Irishman Posted November 19, 2022 Author Share Posted November 19, 2022 Nice win...overcoming a horrible first half. Williams looked really good at QB. Now to knock Purdue out of the hunt for the West division 🙂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Footballking16 Posted November 19, 2022 Share Posted November 19, 2022 Couple silver linings today. 1. IU found its QB for the future. Williams as a true dual-threat QB masks a bad offensive line and adds another dimension to the offense. Not caught up in the throwing numbers like some. Truth be told IU didn’t need to throw the ball to win today and Williams has enough zip on his ball to where I believe he’ll be a threat starting next year after getting a full years worth of reps with the starters in the offseason. 2. True freshman Jaylin Lucas likely just cemented his honors on the All-American team as a KR this afternoon. Leads all FBS in kickoff return average and now has taken two back to the house. Fellow true freshman Dasan McCullough should make the freshman All-American as well. Hope IU can keep those two around. 3. Resiliency. Can tell they’re still fighting for Allen. A coach who has lost the locker room wouldn’t have a team come back from that half time deficit. Still been an extremely frustrating year as there have been 2-3 games that could have resulted in wins, but you’d have to think a win over Purdue would be a huge boost of confidence heading into the offseason. While a bowl game is always the ultimate goal, I’d have to say going 5-7 given the way last year played out is a step in the right direction.

Maybe...I just don't think the recipe for a Power 5 QB is to go 2 for 7 passing in a game will lead to much success. I hope he proves he can actually pass the football. If not for special teams and for a found running game, they don't win that game yesterday against a mediocre team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That fact that IU only threw 7 passes…..and won, rectifies that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could you imagine if they actually won a BIG GAME? His buyout would not be an issue because he’d probably collapse right there at the 50.

SenatorFan Posted November 23, 2022 Share Posted November 23, 2022 Sure glad IU had no need for a Indiana High School Star by the name of Carson Steele. Probably too small to play Division 1 football. That’s all I’m gonna say… 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ragdoll Posted November 25, 2022 Share Posted November 25, 2022 Is IU the culture still basketball first and everything else doesn't matter much? Seems to me to be really back that way strongly from talking to fans. Expectations for football? Corso coaches 10 years with only two winning seasons and probably held on so long with those some Old Oaken bucket wins and it was football. How many in power at IU really cared. Anything changed? I recall when Cameron (a well thought of NFL OC) was at IU, how you would see him at the big games with the marquee recruits and you knew he was never going to be able to get them.

Irishman Posted November 26, 2022 Author Share Posted November 26, 2022 Decent first half. Should have had more points on the board. HATED seeing William go dow. That did not look good at all. With Bazelak, they could still move the ball, but way too inconsistent. I am not sure IU can afford to not change anything for next season.

They played Ohio State close for a half, remember? August 2020: "Indiana is the biggest threat to Ohio State in the Big Ten East." Since that claim by many media members, the Hoosiers have gone 2-16 in Big Ten play. Edited November 29, 2022 by temptation 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
