Think as long as Mickey is part of the program next year (HC or WR coach), he's coming.

Why should the HC be a "great" offensive or defensive mind? They need to be a leader of the program which includes both the offense and defense. If we keep Mickey as HC, it's not the end of the world because he's shown he can squeeze juice from a lemon that appeared to be done for the year.

Nice first set. Felt like the last few matches or a Crawford fight, close for a little bit and then they pulled away at the end.

How is it even with the best team in the conference, that it feels like the announcers always lean towards the other team unless it’s an NET production. both challenges early in the match were clearly in NUs favor, but the announcers hemmed and hawed like it was close (2nd challenge clearly didn’t hit Kubiks hand and was a double hit by Purdue, don’t know what the refs were looking at).

Defense was there the entire night, but it felt like PSU was making mistakes over the girls dominating until the 3rd set. 3rd set was just amazing.

Thats what ive heard too. Coaching change, no matter the reason, free transfer for the first 30 days after the coach leaves.

I'm going to be frustrated during the game, but I'm going to enjoy the small things when they happen, the good plays even if we're down multiple scores. I'm at the point in my life where I don't care too get negative about things.

It's the stink of Frost and Chins. All the bad juju from last year was concentrated on Frost and Chins. Teams that beat them this year had that transferred onto them and now can't play the error free football they did against us.

It happens in every game, that's how the refs hold up play when the offense subs to give the defense the chance to make their own substitutions. Thought this was well known by now as its been happening every game for a while now.

The RB on Rutgers did a textbook target, but since it was on a guy much larger than him nothing. Launched and hit Mathis right in the chin with the crown of his helmet. Had a bad feeling that Grant would be called for targeting after his hit and the guy got knocked out.

How is it if a WR is running a route and gets nailed like this its a Targeting penalty, but an RB launches and puts his helmet right in the chin of a dlineman its a good block?

Issue with this is OSU went 10-2 the previous year and went to the Sugar Bowl and had won the Big 10 going back to 2005. If we were sitting in their position, of course going .500 wouldn't be enough to keep the interim. But we're now 5 years straight of winning no more than 5. We're on the complete opposite ends of the sliding scale.

Guys laying on Thompson and Corcoran pulls him off. They changed things recently (or not that recently) that pulling people off a pile is a 15 yard penalty. Edit: I'm wrong, Cocoron pushed him back in another one of those plays/actions that's not called at all that the refs were calling all night. Also embellished by the defender to draw the penalty.

That stats missing a line. First block returned for a td since 09. We had a couple blocked punts against Northern Illinois in 19

I’m more with Severe on this game. If last week turns out to be a corner turn and the team starts playing up to expectations, then they could get a good run of games.

Adrian, if we knew the backup would be transferring halfway through fall camp we might have gone for him (zero reporting, just wish fulfillment).

Previous years backs didn’t have the patience that Grant has so they’d run up the back ends of the oline. The oline this year has been horrendous in pass pro, but they’ve been solid with run blocking.

Joseph mentioned this I. The post game presser. They pulled Thompson because he was holding the ball too long and just not trusting what he was seeing or something to the point (play before the pull was Palmer running past his defender with no safety help. All he had to do is chuck it deep and it’s either an incomplete pass or touchdown). He explained it as TO pulling his QBs for a series to see how the d was attacking the o. Poor play calling though once Purdue got in.

Saw the comparison and I think it fits; this game felt like the Rutgers game at the end of 2020. NU was the better team in both games, but made mistakes that kept the game from becoming a blow out (main offenders being Turnovers in the Rutgers game and the oline being so bad in pass blocking against Indiana).

How often did Scott have a back to back wins in conference (to say nothing about non conference)? lets get that win in NJ to show more progress.

That was a rule being applied correctly. If the offense subs in someone late, the defense gets a chance to sub too. Indiana ran someone one late and we sent in a couple of dlinemen. You see this everytime something like this happens.

Said it was ticky tacky last night and the video above clarifies it even more. Probably under more scrutiny due to the previous Unsportsmanlike.

On the 3rd and 2 that got him pulled for the next series, Palmer was "open" in that he was behind his guy and there was no one on the opposite side of the field. Hit his back foot and launch it at that point. He just wasn't seeing things and after he got pulled he was better.

He was finishing the block and swung his hand, open, into the guys helmet to push his face into the turf. Definitely would look like a punch live, especially with the flag the previous play.
