The point is, Plummer has way better measurables. If he’s not beating O’Connell out, that means the coaches are failing when it comes to developing recruited talent. Ditto Thienemann and horvath. Graham looks lost so I have a hard time believing they couldn’t do better.

Really disappointed in the defense so far... incredibly soft. Rookie Iowa QB has all day to throw and the secondary giving the "patented" 10 yard cushions. I don't think Petras has had to throw under pressure at all other than that one sack.
AOC has been decent but wouldn't mind seeing Plummer or Burton...c'mon boilers

It’s going to happen. I used to make fun of Allen because he ruined BD, but dude is legit good
He could have had 3 interceptions on 3 very bad throws in the first half. He also allowed himself to get sacked at the one yard line and missed a WIDE open Bell for a sure TD. You gotta get rid of the ball deep in your own territory. I'm not sure what you see in the guy? I just don't see it.
Maybe some of these “come on, of course horvath, Thienemann and O’Connell should be starting for a coach who turns a program around in year 4” types will change their tune after IU fans they know give them the business all week.
Maybe the standard will be higher than “come on, I’m sure he’s a nice guy”
Let's make some halftime adjustments and make this our half. Cmon Boilers!!
According to players and coaches in interviews, our defense is designed to stop big plays. First half = 15 plays of 7 yards or more.
This secondary is just bad. If Thienemen is the "vocal leader", they need to put someone in who isn't "vocal". I'm unimpressed to say the least...
I’m not even saying O’Connell isn’t an asset to the program/doing his best/a player who brings some damn good attributes to the field. This is on the coaches not O’Connell
Also @purduepat1969 even if O’Connell has a good second half and leads us on a comeback that isn’t the point.
It’s also not the point if Plummer gets in and lays a turd. Petras is out there doing it in year 3 in the program. Plummer should be too.

He’s on scholarship, so I’m guessing not. Sorry, just hoping for more this year.
I haven't seen him. It looked like he just got the wind knocked out of him. But could be bruised up.
I just wish he could get there before the cloud of dust. Man, he takes a while to get going.
I can see why Horvath is playing. He must look like a superstar against our run defense in practice...
Great play by Horvath. But please stop comparing him to Alstott...
