Week 11: #2 Indiana at Penn State (Noon, FOX) Game Thread

[IANit]

Now we can't get to him.

 

[IANit]

Time for a turnover.

Time for a turnover.

Our DC works for OSU

 

[IANit]

Impossible catch.

 

[IANit]

Still 36 seconds left.

Knowles does it again. Prevent defense to give the game away. He cannot hold a lead at game end

 

[IANit]

That may have helped us. Only about 30 yards to field goal position.

 

[IANit]

Time for a walk-off long TD pass.

 

[Frank Lee]

No heroes yet again. The program's culture has been decimated by an insecure narcissist pretender. The next coach needs to be a confident football guy who hates to lose

 

[IANit]

We didn't lose that game as much as Indiana won it. They made some fantastic plays.

 

[marylovesthelions]

The prevent defense only prevents you from winning

 

[IANit]

That's coaching - their receivers just were unbelievable at control near the sideline/endline.

 

[IANit]

I knew when Zane danced after the sack that we were probably going to give up a big play soon. That's the Franklin effect.

There are no moral victories at this point

 

[Nemo]

Proud of how hard they played but that should have been a win

 

[The Spin Meister]

I don’t think I ever saw a game with so many crazy tough catches. Their receiver caught everything within 15 yards of them.

Don't forget the prevent offense. PSU could have closed that game out with one more first down. IU had all 11 guys within 5 yards of the LOS. A pop pass over the middle would have ended it but we ran, punted, and gave Indy a chance with 2 minutes remaining.

 

[Frank Lee]

Sometimes, you just need to grab wins. Those 4th quarter give away losses to OSU about 8-9 years ago helped shape the passive 4th quarter culture of today.

 

[Frank Lee]

The coaches don't know the details that they need to teach. Maybe it is a generation thing.

I still thought we'd hold them out of the end zone. We had a ton of pressure on Mendoza on that last play. He was lucky to get it off. Then the receiver just made an incredible play. I thought he was out of bounds. His foot was in by maybe an inch, if that. And the tight end made an amazing catch while falling back before that, even with good coverage. Those were championship-level plays. The big play before that that got them into our territory is more problematic.
