Daily Indiana QB Report - Backup to Nate Sudfeld Also Out for Game
Well it was reported Monday that Nate Sudfeld was out for the year with a shoulde separation. In normal circumstances you have an experienced backup but Sudfeld's 2 backup QBs from last year both transferred out of Indiana. So Kevin Wilson was turning to a converted freshman linebacker who went 4-11 for something like 41 yards last week. Apparently THAT guy is not going to play either... so Indiana is most likely going to rip a redshirt off a true freshman Zander Diamont. He is listed as 3rd string. Guy weighs 175 lbs. Pray for him.
Once he gets injured vs MSU their 4th string is a redshirt sophomore.
No idea why Covington is out at this moment or if its long term or short term.

Time to send some assistant coaches to scout the IM teams.

In baseball, their utilitiy infielder would have come in to pitch 4 innings ago. Woof.
October 15th, 2014 at 7:01 PM ^
since two QBs transfered. I hope they move somebody who can throw the ball to QB so they have a backup. It may get ugly this week.
October 15th, 2014 at 7:08 PM ^
we can beat them?
and edit: hope they all are healing up. Injuries are the worst!
October 15th, 2014 at 7:21 PM ^
Yes we can!
This would be equivalent of sending out a 175 lb version of Wilton Speight Saturday with Brian Cleary backing him up. After Russ Bellomy was declared not able to play today.
So there's a chance!
(175 lbs is right around where Drake Harris weighs - so imagine 300 lb NTs, 250 lb DEs and 235 lb LBs double A gap blitzing all day vs Drake Harris).

Let's lend them Bellomy....

If Indiana somehow wins that game, we need to hire Kevin Wilson sometime in the next 10 days.
October 16th, 2014 at 10:49 AM ^
If Kevin Wilson finds a way to win this game, we need to hunt him down because that guy's a witch. There would be no other explanation.

That redshirt sophomore must be awful if they'd rather subject a 175 lb true freshman to MSU's defense in his first start.
October 15th, 2014 at 7:53 PM ^
The RS SO is a walk on.
October 15th, 2014 at 7:35 PM ^
Too damn late
October 15th, 2014 at 7:32 PM ^
LET'S WIN OUT!

A little more info on Xander Diamont.
He's a true freshman from California whom 247 says had no offers other than Indiana. Their composite ranking had him at #2004 and he was the #92 pro-style QB in his class. Here are the schools where the pro-style QBs ranked nearest him (above and below) committed: Florida International, Arkansas State, North Texas, Missouri State, UMass, and Abeline Christian. And I mentioned that he's a true freshman.
Good luck, son.

It's says a lot about your 3rd string when your backup is a converted linebacker. I think his college football debut will be a forgettable one.

Best week ever? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5t_9HTqRDDg … MT @MSUDanK Zander Diamont's mom, Cindy Ambuehl, played Seinfeld's GF in episode w/ tractor story.

Didn't she have a recurring role for a few seasons on JAG too? The name is familiar and I admit to watching the series when it was on. I think she played Rabb's girlfriend for a few seasons but I could be wrong there.

Could you imagine a worse situation for a team that's on the cusp of becoming a bowl team? I mean, Sudfeld is a really good QB for that system and puts up nice numbers, then he goes down. One guy transferred because he was third string only to see the second string leave the team too. Now the 4th string is out. Man. That's called tough breaks.
October 15th, 2014 at 8:49 PM ^
I'm wincing just thinking about it.

Hanging out with Todd Marinovich under the Manhattan Beach pier doing illegal things.
October 15th, 2014 at 9:46 PM ^
Thank you sir!
October 15th, 2014 at 9:16 PM ^
transferred to an FCS school when Sudfield beat him for the starting spot. Too bad, because Tre is an incredibly dynamic dual threat guy, and now the Hoosiers are in for it. Tevin Coleman is the tailback, and he's one of the best in the conference. He's in for a busy day...
October 15th, 2014 at 9:28 PM ^
October 15th, 2014 at 9:20 PM ^
How's their offensive line?
EDIT: Ah, one of my questions answered as I was writing this. Good luck to the tailback.

"Guy weighs 175 lbs. Pray for him."
This made me laugh out loud for some reason.
October 15th, 2014 at 9:26 PM ^
October 15th, 2014 at 9:47 PM ^
And we complain here about injury issues. I mean, if our QB got hurt, at least...
nevermind.
October 15th, 2014 at 10:03 PM ^
October 15th, 2014 at 10:04 PM ^
Well at least they can rely on their defense.

I was talking with a IU fan/friend last night. I asked him why would you schedule MSU for your homecoming?
His response was basically, with IU's football history we never know if we will win the game. So it is much better losing a homecoming game against a real good team, rather against a team we could possibly beat. We simply try to manage fan's emotions.
Then he added, also with MSU we should have a full stadium for homecoming (even though it will bea large portion of MSU fans).
October 16th, 2014 at 9:41 AM ^
makes sense. At least we are not IU... though our chances of beating MSU this year might be pretty much the same.
October 16th, 2014 at 9:43 AM ^
He could be good some day... and he weighs considerably more than 175 lbs... but thus far his performances have left quite a bit to be desired.
