I don't blame the coaches.  They don't have faith in QB and we are running a hollow shell of what they probably want to run.  We did more power today which was great.  It is going to be a tough second half of the season.

I still don't get the logistics of this.

 

One play-caller. Just one. 

 

As Oscar Martinez famously taught us: 

 

"Look, it doesn't take a genius to know that every organization thrives when it has two leaders. Go ahead, name a country that doesn't have two presidents. A boat the sets sail without two captains. Where would Catholicism be, without the Popes?"

found a way to put away wins. No way in hell IU should have a chance to win with 20-10 and 6 min left. I used to be encouraged by the fact UM has led almost every game into the final minute before losing - now I realize it could be more of an issue with Harbaugh. Too conservative and the NFL mindset of playing the odds just doesn't work in college - too much weird stuff happens,

IU had a chance to win because of an egregious block in the back that was somehow not called and a questionable holding call on the long snapper giving IU a 46 yard field goal to tie instead of 56.

 

I'd love to read some specifics of exactly how Harbaugh failed this team today, but I'm hoping you're just venting.

but criticism of not playing Peters to this point to me is pretty valid.  O'Korn was awful all game and besides handing it off in the 2nd half they probably would have been better putting Peters in.  Worst case is he turns it over which doesn't seem that much more unlikely than O'Korn given a week ago.  Best case is he gets in when you're mostly running the ball anways and gets some experience prior to next week and you know if you can put him in the #1 snaps all week in prep for Penn State.

AJ Dillon had 39 carries for 272 yards and 4 TDs (long of 75, 7.0 average) today vs Louisville.

Seems like the kind of guy you would want on your team.  Who did we end up with instead after he decomitted?

1. Play on the field has shot all us armchair coaches down by proving that Speight >>> O'Korn

2. Speight this year was bad.

3. O'Korn is terrible.

4. The fact that Peters hasn't beat out O'Korn is about as red a flag as a red flag can get.

than 8 yds of the line of scrimmage the whole second half.  But we win, and our defensive scheme and coaching, including the secondary, was tremendous.
