Yep, my school didn’t fare well Friday night. Fun, great year that didn’t see coming. Luckily I did not fork out the $500 to freeze while tailgating all day, then at game. One of my sons did though and had a great experience with many of his friends, other than the game result.
Rourke giving the momentum right back on the pick into double coverage at the 2, right after IU picked off Leonard was a buzz kill. Then immediately followed by the worse blow, the 98 yard TD run. After that, the D wasn’t bad, having to stay out there all night cuz the O did nothing.
Will be interesting to see if and when they expand this thing to 14, or even 16 teams? After the first 4 games, where other than maybe Clemson for a half, was competitive, I don’t see a compelling argument to do so anytime soon.
Oh, and in IU Portal News, back-up QB Tayven Jackson did jump in yesterday. Good arm, good wheels, but a bit mechanical. The word is not a good reader of coverage or adept enough in RPO reads. Should have 2 years left. No inside info, but some think might follow the QB coach, who just got the UCLA OC gig. I think more like Sun Belt, or AAC would be a better fit for a PT in his next stop. Hoping the Mendoza buzz to IU will be accurate.
