What did we learn? The Indiana edition (sponsored by the Greg Louganis Diving School)

[skersfan]

There was a lot of talk about a running back being recruited by UCF/Coach Frost and how he went to Indiana over UCF/Nebraska.  A lot of things are said during recruiting visits that could come back to bite you.  

My guess is that it has something to do with recruiting.

Still shouldn’t respect them. They got lucky. What they’re doing is neither impressive nor sustainable for a crap program. Who cares what IU’s whinny a$$ AD says.

That RB can bite me.

UCF wanted him as LineBacker, Indiana gave him the scolly for Running Back.  Number 8,  Scott III I think was the number.  He hurt us pretty bad no question.

We learned that our coach thinks:

that in the B10, time of possession doesn’t matter

that a bend but don’t break defense is the answer

that passing is always better than running

then throwing your players under the bus ok.

I can't even explain to you how much this is the wrong perspective to have.

Indiana is a crap program, but, we couldn't beat them with 2 weeks to prepare. So it's not like we're not a crap program.

Good. Then don’t try.

If we run up half a hundred, T.O.P. doesn't matter that much.

We do need to play better defense.

We ran the ball more than twice as much as we passed it. 

You may have a point about calling guys out. Really should just bench them and not say anything.

Astute observation about the game of football.

That people are so quick to fire individuals that if the fan base was in charge we may never have consistency.

The Good: True freshmen making plays means the future is bright. I hope. Several other teams are graduating their best players, and we get nearly everyone back, most for 2 or more years. Wandale is a treasure - a real difference-maker, and the fact that Frost got him here from Kentucky shows at least more than a modicum of recruiting prowess. Luke is also a tough kid.

The Bad: Special Teams, week after week. Wyatt had a few good returns, but all in all, not so good. Stovall and Reimer hustle and hit, but our kicking NEEDS to get better.

The Ugly: This was the first game I've watched live in the Frost Era, and it's obvious that half our defensive problems are alignment-related. At least a DOZEN times, we had guys not knowing where they were supposed to be when the ball was snapped. After a bye week, this is simply inexcusable. We had linebackers trying to cover their best receiver on deep crossing routes, Honus fell asleep and the TE ran right by him down the seam for a big play, and several others just like it. One time, Garrett Nelson was matched up one-on-one with their best slot guy. Really? Come ON, Chinander, it's getting embarrassing. The run defense was stout, until when it really mattered, and they folded like a cheap suit.
