IU VS BAMA

[marcusluvsvols]

Been helping the spousal unit. Did Ty Simpson get hurt?

Not really. Benched

Go onside kick here

Do it, do it

This is both true AND misleading.

They were 3* kids or NO stars out of HS. Then they produced in college and Indy brought them in from the portal. 50plus portal players. That's a different animal than recruiting 50 low rated kids from HS and turning them into world beaters

I don't know why folks keep harping on this - with a portal player, for the most part it is some other coach that has coached up the player, not the coaches with the teams they are playing for.

A FG?????

Just eliminated the need for 3 2 point conversions.

Yes, his feelings were shattered

 

[TrueOrange]

A FG?????

It’s the right move. You needed 4 scores at that point either way.

FG takes you down to only needing 3 scores in the final quarter…which can actually be doable (even if it feels unlikely at this point).

You get nothing here and instead go into the fourth quarter needing 3 drives for TDs plus another drive for a FG or TD, that’s a hard uphill battle for a single quarter without also getting help from turnovers from the other team.

DeBoer looks out of place at a school like Bama.

I really don’t seem him lasting long.

I’d take him in a heartbeat. He’s not Saban but far better than the gumps deserve.

If lots of coaches were winning big with no name guys you might have an argument. Cignetti is the only guy winning at a high level with low level talent.

Most guys, including Alabama, are losing to him with much better talent.

I find it hard to see how that reflects on us. He's beating very, very good programs but he's the only guy in D1 doing this.

It’s not directly related to us. We are told to be happy with mediocre results because we haven’t given it enough time, but many coaches win a lot more than we have in that time. While Cignetti is extreme, he is the one on tv that I’m watching after what I watched our team do in year 5. I hope that makes sense.

Simpson making a strong draft statement today.

 

[Orange931]

Just eliminated the need for 3 2 point conversions.

Yes but instead of having to get 3 scores, they made it to where they have to get a fg and 3 scores.

 

[VolsSportsFan]

They don’t wanna get shutout….

The official line is probably "We'll need a FG anyway"

But I feel your version is the right answer.

 

[Matt2496]

Indiana defying the trend of by week teams losing.

 

[Orange931]

3 TD’s and three 2 point conversions is 24 points.

He is hurt - just stop.

ACC

If the 3rd best acc team beats UGA or ole miss what is our argument after that

No it was a 3 score game…technically…but I would like the odds from here of getting the ball back in the 3rd and then making it a two score game then making 3 2 pointers.

 

[ffemtp]

I will admit that I was not sold on all the Indiana hype. (Admittedly I haven’t watched them much at all). After watching this I will have to say they are a dang hard hitting, well coached team.

 

[sonofUT62]

Yes but instead of having to get 3 scores, they made it to where they have to get a fg and 3 scores.

Well that’s the nature of being down 24-0. I didn’t say it was a good option. Just a better one.

[Vol737]

Wow! IU looks like what a Saban coached team looked like most of his tenure at Bama. I was already impressed, but to take Alabama behind the wood shed like this…gracious sakes alive.

Didn’t that clown pass away? NM. Just looked him up. Doesn’t appear so. Ole Harvey Updike. Epitome of an inbred Bammer.

 

[DEFENDTHISHOUSE]

This game kinda feels like Ivan Drago vs Apollo Creed lol


Somebody throw the towel lol

 

[camp_steveo]

It is amazing what he’s done with the worst team in the big 10 in two years.

It's miraculous

Been helping the spousal unit. Did Ty Simpson get hurt?

He got absolutely tagged on the 1st half fumble. Think that's where it happened. Not sure how he got up.
