Big play by Dixson. Defense is blitzing on just about every down now. It's been working so far but Mendoza is bound to eventually find the unguarded receiver.

I believe IU called TO

3rd & goal from the PSU 12: PSU is in nickel D. False start by IU (they are down by the student section)

3rd & goal from the PSU 17: pass completion, but PSU's D tackled the receiver at the 10

IU to attempt a 28-yard FG, and it's good

10-7, IU, with 2:30 left in the 2nd qtr

Campbell whiffs on tackle but we still get the stop to hold them to a FG.

I'll give PSU this much. They seem to be playing hard since Singleton scored.

Need a 1st down. Otherwise IND gets the ball back with another chance to score before halftime.

Grunk 5/7 with 2 drops on catchable balls. Just let him throw it and the run game will open up. We’re not winning this game with bubble screens and trying to pick up blitzes on 3rd and long. Eventually he’s going to throw an INT and it won’t be the end of the world.
How about a slant on 2nd down?

1st down: Kaytron between the tackles for 3

2:00 minute warning before the 2nd down play

2nd & 7 (from their 25): Grunk looks to pass, then scrambles, and is tackled for a 1-yard loss

3rd & 8: dumps it to Kaytron, he barely gains much, he fumbles as he's tackled and IU recovers. He was really close to being down, but the replays seem to indicate his knee had not yet touched. It looks as though as he was going down, the ball hit the helmet of the guy that was tackling him (from behind), which caused the ball to squirt free. smh

What’s wild is that was a simple drop after Kaytron drops it and he loses it. Last time IU had the ball Mendoza was sacked, ball knocked loose, and Mendoza falls right down on it.

This team can’t get a break and when it does it shoots itself in the foot.
