It’s 100% on Marsh, anyone saying otherwise is crazy

ehh maybe like, 70-80% on Marsh, it would've been a little tricky (doable! he's really good! but tricky) to catch it inbounds

Yep, and Hoover could have thrown it futher inside, given how badly the defense broke down. Not sure he knew that when he threw it, but that play was clearly designed to bait the D into breaking on the line to gain and then blowing them out over the top.

It’s a terrible throw that marsh should’ve caught.

Idk why it has to be such all or nothing thinking here. They both fucked up

The QB is under pressure and throws a catchable ball up that his WR should catch in bounds 100% of the time, it really wasn’t that bad of a throw.

Thank god he did honestly. As a neutral, I was not ready for another blatantly missed/wrong call to dominate discourse of a hyped matchup. Refs nearly bailed out IU with the roughing.

Inability to make that catch inbounds would move a receiver several…several rounds down the draft board.
