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.

Its striking at just how bad Frost was holding the team back and how many losses that there have been over the years because he was the head coach. Trying not to dog pile, but this game might have ended in something like 31-28 Indiana just a year ago (or even a worse score). Just too many small things that piled up during a game that prevented wins. The only two drives that Indiana was able to put together felt like something that would've snowballed earlier in the year and Indiana would've got to that 500 yard mark. Both sides of the ball made adjustments and the team prevented Indiana from starting anything by playing complimentary football (offense not giving the ball away outside of the INT at the 1, ST pinning Indiana deep, and the defense not allowing Indiana from getting out of the hole) when the offense was stuck in cement through the 3rd quarter.

Gotta go out and do it. Doesn't matter how bad he team you beat is, you still have to win it.

He's been media trained up.

Northwesterns 1-2 in the B1G right? (I erroneously blanked on their first game of the year, also just checked and its Wisconsin's that 0-2)

When'd his dad die? From experience a death like that can affect mental health for a while. Also think, hindsight being 20/20, that he should have been let go at the end of last year and the close losses to the "big" names just covered up the fact that he still lost every other close game (I'm one of those who was fooled by the losses and thought he'd turn things around this year).

After a quick check, age. DeBoer is 10 years younger than Leipold.

Aranda Liepold Campbell In that order.

Not the best competition, but you still gotta do it.

Extremely frustrating to watch at times, especially in the third where we went up 5-0 and then didn't start back up until it was something like 18-11. Glad they rallied back and made the clutch plays in the 5th set to get the dub.

As been mentioned elsewhere, that's an interesting total for the signing bonus.

Mike Riley was also trending down by the time he left Oregon State. Liepold won 6 DIII national championships, fastest in NCAA history to 100 wins regardless of level. Immediately improved Buffalo, who's trending down since he left, and has immediately improved the worst P5 program since he's stepped on their campus.

Said it back in 2017 if Frost fell through to go get Lance, who had just got to Buffalo or something like that.

Wasn't happy with Purdy's decision making throwing the ball today. Only surprised by his athleticism.

Lance and Matt are the first names for me. Going back to a conversation earlier in the thread. We all know UM's a good football mind and that he would probably be successful, but he's a garbage human being who's probably leaving after 2 years when the success doesn't reach the level he expects and we're stuck in another coaching search.
