mallory years did not satisfy the higher ups at Indiana, third or fourth in the conference was not the Rose Bowl. And their reasoning was that IU’s offense didn’t score enough points,10,13, and 16 points a game , although winning games, was not going to get the team to the Rose Bowl. They Liked Bill and wanted to renew his contract on the stipulation that he replace George Belu. Run off right tackle, then run off left tackle then punt George as the saying goes. Or 4 yards and a cloud of dust, offense had to go. I think everyone knows what happened, Bill Mallory’s loyalty to George caused his contract not to be extended.

Guest DT Posted November 29, 2020 Share Posted November 29, 2020 Hoosiers rushed for 230 yards today in the win over Maryland JR Tim Baldwin had 106 yards on 16 carries. Who is Tim Baldwin? Penix injured? Scott scores 3 times from the Wildcat. Different look today for Indiana, but a big W. What does this do for Sampson James? Is he demoted? Anybody get a good look at Tuttle?

Guest DT Posted November 30, 2020 Share Posted November 30, 2020 (edited) Sorry to lose Penix, but not at all surprised. Looking forward to seeing Jack Tuttle play. Also expect to see IU pivot to much more of a running game heading down the stretch. Weve got 3 quality backs. use them all and grind out 250 to 300 yards a game. Tuttle has NFL size 6-4 215. Should be very interesting to watch. This is the second major injury to the same knee for Penix. he may be done, at least in Bloomington. We have Donaven McCulley coming next year, a more durable version of Penix https://www.indystar.com/story/sports/college/indiana/2020/11/30/iu-football-5-things-know-qb-jack-tuttle/6464893002/ Edited November 30, 2020 by DT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
southend Posted November 30, 2020 Share Posted November 30, 2020 Indeed and well said, this guy is snake bit, with the injury bug. W oW. The OBVIOUS here is Indiana will have to try to run the ball at a higher rate than they have been. To ease our new guy into the offense. Hopefully they have some success with that. If not, maybe Mr. Tuttle can be an extension of what got us this far , with our passing game. I guess next weekend we will get to see the new sheriff in town operate.

They the coaches are going to their strengths, which is a dynamic receiving crew ,a pretty good QB, although this is yet to be seen now with the injury,and a very stout defensive secondary.

The run game has been a key in every other game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The post game interview on ABC was so much fun to watch. It summed up how the players feel about their coach! Tuttle was good enough to keep the line moving but he may be instructed to not run anymore! Keep the bucket, then the crossover game.

Irishman Posted December 6, 2020 Author Share Posted December 6, 2020 Tuttle's accuracy was impressive. He does need to run much less, or at least get down before contact. I thought it was bad call when the targeting was overturned though. I listened to the former official in the booth. Bottom line is a blow to the head is a blow to the head. Defense had me worried. I thought they blitzed too many too often. It created run lanes for huge gains; including the qb escaping the pocket. But, they made critical plays when needed. It was a good win on the road. Anyone seeing just how likely it is getting to be that IU and ND match up in a bowl game? Assuming that Clemson beats ND in the rematch.
