Don’t be discouraged

It sucks that we lost that game Hoover missed many open throws, marsh could’ve toe tapped victory. But Cig is obviously the coaching beast and it sucks our streak is over but we did all this without ever having a five star high school recruit which Ohio State has overflowing (people are quick to forget where they came from)

Marsh could have been an Indiana legend on that play but he flat footed it. Youre allowed to be upset. That was a slam dunk play. Ball was right where it needed to be. He forgot about his feet.

That was a game winner and even though we sucked on offense all game still had a chance to win. Those 2 inches keep OSU in the top 5 and kick us out to a 9 or 10.

I’d even say we outplayed Ohio state and just completely beat ourselves. I do disagree with the coaching decision to kick the long field goal in the second half. At this point kicker is a liability and it’s something Cig won’t put up with.

I can see how you disagree with the call. But I am not turning on Niko yet. It would be great if he had longer range but I think nearly everyone knows that was outside his.

I’m more concerned about the chip shots he missed . It’s a 1 point game if he makes the first . Again, Indiana absolutely beat itself , defense was lights out , Hoover has to get the ball down on those throws over the middle to Becker . 2 fumbles were awful. Thought Hoover recovered nicely late with a chance to win it . However gotta be better earlier and hit the slants .

A 1 point game and then they kick another as the game expires for a 2 point win.

I am going to agree but not go as far. A Big Ten kicker should have made that chip. No question. However, do to the hashes, that is one of the hardest angles in kicking. By that I mean there is so little room for error. You have to say such a small amount of degrees. And he the upright, that shows you how easy it is to be a hair off.
