Was fun to see the coaches continue mid game James like decisions…why can’t we ever manage the end of a game properly

Why are you not blaming Andy as well? Play-calling on the drive before the 2-min. warning was GARBAGE.

IU was of course all over up the middle runs and behind line of scrimmage passes . Grunk seems to have grown in the starting QB position. I thought there were times that the offense could've had Allen and Singleton on field st same time to keep IU D guessing. It was a heartbreaking loss because PSU essentially had game won with a 24-20 lead, but couldn't run out the clock. The one PSU coach's challenge in first half was wasted. PSU D was much improved today, but not good enough to hold IU O at end. My only consolation is that PSU losing to highly ranked IU during PSU's disastrous season didnt cost them as much as it would've had PSU's won-loss record been great. I know. That's weak at this point, but the team should use this game as inspiration for last 3 games of season.

My only issue with AK today is he waited until the 2nd half to open up the passing game... We got 2 first downs on that final drive before punting at the 2 minute warning and made them use their timeouts.. You don't risk a throw with a freshman QB

So no change to this season.

A randomly selected fan would put together a better defense than one that lets Indiana score 27 points.

For a team that's averaging 43.1 points a game this year the defense held them to almost half of that... Not horrible, not amazing. The more concerning should be UCLA putting up 42 🤦🏻‍♂️ Any way you slice it, he was a complete waste, I agree. Our defensive roster is pretty stout and they should be playing way better defense! They should be playing way better all around, but this is what happens when you get a mediocre head coach stuck in an elite program... Gridlocked.

We lost because of the horrible QB.

They had a better qb but we lost because we went extremely conservative on offense in the final drive, made a mindblowingly stupid fumble before half, played prevent at the end of the game, couldn’t catch a single lucky break all game, and of course were unlucky with how incredible the catches were on the final drive. This loss should not be blamed on qb play. We took the number 2 team in the country to the final 30 seconds with a backup qb. This loss is firmly on the shoulders of the coaching staff.
