Spotted them 14 points lol? Cincinnati had two first downs and 23 yards of offense up until McFadden's targeting with 4 minutes left in the first half on what otherwise would have been their 4th 3 and out of the half. Two huge special teams blunders and red zone incompetence is the only reason IU didn't win that game going away.
Indinia is 1-2

IU was never going to win that game. Cinci is a better team. That’s a fact.
So other than offense and special teams, IU had ‘em whupped !!
IU was dominating Cincinnati up until McFadden's targeting with 4 minutes left in the half in every facet of the game. It was men against boys, Cincinnati was fortunate to only be down 14. But Cincinnati didn't wilt (and that's a credit to their phenomenal staff) and thanks to some severe red zone incompetence were given life. Football is all about capitalizing on the opponents mistakes and that is what Cincinnati did.
I thought you guys would be much better. Looks like, to the extent you were good, the magic is in Fresno now.
DeBoer is a big loss, no sugarcoating it. Still not a bad team, just getting absolutely nothing from the QB position. IU is 2-1 with Penix playing even half way decent this year with the Iowa game being much more respectable. I expect the defense will continue to play well but they can only be put in bad position after bad position so many times.
I will type slow so you can follow along. Please take notes. Cincinnati had 2 turnovers in the first half. The looisers scored on both of those turnovers. Both scores were on short fields. Therefore they spotted them 14 points.
From that point on Cincinnati scored 38 points. Your looisers scored 10. Therefore Cincinnati spotted you 14 points.
If only you could pick and choose what plays count. Unfortunately for you looisers the game is 4 quarters and consists of playing offense, defense and special teams.
You going to conveniently forget the two turnovers IU had in the first half (in which Cincinnati eventually scored) on top of a muffed snap on 4th and inches inside the 10 yard line? Cincinnati was fortunate being down only 14-0 and not 24-0. IU had Cincy outgained 175 to 23 with 3 minutes left in the first half so short field my ass, they were getting dominated. But you knew that right?
Type as slow as you want, just don't be so dense next time.
And Cincy still scored enough points to beat IU even if that did magically happen...
Who argued otherwise? And nothing magically happened, Cincinnati was getting outclassed right up until the time IU totally shit the bed. They deserved to lose.
Well, that...and, poor coaching, Penix being awful, and, absent McFadden, the defense just being awful.
Defense wasn't awful at any point of the game. Obviously a drop off in talent once they lost McFadden but that was to be expected.
Like the Iowa game, 21 of Cincinnati's 38 points came directly off offensive/special team miscues and they were put in bad position after bad position time and time again. 3 for 6 in the redzone and 4 turnovers from the offense is going to doom any team, especially when playing a top 10 team.
I told you to take notes. You got lost again.
I did not forget the Cincinnati’s 2 turnovers or the looisers 2 turnovers. The score was 14-0 after Cincinnati’s 2 turnovers. Therefore spotting you 14 points. After those 2 Cincinnati turnovers they scored 38 points and punted only one time.
Looisers first scoring drive was 50 yards. Second was 6 yards. So yes both short fields. Thanks for proving my point.
I will agree that Cincinnati could have been down big if they were playing a good team. However they were playing your looisers.
Congratulations on winning the first 25 minutes. Once again I told you you can’t pick and choose what plays count. You are the one that is making excuses.
By that account, not a good look from IU spotting the Bearcats their 38 points.
Wow. You win the internet today for the dumbest post of the day. However it’s still early. I’m positive you can and will be dumber.
As Ron White says “You can’t fix stupid”. And you are living proof he’s correct.
Tim, your posts here are usually pretty level-headed. For some reason, you're letting your emotions get the better of you in this thread.
I didn't watch the game, but went back to the box score. After review, it's safe to say both teams were playing poorly in the 1st Qtr, and well into the 2nd. That doesn't give IU the nod to controlling the game, nor to being better at execution, nor that they should have won the game going away.
Here are the (combined) drives to start the game:
PUNT
PUNT
PUNT
PUNT
INT
TD
PUNT
DOWNS
INT
FUMB
Six of the first 7 possessions (combined) were 3-and-outs.
UC had an INT and FUMB, leading directly to IU's first 2 TDs. If you wish to cite "special teams blunders and red zone incompetence (as) the only reason IU didn't win that game going away", you need to work that logic both ways.
IU didn't "win the game going away" because you played poorly. As did UC. UC simply played less poorly when they needed to.
Peace.
That Ole Miss loss is ABSOLUTELY what people make it out to be...it exposed IU for the genuine fraud that it was...the Ole Miss JV team rolled out and beat IU in a game that it deemed was beneath them to even play in.
Yes, playing in front of fans has been/will be problematic for IU...in part, because they are not accustomed to it (see last Saturday for further evidence).
Penix was incredibly overrated...and he is showing it...he is talented, but, makes bad decisions and bad reads as well...it was there last year, but, ignored...now, absent the mobility, it is all that more on display.
8-4 only seemed reasonable because you were looking at last year...which was a fluke...COVID had a tremendous impact...in multiple ways. IU was not winning 8 games this year unless, like last year, everyone that they played (outside of OSU) continued to suck...which was not likely. Last year was the literal perfect storm of circumstances for IU...they capitalized in general to their credit (albeit laying an egg when it mattered most in the bowl game against Ole Miss' JV team)...back to reality this year, just as many had said would be the case.
I don't care how allegedly well IU's defense played...if ST and offense sucks, the end result is a loss, and, that is ultimately all that matters. As a Bears fan...I know that all too well...as a Purdue fan, I have seen the opposite/reverse proven time and time again (offense good enough to win/defense and ST not). You may (or may not be right), but, it is a moot point...as they lost twice...for whatever reason(s).
You BOTH need to go back to your "cesspool"; maybe you can revisit here when you've both recovered from your "mental injuries". 🤣
IU football: 134 years of "mental injuries" and counting.
Thanks for the suggestion. But, I enjoy interacting with "most" Purdue fans (present company excluded).You BOTH need to go back to your "cesspool"; maybe you can revisit here when you've both recovered from your "mental injuries". 🤣

Little Tommy Two Shits is the reason IU lost. Might be the most over-rated Coach in the conference
You're right about Penix. His pooter is puckered to the point he's afraid to do anything. IU should bench him and try someone else.
You crying asses not only wouldn’t come here when you really sucked you also wouldn’t allow any smack on your board.. and now, caught red handed
“let’s go back home and see if peegs will come Back to save our eyes from evil”
Hmm. I've been here for quite some time. I enjoy the interaction. And I have nothing to do with any censorship on IU boards. I just like to talk football especially with a little edge with our rival. Smack? No. Good natured rivalry crap talk - OK.
Why you gotta be so mean?
Oh, that HURTS so much, coming from you; if you call being butt-hurt, insecure and resorting to name-calling here on OUR forum "interacting", then you're no different than most IU fans who post here and can't behave themselves (and then get banned).
You talk SO BIG at your "cesspool", yet you know NOTHING about real college football ("mental injuries" LMFAO!) Sorry, your team sucks historically and they aren't any better this year - LAST YEAR WAS A FLUKE, deal with it!
GOOD RIDDANCE and GOOD BYE!
You may be wrong for all I know but you may be right.
Catch ya later in the season you Lunatic.
Name-calling gets you BANNED, GOOD BYE!
"Lunatic" is from the same Billy Joel song......
You may be right
I may be crazy
Oh, but it just may be a lunatic you're looking for
Turn out the light
Don't try to save me
You may be wrong for all I know
But you may be right
You may be right
I may be crazy
Oh, but it just may be a lunatic you're looking for
Turn out the light
Don't try to save me
You may be wrong for all I know

Allen has always been a defensive coach who needed plenty of help on the offensive side. He‘s had a revolving door of offensive coaches, with the best OC going West. That’s made their O chaotic. They have no offensive identity. None. Penix has always been a mechanically poor quarterback who can’t stay healthy. When plays break down, he tries to do way too much, with usually bad results. They can’t block a middle school team. Not to run, not to throw. The defense isn’t bad, but they get screwed by their offensive teammates. So much for loving each other. And they have bottom half to third Big 10 talent. Against Cincy, the good team made plays, while the average team made mistakes. In tight games, that’s become their trademark.
Throw that all together and you get a team that was vastly overrated coming into the season. No amount of “Loving your boat“ or “Row each other” or any other gimmicks can change those facts or their reality, which is that they’re a middle of the pack Big 10 team that was way overhyped based on the results of one oddball season. A bowl game, any bowl game, would be a monumental accomplishment for them. But nobody should be surprised with where they are.

I wonder if Tyson Helton (WKU head coach, former OC to Jeff Brohm) made any phone calls to West Lafayette over the summer.
Interesting...
"Outside of my family, Jeff Brohm has made the biggest impact for me as a coach," Helton said. "It went beyond a professional relationship. It was a personal relationship. Our families are close. When you hit those bumps in the road and those hard times, and you know you've got a guy that you can walk through it with, it's important, and Jeff Brohm was that guy for me."
Hey Coach, mind if we compare notes?

Are you saying that they're now a Women's BBall school?
Allen has no other choice but to stick with Penix. Tuttle would be 5th string at Purdue behind Alaimo.

Do you really want to get into this?
Penix is completely banged up, a shell of a QB that he once was.
Your "dual threat" QB is now relegated to a drop back passer, and that's far from his skill set.
If you had a viable replacement at QB, he would be starting.
Unless, of course, Rev LEO has his head up his arse....🤷♂️
The kid made a questionable decision coming back way too soon. We’re left to speculate whether he received some self-serving advice from Indinia leadership. Someone told him he was ready to play, and he is very clearly not.
