I may have missed something amongst all the discussions following Friday's game, but why did Joseph Himon only have 2 carries ? He had a great game versus Colorado so I was hoping for a repeat performance

Looking forward to the Penn State contest. GO CATS !

I think Kelly figured out early we weren't going to be able to run. Sawchuk has an 11 yard run, other than that, the RBs were about 1 yard per carry.

I was puzzled that Himon wasn't targeted in passing, but IU may have had him blanketed. Wilde also took a long time to figure it out before he broke loose in the 2nd half.

It feels like defenses just blanket Wilde and maybe now Himon. They give lip service to Wagner because of his drops and his height/ Chiles overthrows. Big Luke breaking out will help. Also Eligon if/when he returns
