I'm rooting for IU to break the tOSU/PSU/Oregon stranglehold at the top of the conference. If it can't be us this year, much rather them than scUM or U$C.

Getting your ass whipped can be a good learning experience in football and in life in general. The culture in the program is great and I suspect they'll be able to shake if off.

If Bret has to play deep reserves at defensive back that's a bigger problem.

Would've had no issues if they got squarely beaten by 10-20 points, but to get absolutely steamrolled is just depressing.

my pain/sadness/heartbreak is much more tied to this USC game. If we go out and lose handily in this one, then there are a lot of really hard truths that we’ll have to accept about where we’re at.

But if we win, that IU game is wiped from memory as far as I’m concerned. Yes our brief entry into true national/playoff relevance likely ended on Saturday and I’m not sure if we’ll get to have that again anytime soon, but if we’re being honest we all kind of knew it wasn’t going to last.

A loss isn't surprising, IU was favored, at home, at night. Even a convincing win shouldn't have been too surprising.

But complete domination on both sides of the ball plus ST? Yikes. And then the cherry on top with all the DB injuries, I think I'm trying to avoid thinking how bad this could get.

But maybe it's just IU is really good and we'll bounce back. Hard to not be concerned about the OL issues, that is just really hard to fathom the regression we've seen from end of last season.

Lots of talk about moving on from the "that's so Illinois!" line of thinking, but.....there it is.

my 13 year old have his Illini heart trampled. I think he was all in that we were a potential playoff team. He doesn't have the grizzle yet to protect him.

For me, I said 8-4 before the year, and I'm sticking with it. There are obvious concerns. Not sure how we fix the O-line and really worried about the secondary injuries for the short term.

But I think most of what happened on Saturday was a perfect storm that isn't as much of an indictment of this team as we think (just as now realize the Duke game wasn't really a sign of how good the team was either).

I'll admit I had a little bit of hope that the playoffs might be an actual possibility, but this is still a team that can have a solid season.

It was actually looking pretty dicey for my boys--they were hitting the key fandom commitment age around 2020 and things had been so bad for the 2010s. Then Ayo/Kofi happened and Bielema turned things around and now they're locked in. Kids are easy to brainwash.

He's a great coach but you literally couldn't turn over a roster anywhere near as fast as this just a couple of years ago. It took a few years just to cycle through players that maybe you didn't want and/or weren't good enough and have serviceable replacements. Now coaches show up Year 1 and have like 70 new players.

Hard to think of a more sure-thing success than the guy who brought a program up a level (in the midst of a historically good run for the Sun Belt nonetheless) and immediately dominated.

Sure, but what he's done at IU is literally unprecedented...

JMU was FBS and he went 11-1 in his final year. That included a win over UVa

They didn't get to play in the Sun Belt title game but went 7-1 in the conference. They were a really, really good non-Power 4 (5 at the time) team.

Obviously that doesn't extrapolate to dominating in the B1G but he also took some kids from non-JMU schools who made a big difference, like Rourke.

Part of it might have been burying my Grandmother on Saturday (in the cemetery next to Memorial Stadium) followed by burying my Illini football playoff hopes that night.

If we weren't so decimated by injuries on the back end, we could chalk it up...

...as one horrific night.

Now we are without our best CB for the season (probably), our SS is concussed, our 2nd best CB hasn't played yet, our 3rd best CB got hurt, our 4th best CB got hurt, and everybody else is young.

but the injuries, emotion, Mendoza being apparently maybe really “that good”, I think as bad as the defense was it’s kind of a write off to me.

But the offense is supposed to be where we hang our hat. Aside from the TD to Dixon we had like 100 yards passing and 29 yards rushing excluding sacks.

It was the brain fart of all brain farts that gifted us a TD to start the 2nd half.

Credit where credit is due, and the scoreboard is the ultimate report card… but it masked a lot of deficiencies… and Cignetti flat out said the Duke tape gave him what he needed to prepare against us.

Anyway… yeah… on to the next. Hopefully with decent health.

The Lunney offense does not fit the Bielema football philosophy, and with substandard OL talent, it gets badly exposed.

Unless they sleep in, they're going to put up 40+ on our secondary.

I'm not even whining... it's just about injuries and being without any semblance of CB talent left after last week.

Can our offense put up 40 on USC when our OL couldn't control the LOS against EIU or WMU? Is Barry Lunney going to be locked in a dark room, and forced to call plays that 1) work with the talent we have and 2) actually go along with the game script and what defenses are doing against us?

The ball hits the WR in his numbers every time, making it impossible to defend. They tortured us with that.

Contrast that with Altmyer inconsistency at throwing the same route accurately. I still love Luke, but he’s not that kid.

also noted our first down calls are hamstringing us with too many 2nd and 3rd and longs. Also notes our offensive line has big problem. Also came out saying they got smoked in coaching. In a nutshell IUs staff picked apart our schemes and our staff didn’t have any answers. On top of secondary being decimated, not good news here.

it seems.

But after sleeping on it, I’m definitely, I would say, scared. Getting the Duke score put on us, 45-19, would have stung, but 63-10 is something very different. I don’t know what to even do with that. That’s Lovie/Beckman stuff. Most average/above average teams across the country will not have that happen to them no matter who they’re playing.

We weren’t even close to stopping them on defense, and they literally laughed at our offense all week in prep and then stuffed us.

Thinking you might lose and worried about you might get embarrassed are two different outlooks. Bielema has successfully made the former the predominant feeling, which has been so welcome, but I’m scared the latter is sinking in for me for next week. And if it actually happens, where does the season/momentum even go from there?

They were a playoff team last year, are really impressive in the trenches on both sides of the ball, they have speed at the skill positions, and their QB is really good. There’s no reason they can’t compete for a title.

There are plenty of teams on our schedule we can beat. Need to get/stay healthy though.

Is hiring and sticking with Henry as the DC. Henry does some stuff very well though, I think he coaches the DB position well, he recruits well, he’s good with the players and media, great relationship with BB so they can be real with each other, etc. but, I think he struggles pretty bad at times with the game plan and then changing it in game.

Henry’s pluses may outweigh the minuses, but the only thing we really see him do is during the games on Saturdays

I think he’s probably a below average game planner/tactician, and an above average position coach, motivator, and culture guy. Which probably averages out to…average.

So I’m not sure I’d call it a mistake either, and he’s improved a bit from year 1 so maybe there’s more yet to go for him. But I think as a chess player, we lose a bit there with him.

Next week sets up to be a disaster when you look at USC's offense. I'm not sure if we can do anything to stop them if our secondary is as thin as it seems.

But, if we can move the ball, and subsequently control the clock, then we may be able to make a game of it. That has been Bert's bread and butter.

That said, the thing that leaves me worried is his post game comments about not knowing what to do to counter anything IU did last night. I've always felt like Bert was pretty good at in-game adjustments but that leaves me concerned.

I think the worst thing is that it was IU. tOSU? Sure. Oregon? Fine. PSU? Whatever. But IU? Ugh. And then watching their jackoff coach pile on post win...too much. I really hope he goes to a bigger job next year. I can't imagine IU sustaining this and having the earth shift on its axis to a world where they are at the top of the league year in and year out. Gross.

Indiana didn't get a capacity crowd yesterday for a 6-6 team.

If we got outplayed, outcoached, out-anything'd by a TON yesterday, then playing Rutgers somewhere in NJ with a bid to the Great American Turnip Bowl on the line isn't going to make me change my Saturday (or Friday night) plans in mid-November.

Dukes turnover EPA from his own website is -22.61. Each Duke turnover was worth roughly 4.5 points to us *by his numbers*. He has some kind of “luck multiplier” he doesn’t disclose to determine how “lucky” your turnovers were. But the raw turnover EPA in that specific game was (rounding) +23 points for Illinois. We won by 26.

“A turnover is worth 5 points” is a good rule of thumb when you’re watching the games.

I get the anger but 64 is undersized and not a super athlete. What does he do with that?

If you want to say “recruit better”, fine, but 64 is going to get beat vs the better teams. Just doesn’t have it. The OL coach can only mitigate that so much.

Nor am I denying IU is better

But there is clear context for this shit pumping. The talent differential is not this extreme.

Another way to think about it: play IU 100 times, they probably win 75%. But this particular outcome is probably a 98th percentile result.

15 looks like an All American, they’re dominating all three phases, you think that’s *just* coaching? They’re obviously better, by a lot. Do you think Cignetti goes to UF and wins a NC? Like, make a prediction, don’t explain to me how probability works, I know how it works. I understand there’s a range of outcomes and this is in the tail end.

Clearly they are more talented and clearly they are better. I have said all of that.

But talent alone doesn’t explain how good they are, and yes, I think coaching is as much a part of the outcome tonight (simultaneously to their benefit as well as our detriment) as the talent.

I’ve heard the Saban anecdote you mentioned many many times. It’s charming. It’s also a silly oversimplification.

I started a long post with the coaching decisions that decided this game from the jump

Before injuries and, yes, *talent* led to the wheels coming off.

I don’t think they are 50 points more talented than us. And I’m not saying coaching made them 50 points better either.

I have no idea if they make the CFP. They could get there at 10-2 with losses to Oregon and Penn St. If they do it’s not because they are CFP talented (which would never have been the case for us either).

But I’m tired. Have a good night.

That's pretty much unsustainable, the playoff talk for this team always seemed silly. Just find a way to go 8-5.

Also, the schedule is turning out to be quite a bit more difficult than originally expected, there's a decent chance we're at the start of a 5-game stretch where we'll be an underdog 4 times.

For instance, Duke outgained us because they drove like 40 yards with both sides playing backups at the end of a 45-16 game.

I think it's just generally reflective of the fact that our true talent level is pretty middling in the B1G, which is actually progress for us. We tend to play like more than the sum of our parts, which is a huge credit to the coaching staff as well as player development, but it does come with a bit of a cap.

All the warning signs from that game that were masked by the final score were in fact very real warning signs.

I predicted a 21 point loss but I didn’t expect this to look indistinguishable from the worst of the Lovie era defensively. This is extremely bleak.
