Here's to Indiana

The scariest winless in conference play team ever. Jesus H. Christ I am going to need to see a Cardiologist before the end of this season.

From rivals "When we rolled in, it looked like a thin crowd on a beautiful day. And at least half blue. But the joint filled up late and IU had enough to shout down a few feeble attempts to get their "Go Blue" BS started. In all my years of going to IU games, I measure us by how we play Michigan. I consider Ahia State cheaters and don't much care what they do. Michigan - in my view - has done it right and I liked Bo more than Woody, etc." Quite a few posted that there were annoyed with just how many M fans showed up, one said he doesn't remeber M fans travel this well in the past.

Tempo, injures, a very good IU OL and RB combo, and absolutely TERRIBLE LB play. I hate dogging on Michigan players but our LB's are as weak as I've ever seen at Michgan. Play after play they were caught up in the wash, lost in space, or woefully slow filling the hole. Others have said it: when the DL was healthy the LB's look ok, but as injures has hampered the rotation, it's obvious that the LB's are the weakest link on this defense. Hats off to IU, they're OL is impressive and that RB is a beast.

clearly, LB was never a strength but I think the staff knows. Gedeon was in for Bolden a lot today and everyone from Durkin to Harbaugh were showing they were not very pleased with Bolden to his face. Morgan is a thumper but he's not the LB you want versus that offense. Bolden just didn't know what to do today. Gedeon is so much more willing to get physical but he was lost, too. That said I'm actually a big fan of Gedeon and think he'd be starting if Bolden wasn't a Senior as they are about even in play. As a team the thing that just kills me is our run game. It's beyond unexceptional and every week they praise our OL and how physical they are. They're not. Ever. When you can't push Rutgers and Indiana around, you're soft. Matters become worse when you don't have a HB. We don't. Smith is all guts but he's not a guy you see going over 100 vs a good team. Johnson isn't the same guy but it's not expected given 2-3 knee injuries. Green, Isaac, etc.....? We don't have a guy to exploit holes when our OL does create them so it's frustrating. Finally, I think the weakening of the DBs not named Lewis comes from the downturn in DL play. Early on guys like Stribling, Clark and occasionally Peppers only had to cover for 2 seconds or so. When QBs have time they can attack them with ease. IMO, we CAN beat psu but we'll see. osu? No Glasgow? Don't see it. We'll see and hope I'm wrong.
