Huge drop followed by a bad one by one of the TE's

Status: offline 		What a roller coaster that game was!!! I thought to myself midway through the 3rd, "maybe we're just a good team". And before the thought even worked itself out, I immediately had guilty feelings and I knew somehow the game was going to get hairy. The defense played so well for the first 40 minutes of the game, and then IU just cut through us. But if we would have scored on any one of those drives when IU was making their run, the game would have been over. Still, we found a way to win a game I doubt we would have won in any other year recently. To win 2 games this year on the road in conference is a huge accomplishment.

How about the catch by Donavahn Jones on that last drive? That kid looks like he could be a stud in the future. And Nelson has really been great the last two weeks. Fun team to watch right now, with aggressive play calling, players that play with good fundamentals, and a team that just looks into it. And to be honest, we should beat Penn State next week. I honestly feel we are a better team than them, and I hope the Bank is packed and loud next week. This team deserves it!!

3-0 with coach Kill off the sidelines. Hmmm.

They just didn't have the quality depth to absorb a loss like this. It is starting to become apparent how each year, Kill has incrementally improved the depth of the roster.

Saw a chunk of the game, then missed the last 15 minutes.  Not sure my heart could have taken it.

Man, would be great to beat PSU this weekend.

Then you must be just about catatonic at this point.

This is a five star post if I've ever read one.

Well, 5 stars on the whiner scale anyway.

Nah.  I'm not passive aggressive (in that sense, anyway).

Honestly, it's weird that one star is "-2".  When I see a single star, I think someone liked it, but not enough to give it more -- I never think that it's a bad thing.

I also think it's weird that people star posts at all.

Loved the 4th down play call. Beautiful play design there.

Great 4th down pass and the "Golden I" for the TD.
