I'm Galen Clavio. 4 00:00:22,640 --> 00:00:27,560 We got the 28th of September is the day that we're recording 5 00:00:27,560 --> 00:00:28,760 here. It's a Thursday night. 6 00:00:29,420 --> 00:00:32,259 And a beautiful night in Bloomington as we get ready for 7 00:00:32,259 --> 00:00:34,300 a weekend's worth of football action. 8 00:00:34,300 --> 00:00:38,460 Indiana back on the field once again, traveling on the road 9 00:00:38,460 --> 00:00:42,060 this week as they take on the Maryland Terrapins as the Big 10 10 00:00:42,060 --> 00:00:46,380 season really begins in earnest And a big hill to climb. 11 00:00:46,380 --> 00:00:50,460 Obviously for Indiana, sitting at 2:00 and 2:00 on the season 12 00:00:50,460 --> 00:00:54,340 needing four wins to get to bowl eligibility. 13 00:00:54,420 --> 00:00:58,300 And frankly, Indiana sits here at the end of September. 14 00:00:58,930 --> 00:01:01,450 And should feel pretty fortunate that they're two and two given 15 00:01:01,450 --> 00:01:02,810 the way that things went last week. 16 00:01:02,810 --> 00:01:06,050 Obviously, if you heard our show from the weekend, you know that 17 00:01:06,730 --> 00:01:09,930 there's a lot of stuff that needs to get fixed. 18 00:01:09,930 --> 00:01:11,890 It looks like on this I U Football teams, we're going to 19 00:01:11,890 --> 00:01:14,330 talk about that a little bit. We should have Taylor Lehman 20 00:01:14,330 --> 00:01:16,690 joining us a little bit later in the podcast. 21 00:01:16,690 --> 00:01:19,930 We're going to break down some of the numbers that we'll be 22 00:01:19,930 --> 00:01:24,330 looking at for this game against the Maryland Terrapins. 23 00:01:24,850 --> 00:01:27,250 And we'll talk a little bit about some of the matchups and 24 00:01:27,250 --> 00:01:31,650 so forth and and what Indiana can do if they want success in 25 00:01:31,650 --> 00:01:34,210 this game. Before we get to that point, we 26 00:01:34,210 --> 00:01:37,450 just a reminder that first of all, for those of you who don't 27 00:01:37,450 --> 00:01:39,450 make it to the end of the podcast normally, I wanted to 28 00:01:39,450 --> 00:01:43,210 say right up front that Crimson Cast is now on sub Stack. 29 00:01:43,970 --> 00:01:48,770 You know, we really built the listenership of Crimson Cast and 30 00:01:48,770 --> 00:01:51,250 Crimson Cash and some of the other shows that have been on 31 00:01:51,850 --> 00:01:54,130 via Twitter.

Anyway, let's break down some of 83 00:04:31,020 --> 00:04:35,940 the basic numbers for Indiana as we head into this game. 84 00:04:35,940 --> 00:04:38,500 The Hoosiers of course, as I said, come into the season or 85 00:04:38,580 --> 00:04:42,260 come into this, this game really that the the beginning of the 86 00:04:42,260 --> 00:04:46,100 2nd, 33% of the season. I was going to say the second, 87 00:04:46,100 --> 00:04:47,940 third of the season, but that sounds weird. 88 00:04:48,580 --> 00:04:54,580 Indiana Two and two and coming off of 2927 quadruple overtime 89 00:04:54,580 --> 00:04:59,750 win over the Akron Zips. The Hoosiers are on the road for 90 00:04:59,750 --> 00:05:01,230 three out of the next four games. 91 00:05:01,230 --> 00:05:04,190 They travel to Maryland. They're traveling to, well, they 92 00:05:04,190 --> 00:05:06,430 have a bye week after that, Then they travel to Michigan. 93 00:05:07,270 --> 00:05:09,870 They get Rutgers at home for homecoming and then they travel 94 00:05:10,190 --> 00:05:13,030 to Penn State. So a pretty tough stretch of 95 00:05:13,030 --> 00:05:16,190 games, even tougher if you add the 5th game on there the the 96 00:05:16,270 --> 00:05:19,390 the beginning of the third third of the season as they'll have 97 00:05:19,390 --> 00:05:23,160 Wisconsin in Memorial Stadium. On the 4th of November. 98 00:05:23,160 --> 00:05:26,400 So you know, you look at this middle part of the schedule and 99 00:05:26,400 --> 00:05:29,760 you say to yourself like you know, Indiana has to find a way 100 00:05:30,160 --> 00:05:33,160 to start playing better, start being more competitive. 101 00:05:34,040 --> 00:05:38,080 You know, in in all phases of the game, very Jekyll and Hyde 102 00:05:38,080 --> 00:05:41,840 type of team so far, but to some degree. 103 00:05:42,200 --> 00:05:45,560 That Jekyll and Hyde nature is is masking what has not been a 104 00:05:45,560 --> 00:05:48,000 particularly impressive statistical performance so far 105 00:05:48,160 --> 00:05:52,080 for this Indiana squad. On the season so far they are 106 00:05:52,080 --> 00:05:56,560 averaging 21.8 points per game. They're holding opponents to 107 00:05:56,560 --> 00:06:01,400 19.5 points for game, which is is good, but by and large this 108 00:06:01,400 --> 00:06:03,960 Indiana team is really struggling across the board 109 00:06:03,960 --> 00:06:08,920 offensively. 915 yards passing on the season, 2 touchdowns, 2 110 00:06:08,920 --> 00:06:15,170 interceptions. 3.2 yards per rush attempt for this I U 111 00:06:15,170 --> 00:06:20,170 offense, and you know, there's been some good vibes around the 112 00:06:20,170 --> 00:06:22,530 past protection for this I U team. 113 00:06:22,650 --> 00:06:27,250 Coming into last week, they hadn't allowed a sack thus far 114 00:06:27,250 --> 00:06:31,130 and unfortunately they they did allow some sacks in that game 115 00:06:31,170 --> 00:06:34,610 against Akron. But you know, it's really been a 116 00:06:34,610 --> 00:06:36,250 mixed bag offensively for this team. 117 00:06:36,250 --> 00:06:38,370 A lot of struggles in the red zone, as as anybody who's 118 00:06:38,370 --> 00:06:42,830 followed along knows. And it makes for a very 119 00:06:42,830 --> 00:06:45,910 uncomfortable look when you head in to play Maryland, because 120 00:06:45,910 --> 00:06:51,510 Maryland has certainly performed at a very high level thus far 121 00:06:51,510 --> 00:06:53,830 offensively and really on both sides of the ball. 122 00:06:54,190 --> 00:06:57,470 The flip side is that Maryland hasn't performed against 123 00:06:57,470 --> 00:07:00,430 particularly good competition. So Maryland on the season 124 00:07:00,750 --> 00:07:07,350 averaging 37.3 points per game, holding opponents to 12.3 points 125 00:07:07,350 --> 00:07:11,160 per game. Michigan AR Excuse me, Maryland. 126 00:07:11,160 --> 00:07:16,480 88 touchdowns, 3 interceptions, 11135 passing yards and 127 00:07:16,480 --> 00:07:22,920 averaging 5.05 yards per rush attempt and that includes 10 128 00:07:22,920 --> 00:07:26,200 touchdown rushes. Their defense has has really 129 00:07:26,200 --> 00:07:28,600 clamped down. They've they've already forced 7 130 00:07:28,600 --> 00:07:34,140 interceptions on the season. And they've they've managed also 131 00:07:34,140 --> 00:07:38,300 to to force 4 fumbles as well. So this has been a ball Hawking 132 00:07:38,300 --> 00:07:39,780 defense. It's been a defense that's 133 00:07:39,780 --> 00:07:41,780 really disrupted their opposition. 134 00:07:41,780 --> 00:07:44,980 Now the flip side of that is that Maryland does not played a 135 00:07:44,980 --> 00:07:46,900 particularly good schedule so far. 136 00:07:46,900 --> 00:07:50,220 In fact, it's really it's really a bad schedule they beat up on 137 00:07:50,460 --> 00:07:54,400 1000. 38 to 6000 Not an FBS team. 138 00:07:54,680 --> 00:07:58,960 They played an incredibly weak FBS team in Week 2 on national 139 00:07:58,960 --> 00:08:00,560 television. Weirdly enough, there really was 140 00:08:00,560 --> 00:08:02,840 no inventory that week for NBC to pick from. 141 00:08:03,400 --> 00:08:07,120 They beat Charlotte 38 to 20. That was an interesting game 142 00:08:07,120 --> 00:08:10,160 because Maryland really struggled for about 2 1/2 143 00:08:10,160 --> 00:08:13,000 quarters in that game, and then they eventually kind of took off 144 00:08:13,000 --> 00:08:18,600 and ran with it in Week 3. They played Virginia, and that 145 00:08:18,600 --> 00:08:21,000 was a walk over. Virginia has been real bad this 146 00:08:21,000 --> 00:08:23,520 year, and Maryland made them look even worse than that. 147 00:08:24,000 --> 00:08:26,160 The Terrapins win that game 42 to 14. 148 00:08:26,440 --> 00:08:30,040 And then of course, last week they traveled to Michigan State. 149 00:08:30,440 --> 00:08:33,400 Michigan State is in shambles right now, and Maryland 150 00:08:33,400 --> 00:08:36,640 absolutely took advantage of that, just obliterating the 151 00:08:36,640 --> 00:08:40,000 Spartans 31 to 9 in Spartan Stadium, one of the worst losses 152 00:08:40,000 --> 00:08:43,559 they've suffered there to a team like Maryland in a while. 153 00:08:43,559 --> 00:08:45,560 I mean, you know, you'll see Michigan State occasionally. 154 00:08:46,180 --> 00:08:49,820 At home, they'll they've been blown out by they got blown out 155 00:08:49,820 --> 00:08:51,780 by Washington. But Washington's one of the top 156 00:08:51,780 --> 00:08:54,980 teams in the country led by former I U quarterback Michael 157 00:08:54,980 --> 00:08:57,380 Pennix. You know, But you know last year 158 00:08:57,380 --> 00:08:59,660 they lost really heavily at home to Ohio State. 159 00:08:59,660 --> 00:09:02,580 But they generally play pretty well in Spartan Stadium in 160 00:09:02,580 --> 00:09:04,300 Michigan State made them or Michigan. 161 00:09:04,300 --> 00:09:06,940 Maryland made Michigan State look silly in that game. 162 00:09:07,020 --> 00:09:12,220 So you know, this is a Maryland team that depending on what you 163 00:09:12,220 --> 00:09:15,020 think about the overall quality of. 164 00:09:15,710 --> 00:09:18,950 Of Michigan State has already you know they've played a Big 10 165 00:09:18,950 --> 00:09:22,990 game and they've wanted handily on the road and they haven't 166 00:09:22,990 --> 00:09:24,750 played a whole lot with the rest of their schedule. 167 00:09:24,750 --> 00:09:28,110 But a lot of what we're seeing out of Maryland feels like a 168 00:09:28,110 --> 00:09:30,950 continuation of what we saw out of Maryland last year. 169 00:09:30,950 --> 00:09:34,710 A team that's got a a really exciting offense with a really 170 00:09:34,710 --> 00:09:38,150 dynamic quarterback in in Talia Tiger Vilava. 171 00:09:38,710 --> 00:09:41,430 They they've got some excellent skill position players that they 172 00:09:41,430 --> 00:09:44,990 can rely on. You know, last year Maryland 173 00:09:44,990 --> 00:09:48,390 average. 28 points a game, but was allowing 23. 174 00:09:48,390 --> 00:09:50,230 I mean they were a team that they could score points, but 175 00:09:50,230 --> 00:09:52,910 they also allowed points. This year they're scoring more 176 00:09:52,910 --> 00:09:55,110 points and they're allowing significantly fewer. 177 00:09:55,110 --> 00:09:59,550 So as we bring our friend Taylor Layman from Bite Size Bison in 178 00:10:00,110 --> 00:10:02,470 for the preview, first of all, Taylor, great to see you. 179 00:10:02,470 --> 00:10:05,830 How was dinner? It was good. 180 00:10:05,830 --> 00:10:09,670 We made, I grilled some burgers and yeah, yeah, they turned out 181 00:10:09,670 --> 00:10:11,830 pretty well. The the grill stopped in the 182 00:10:11,830 --> 00:10:14,550 middle, so I was like, what is going on? 183 00:10:14,550 --> 00:10:17,030 But no, it's good. They turned out well. 184 00:10:17,110 --> 00:10:20,550 This is, this is the the grill God's way of keeping you from 185 00:10:20,550 --> 00:10:23,310 overcooking the burgers. So I like the way that they work 186 00:10:23,310 --> 00:10:24,830 on this now. Well, good. 187 00:10:25,710 --> 00:10:28,270 Well, we haven't really talked about a whole lot yet, Taylor, 188 00:10:28,550 --> 00:10:30,310 but we're we're just getting ready. 189 00:10:30,310 --> 00:10:32,750 We've laid out some of the basic statistics for both of these 190 00:10:32,750 --> 00:10:35,150 teams. You've done a wonderful thing 191 00:10:35,150 --> 00:10:39,910 for the community in bringing back the the stat comparison 192 00:10:39,910 --> 00:10:43,790 sheet between these two teams, looking at some of the various 193 00:10:43,790 --> 00:10:47,110 advanced statistics that you would want to look at to try to 194 00:10:47,110 --> 00:10:50,830 figure out what the matchup is, is and and what we could expect 195 00:10:50,830 --> 00:10:53,030 out of this, this matchup overall. 196 00:10:53,630 --> 00:10:55,270 So let's talk about that to start with. 197 00:10:55,270 --> 00:10:56,750 I mean going and looking at that sheet. 198 00:10:58,020 --> 00:11:01,380 The the S&P plus win probability between these two teams. 199 00:11:01,380 --> 00:11:05,100 Maryland is an 85% favorite in this game. 200 00:11:05,500 --> 00:11:10,420 The projected score right now is 35 to 14 in favor of the Terps, 201 00:11:10,420 --> 00:11:12,480 which. I mean, given the stats we were 202 00:11:12,480 --> 00:11:16,640 just quoting seems kind of Fair. But, you know, can you talk 203 00:11:16,640 --> 00:11:19,160 about some of the things that you noticed when you were 204 00:11:19,160 --> 00:11:23,080 looking at this preview that really stuck out to you in terms 205 00:11:23,080 --> 00:11:26,720 of what we've seen out of these teams so far this year and and 206 00:11:26,720 --> 00:11:28,600 how you think that might play out on the field? 207 00:11:29,640 --> 00:11:31,480 Yeah, yeah, no. One thing that I noticed before 208 00:11:31,480 --> 00:11:34,800 even started putting the sheet together was something that CFP 209 00:11:34,800 --> 00:11:40,090 Graphs had tweeted out and then it was that I quoted the tweet 210 00:11:40,090 --> 00:11:43,050 on Twitter to to bring attention to the number that was next to I 211 00:11:43,050 --> 00:11:46,250 U. But Maryland was even further 212 00:11:46,250 --> 00:11:49,250 down the list. So something I noticed but it's 213 00:11:49,250 --> 00:11:52,490 the amount of yards that they surrendered before making first 214 00:11:52,490 --> 00:11:56,730 contact with with runners and that's about a little over 3 215 00:11:56,730 --> 00:12:00,130 yards from Maryland. It's it's almost about I use 216 00:12:00,130 --> 00:12:03,210 average run per average yardage per rush. 217 00:12:03,210 --> 00:12:06,250 But that's the first that's honestly that's one figure that 218 00:12:06,250 --> 00:12:08,370 really jumped out to me and you can see it reflected in the 219 00:12:08,370 --> 00:12:12,890 sheet and Maryland being ranked 117th in defensive success 220 00:12:12,890 --> 00:12:18,250 against the rush and allowing you know 3.3 mine yards per rush 221 00:12:18,250 --> 00:12:20,370 is essentially what that what that figure is. 222 00:12:20,770 --> 00:12:24,610 So though that's something that jumped out to me but also the 223 00:12:24,610 --> 00:12:27,330 number of turnovers that Maryland's defense has forced is 224 00:12:27,330 --> 00:12:29,650 second in the country. They forced 11 turnovers. 225 00:12:30,570 --> 00:12:32,530 You know that could be strength of opponent. 226 00:12:32,570 --> 00:12:36,010 It, you know, it's it's hard to say, but that's a lot of 227 00:12:36,010 --> 00:12:39,370 turnovers. So you know that that's going to 228 00:12:39,370 --> 00:12:42,730 be part of this game. So that's those, those were a 229 00:12:42,730 --> 00:12:43,850 couple things that jumped out to me. 230 00:12:43,850 --> 00:12:48,450 First, specifically about the Maryland defense, but. 231 00:12:49,090 --> 00:12:51,010 And you know what we were talking about leading in? 232 00:12:51,010 --> 00:12:53,930 I mean, Maryland hasn't played a murderer's role of opponents 233 00:12:53,930 --> 00:12:56,850 thus far. You know this, so you kind of 234 00:12:56,850 --> 00:12:59,890 have to take. A little bit of a a grain of of 235 00:12:59,890 --> 00:13:02,410 doubt with a little bit of this, but also there's there's teams 236 00:13:02,410 --> 00:13:05,490 that are ranked like Maryland who have played similar, you 237 00:13:05,490 --> 00:13:09,330 know statistically bad teams and have not yielded as much. 238 00:13:09,330 --> 00:13:12,930 And so while you can discount some of the stats, these things 239 00:13:12,930 --> 00:13:15,610 do factor in like quality of opponent and where you would 240 00:13:15,610 --> 00:13:18,730 rank accordingly. And I mean, I I, you know, I 241 00:13:18,730 --> 00:13:21,250 look at overall at what Maryland's doing. 242 00:13:21,780 --> 00:13:25,060 It's it's pretty fascinating, you know, their defense is 243 00:13:25,060 --> 00:13:28,380 actually performing better than their offenses, even adjusted 244 00:13:28,380 --> 00:13:31,300 for opponent overall. Maryland just looks like a 245 00:13:31,300 --> 00:13:34,900 really solid football team right now, a team that's got balance 246 00:13:34,900 --> 00:13:39,020 on both sides of the ball. You know, a team that is able to 247 00:13:39,100 --> 00:13:42,140 to gain a lot of yards and also not give up a lot of yards. 248 00:13:42,180 --> 00:13:45,300 A team that is, you know, he's got a pretty high offensive 249 00:13:45,300 --> 00:13:48,400 success rate. And a team, you know by and 250 00:13:48,400 --> 00:13:52,760 large that does all of the things that advanced statistics 251 00:13:52,760 --> 00:13:56,760 are tuned to like and and you know, you can say, well, that 252 00:13:56,760 --> 00:13:59,440 may not be the full story. But the reason advanced 253 00:13:59,440 --> 00:14:02,920 statistics like things like explosiveness or points per 254 00:14:02,920 --> 00:14:06,560 drive is that they are really good predictors of success. 255 00:14:06,560 --> 00:14:09,160 And that's really a big reason why Maryland's 4 know so far 256 00:14:09,160 --> 00:14:11,320 this year. Yeah, because it maintains some 257 00:14:11,320 --> 00:14:14,120 of those statistics. You need consistency and you 258 00:14:14,120 --> 00:14:16,830 know that that that's something we haven't seen out of Indiana. 259 00:14:16,830 --> 00:14:19,030 So that's why they aren't as friendly for some of those 260 00:14:19,030 --> 00:14:21,550 analytics. But yeah, that's a really good 261 00:14:21,550 --> 00:14:26,790 point and that's also why the struggles and run defense kind 262 00:14:26,790 --> 00:14:32,350 of stood out to me because you would think in this type of 263 00:14:32,350 --> 00:14:36,430 schedule, these first few games here that those numbers would be 264 00:14:36,430 --> 00:14:40,340 a little bit better. So I think that you know that 265 00:14:40,340 --> 00:14:42,340 that could be something that I you could try to exploit, but I 266 00:14:42,380 --> 00:14:44,220 just, I don't have any confidence that the rushing 267 00:14:44,220 --> 00:14:46,500 attack. Well, I was going to say, I mean 268 00:14:46,500 --> 00:14:49,860 apparently I U is still a running team, they're still a 269 00:14:49,860 --> 00:14:52,900 run first offense. So this is your big chance, Tom 270 00:14:52,900 --> 00:14:54,980 Allen, to actually make that stick. 271 00:14:54,980 --> 00:14:57,660 I mean, I think if there is, if there is an opponent left on I U 272 00:14:57,660 --> 00:15:01,660 schedule that you, you know, you could really exploit the running 273 00:15:01,660 --> 00:15:04,340 game against this may be it like this team or maybe Purdue, 274 00:15:04,340 --> 00:15:06,540 because Purdue's rush defense has not been particularly good 275 00:15:06,540 --> 00:15:08,580 either. But you're playing Maryland 276 00:15:08,580 --> 00:15:12,300 right now. And I will also say that if 277 00:15:12,300 --> 00:15:16,380 Indiana is able to get the running game going, which again, 278 00:15:16,380 --> 00:15:19,820 it seems a little bit unlikely given how poor that's been in 279 00:15:19,820 --> 00:15:23,340 basically every game so far this season, that might be helpful 280 00:15:23,340 --> 00:15:26,300 against Maryland because you're going to have to eat some clock 281 00:15:26,500 --> 00:15:29,740 against this Maryland team. You know, not having Maryland's 282 00:15:29,740 --> 00:15:33,020 offense on the field I think is is going to be where Indiana 283 00:15:33,020 --> 00:15:36,400 wants to be. Because you know, Tyga Viola and 284 00:15:36,400 --> 00:15:39,320 and some of the weapons he's got at his disposal are going to 285 00:15:39,320 --> 00:15:42,800 take advantage of weaknesses that we've seen thus far in 286 00:15:42,800 --> 00:15:44,560 Indiana's overall defensive approach. 287 00:15:45,080 --> 00:15:47,240 Yeah, yeah, I want to touch on that real fast. 288 00:15:47,240 --> 00:15:50,560 But something that something that kind of jumped out to me 289 00:15:50,560 --> 00:15:56,600 also is the stark contrast in Indiana's success in pass versus 290 00:15:56,600 --> 00:15:59,360 rush. They they are 16% more 291 00:15:59,360 --> 00:16:03,320 successful in in in passing situations on offense than they 292 00:16:03,320 --> 00:16:07,860 are rushing and and and third worst success rate and rushing 293 00:16:07,860 --> 00:16:11,900 in the in the country so you know not that I know that he's 294 00:16:11,900 --> 00:16:15,580 surprised everybody he's listening but but but no the 295 00:16:15,780 --> 00:16:20,500 what I what I what I now I think I forget what I was trying to 296 00:16:20,500 --> 00:16:21,340 talk. About No, it's fine. 297 00:16:21,340 --> 00:16:23,180 I mean, we were, we were talking a little bit about trying to 298 00:16:23,180 --> 00:16:25,020 keep Maryland's offense off the field. 299 00:16:25,140 --> 00:16:27,860 And it is tough, though, because you, as you just pointed out, 300 00:16:27,860 --> 00:16:30,620 like you, on the one hand, you look at what Maryland's you 301 00:16:30,620 --> 00:16:32,860 know, the struggle they've had in defending. 302 00:16:33,510 --> 00:16:36,230 The run. And yet it we look at Indiana 303 00:16:36,230 --> 00:16:38,750 struggles running the ball, it's like well if something's going 304 00:16:38,750 --> 00:16:41,230 to give there, it'd be great if Indiana could actually figure 305 00:16:41,230 --> 00:16:43,470 out a way to control clock through running the ball a 306 00:16:43,470 --> 00:16:45,470 little bit more than they have at this point. 307 00:16:45,870 --> 00:16:46,630 Right. Right. 308 00:16:46,630 --> 00:16:47,230 Yeah. No. 309 00:16:47,230 --> 00:16:49,750 And and and on the defensive side like you were saying, you 310 00:16:49,750 --> 00:16:53,070 know they're they have they have weapons to attack you know 311 00:16:53,070 --> 00:16:54,590 through through the passing game. 312 00:16:54,590 --> 00:16:58,670 And you know I think Corey Dykes is going to be a huge that's 313 00:16:59,070 --> 00:17:01,710 he's he's scary. I thought he was scary last year 314 00:17:01,710 --> 00:17:04,420 and it didn't really they didn't really pan out because they had 315 00:17:04,420 --> 00:17:06,980 CJ Defree and and some other weapons in the passing offense. 316 00:17:06,980 --> 00:17:10,300 But that guy, I think this is the year that he could really 317 00:17:10,540 --> 00:17:14,339 pose that major threat. But he's there leading receiver, 318 00:17:14,339 --> 00:17:16,500 the tight end, he plays a lot in the middle of the field. 319 00:17:16,500 --> 00:17:18,980 We saw that happen with Kate Stover with Ohio State. 320 00:17:19,980 --> 00:17:24,940 You know that's it's that's going to be interesting to see 321 00:17:24,940 --> 00:17:28,260 how they play another athletic tight end. 322 00:17:28,660 --> 00:17:32,150 But then you know I kind of wrote in my in my preview from 323 00:17:32,150 --> 00:17:38,510 Maryland that the front seven is looking a little shaky and so 324 00:17:38,510 --> 00:17:42,150 they're kind of I'm kind of watching them because they have 325 00:17:42,150 --> 00:17:47,470 two good running backs especially Hendy he's he's 326 00:17:47,470 --> 00:17:52,710 really good so and just you know staying on top of those two guys 327 00:17:52,710 --> 00:17:54,870 is going to be difficult and they they've run a lot of, they 328 00:17:55,030 --> 00:17:56,990 don't run a lot of play action but when they run play action 329 00:17:56,990 --> 00:18:01,170 it's successful. And you know, yeah they can. 330 00:18:01,210 --> 00:18:04,130 I think, you know I don't think they're the most explosive 331 00:18:04,130 --> 00:18:09,130 offense the top 30 in explosiveness but I expect that 332 00:18:09,130 --> 00:18:14,130 to be a little lower. But they can, they can, they can 333 00:18:14,130 --> 00:18:17,130 take the top off and I think that the linebackers have to 334 00:18:17,130 --> 00:18:18,450 play better than they did against Akron. 335 00:18:18,850 --> 00:18:21,210 Yeah, I know, without question. It's interesting cuz you know 336 00:18:21,250 --> 00:18:23,800 you mentioned. The passing attack from Maryland 337 00:18:23,800 --> 00:18:25,400 a little bit. They're they're incredibly 338 00:18:25,400 --> 00:18:28,560 balanced in how they get the ball all over the field. 339 00:18:28,560 --> 00:18:32,480 They've got 6 receivers thus far that are in double digits and 340 00:18:32,480 --> 00:18:37,240 catches. Caden Prater is leading in, I 341 00:18:37,240 --> 00:18:41,840 think total yards per game. He's at about 52 yards a game. 342 00:18:41,840 --> 00:18:46,100 Corey Dykes is second. Just on Jones third, Ty Fallon 343 00:18:46,140 --> 00:18:48,460 is in that mix. Octavian, Smith, junior, Roman 344 00:18:48,460 --> 00:18:50,900 Hembree. And then in the rushing attack, 345 00:18:50,900 --> 00:18:53,700 they were balanced there, too. Hembree, they're leading rusher. 346 00:18:53,700 --> 00:18:56,660 McDonald has about 200 yards rushing. 347 00:18:56,660 --> 00:18:59,620 Antoine Littleton has about 100 yards rushing. 348 00:18:59,620 --> 00:19:01,700 I mean, they've really and some of it, I think it's been the 349 00:19:01,700 --> 00:19:04,220 blowouts, but they've been able to get a bunch of different guys 350 00:19:04,220 --> 00:19:08,060 out there and figure out ways to get them involved in the 351 00:19:08,060 --> 00:19:11,750 offense, which. Is I think a really key thing in 352 00:19:11,750 --> 00:19:15,030 a game like you've got against Indiana here and it's going to 353 00:19:15,030 --> 00:19:17,110 make it difficult for Indiana because if you're the Hoosiers, 354 00:19:17,550 --> 00:19:20,110 who do you cue on? Like where's the focus go? 355 00:19:20,110 --> 00:19:22,550 I mean, you mentioned some of the danger people that they've 356 00:19:22,550 --> 00:19:24,830 got on their roster and certainly that, but I think 357 00:19:24,830 --> 00:19:28,070 they've already shown they don't have to go to those guys to have 358 00:19:28,070 --> 00:19:31,150 success offensively. Yeah know exactly. 359 00:19:31,270 --> 00:19:36,310 If I you if I you keys on the running backs you know keying on 360 00:19:36,310 --> 00:19:38,350 running backs isn't great when you're trying to defend a great 361 00:19:38,350 --> 00:19:40,170 tight end. And I think that's going to be a 362 00:19:40,170 --> 00:19:42,810 really good thing for Maryland for the season moving forward. 363 00:19:42,810 --> 00:19:44,610 Why they're probably fairly successful on offense. 364 00:19:44,970 --> 00:19:48,610 So you know you go after the running backs you lose the tight 365 00:19:48,610 --> 00:19:49,730 end. You go after the tight end, you 366 00:19:49,730 --> 00:19:51,650 lose the running backs. And then like you were saying 367 00:19:51,650 --> 00:19:53,890 the the receivers they have their disposal too. 368 00:19:53,890 --> 00:19:58,610 I think are you know they're not the most talented but I think 369 00:19:58,610 --> 00:20:02,010 they're growing and so there's I think there's like some some 370 00:20:02,010 --> 00:20:04,210 budding talent there at receivers. 371 00:20:04,210 --> 00:20:08,610 So yeah, I think it's going to be a challenge for. 372 00:20:10,200 --> 00:20:13,120 I talked before about the multiplicity of of I use 373 00:20:13,120 --> 00:20:15,120 defense, I think there's some multiplicity and then the 374 00:20:15,120 --> 00:20:17,640 offense of this Maryland team, and I think that's going to be a 375 00:20:18,000 --> 00:20:20,040 struggle. The one thing I feel fairly good 376 00:20:20,040 --> 00:20:21,480 about, I don't think they're going to. 377 00:20:21,480 --> 00:20:23,720 We will see. Mike Locksley might have a trick 378 00:20:23,720 --> 00:20:26,640 up his sleeve here, but I don't think they're going to do a lot 379 00:20:26,640 --> 00:20:31,440 of design quarterback runs with, You know, we saw how DJ Irons 380 00:20:31,440 --> 00:20:33,920 really shredded. I use defense with that. 381 00:20:33,920 --> 00:20:36,880 But Tiger by Low is not an immobile quarterback. 382 00:20:36,880 --> 00:20:38,520 I mean, this is a guy who can move. 383 00:20:38,520 --> 00:20:39,640 He just. Doesn't have to. 384 00:20:39,680 --> 00:20:42,800 Right now he's completing I think 65% of his passes. 385 00:20:43,080 --> 00:20:45,520 He's got two rushing touchdowns. He's running when he's needing 386 00:20:45,520 --> 00:20:49,080 to and it's just feels like a real after. 387 00:20:49,320 --> 00:20:53,760 And again, we're we're a little bit shell shocked I think, from 388 00:20:53,840 --> 00:20:56,520 having to sit through the Akron game and watching Indiana get 389 00:20:56,520 --> 00:20:58,080 shredded by that particular team. 390 00:20:58,680 --> 00:21:01,280 But even if not, I mean, even if this was coming right off the 391 00:21:01,280 --> 00:21:04,000 Louisville game, this feels like a real tough task. 392 00:21:04,350 --> 00:21:08,270 For Indiana defensively, and you know, you think about last year, 393 00:21:08,590 --> 00:21:10,590 you know these two teams obviously play. 394 00:21:10,590 --> 00:21:13,510 This has been a really close series historically. 395 00:21:14,190 --> 00:21:18,030 Indiana did not play badly in that game versus Maryland last 396 00:21:18,030 --> 00:21:20,030 year. They only lost by 5:00, but they 397 00:21:20,030 --> 00:21:23,070 gave up 38 points in that game, Taylor. 398 00:21:23,070 --> 00:21:27,230 And it just it felt like every time Indiana needed a stop last 399 00:21:27,230 --> 00:21:30,430 year in that game, they just could not come up with one. 400 00:21:31,220 --> 00:21:32,100 Yeah. Yeah. 401 00:21:32,100 --> 00:21:34,740 When when I look back on the defense last year, I think about 402 00:21:34,740 --> 00:21:38,820 how you know at some certain positions the the personnel. 403 00:21:38,820 --> 00:21:42,060 Well, I don't think it's what I you would have hoped for 404 00:21:42,380 --> 00:21:45,420 specifically like Brian Fitzgerald at safety. 405 00:21:45,420 --> 00:21:48,460 I I think that there are some positions that they they 406 00:21:48,460 --> 00:21:50,260 probably feel better about this year's defense. 407 00:21:50,460 --> 00:21:52,460 You know, because they've pretty much recruited the whole defense 408 00:21:52,460 --> 00:21:59,710 out of the portal. But I think, I think yeah and 409 00:21:59,790 --> 00:22:03,670 and I think I, I I maybe texted you this during the after the 410 00:22:03,670 --> 00:22:05,870 Akron game. But that defense looked like it 411 00:22:05,870 --> 00:22:09,150 was it was built with transfers. It looked like there was a lot 412 00:22:09,150 --> 00:22:15,630 of miscommunication and especially in the 425 defense is 413 00:22:15,630 --> 00:22:20,150 really susceptible to misdirection and if you don't 414 00:22:20,150 --> 00:22:23,110 keep an eye on the quarterback you give up 86 scrambling yards 415 00:22:23,470 --> 00:22:28,420 and you know it it just kind of it gave me, it gave me that 416 00:22:28,420 --> 00:22:32,820 feeling that you know there is there is a kind of a razor's 417 00:22:32,820 --> 00:22:37,820 edge to this to this defense and and I think Maryland team could 418 00:22:37,820 --> 00:22:40,780 exploit that. I'm not super optimistic about 419 00:22:40,860 --> 00:22:42,700 about the defense going into this one. 420 00:22:43,020 --> 00:22:45,260 Well, I mean you look, you look a little more closely at what 421 00:22:45,260 --> 00:22:49,020 happened last year and you know, I mean it was, it was a 422 00:22:49,020 --> 00:22:51,100 shootout. In a lot of ways, it was a weird 423 00:22:51,100 --> 00:22:52,500 game. Because, I mean, Indiana 424 00:22:52,500 --> 00:22:58,510 yielded. 442 yards to Maryland. They yielded 25 first downs. 425 00:22:58,710 --> 00:23:00,830 Indiana picked up 23 first downs themselves. 426 00:23:00,830 --> 00:23:04,270 Indiana was leading in the fourth quarter, but Indiana had 427 00:23:04,270 --> 00:23:08,030 three turnovers in that game and didn't force any Maryland 428 00:23:08,030 --> 00:23:11,910 turnovers in that game, and that was really the difference. 429 00:23:11,910 --> 00:23:14,830 And you think like one of those scoring drives gets turned over 430 00:23:14,830 --> 00:23:16,950 Merritt maybe. Maybe Indiana walks out of there 431 00:23:16,950 --> 00:23:18,830 with a win, and maybe they're going into the last game of the 432 00:23:18,830 --> 00:23:20,700 season. You know, without with a chance 433 00:23:20,700 --> 00:23:22,620 of winning and going to a bowl. But that's not how it played 434 00:23:22,620 --> 00:23:25,300 out, and that was in Memorial Stadium. 435 00:23:25,300 --> 00:23:28,020 Now that that hasn't mattered too much in this series. 436 00:23:28,020 --> 00:23:30,780 We've seen these teams win on each other's home fields a few 437 00:23:30,780 --> 00:23:33,100 times since Maryland joined the Big 10. 438 00:23:33,100 --> 00:23:36,180 But yeah, it's it's, you know, it's going to be interesting. 439 00:23:36,180 --> 00:23:39,700 I mean, if you look at the way the defense played in its two 440 00:23:39,700 --> 00:23:43,260 best halves of the season, the first half against Ohio State 441 00:23:43,620 --> 00:23:45,460 and the second-half against Louisville. 442 00:23:46,080 --> 00:23:49,880 You know the the the problem with like both of those games in 443 00:23:49,880 --> 00:23:52,960 relation to this one is that it was clear, I think it's become 444 00:23:52,960 --> 00:23:57,680 even clearer that Ohio State was holding every single card close 445 00:23:57,680 --> 00:24:00,200 to its best in that game. They really were kind of 446 00:24:00,200 --> 00:24:02,680 practicing what Tom Allen is, preached about, what we're not 447 00:24:02,680 --> 00:24:05,720 going to show anything. And then in the Louisville game, 448 00:24:05,720 --> 00:24:09,360 it really does feel as I've gone back and watch that that game 449 00:24:09,360 --> 00:24:11,360 again. It really feels like Louisville. 450 00:24:12,050 --> 00:24:15,410 Was like, let's just do just enough to win in the second-half 451 00:24:15,410 --> 00:24:17,330 where you know we're not going to let ourselves get too 452 00:24:17,330 --> 00:24:20,050 stretched out here and it ended up working out for them. 453 00:24:20,530 --> 00:24:23,570 Maryland's not going to have that attitude like Maryland is. 454 00:24:23,970 --> 00:24:26,330 I think they're looking at themselves and saying we have a 455 00:24:26,330 --> 00:24:30,490 real legitimate shot at beating any of the teams above us 456 00:24:30,490 --> 00:24:32,370 because of how quality our offense is. 457 00:24:32,530 --> 00:24:35,570 We need to get into the top 25. We need to get some buzz going 458 00:24:35,570 --> 00:24:38,250 around this. We want to make a statement with 459 00:24:38,250 --> 00:24:41,810 this game and. You know, I do worry with I use 460 00:24:41,810 --> 00:24:44,810 defense, the the mentality they're going to have coming off 461 00:24:44,810 --> 00:24:46,690 that Akron game. We heard Tom Allen and his 462 00:24:46,690 --> 00:24:51,930 presser today say he's like the focus this week, which I mean, I 463 00:24:51,930 --> 00:24:56,130 would hope you're going into a Big 10 game on the road, but I I 464 00:24:56,130 --> 00:24:58,770 don't have a lot of of confidence in that because 465 00:24:58,770 --> 00:25:03,370 ultimately you've already given up 445 yards to this team on 466 00:25:03,370 --> 00:25:06,010 your home field and they look better offensively. 467 00:25:06,580 --> 00:25:08,700 This is a game where it feels like Indiana's going to have to 468 00:25:08,700 --> 00:25:13,060 force at least three turnovers just to try to blunt that, the 469 00:25:13,060 --> 00:25:16,820 spear edge of what Maryland's doing, and also give their 470 00:25:16,820 --> 00:25:20,180 offense a short field where they can start to operate and do some 471 00:25:20,180 --> 00:25:22,100 things differently than they've done in the last couple of 472 00:25:22,100 --> 00:25:24,860 weeks. Yeah, no, definitely. 473 00:25:24,900 --> 00:25:26,540 And you said they have to force 3 turnovers. 474 00:25:26,540 --> 00:25:28,420 That's as many as Maryland's committed all year. 475 00:25:28,860 --> 00:25:30,540 So they don't commit a lot of turnover. 476 00:25:30,540 --> 00:25:36,810 So I think, yeah, Galen, I mean. Let let me let me let me let me 477 00:25:36,810 --> 00:25:39,410 take this and and go with it. What Let's talk about Indiana's 478 00:25:39,410 --> 00:25:42,010 offense first and foremost before we get to that. 479 00:25:42,010 --> 00:25:43,610 Like the kind of the final segment here. 480 00:25:43,610 --> 00:25:50,170 So I can't figure out what Indiana's trying to do 481 00:25:50,170 --> 00:25:52,730 offensively anymore because they've gone from running a 482 00:25:52,730 --> 00:25:56,730 power option to passing the ball a bunch to the not passing the 483 00:25:56,730 --> 00:25:58,650 ball in situations where they they could. 484 00:25:58,650 --> 00:26:01,050 I mean, that feels like the most charitable. 485 00:26:02,060 --> 00:26:05,300 Evaluation of the Akron game is that they were really focused on 486 00:26:05,300 --> 00:26:08,340 trying to get their running game to work against a weak opponent. 487 00:26:08,820 --> 00:26:11,540 So they didn't feel like they had to pass and it almost bit 488 00:26:11,540 --> 00:26:15,220 them but ultimately did not. So they go into this Maryland 489 00:26:15,220 --> 00:26:18,020 game and I have to think that in their minds they're like we're 490 00:26:18,020 --> 00:26:20,420 we're going to have to move the ball through the air at least 491 00:26:20,420 --> 00:26:23,460 somewhat. So what is Indiana, in your 492 00:26:23,460 --> 00:26:26,870 opinion, need to do offensively? In the air. 493 00:26:26,870 --> 00:26:29,990 And then how do you and you know, based upon what you've 494 00:26:29,990 --> 00:26:34,110 seen and assuming that they're not going to have, you know, 495 00:26:34,110 --> 00:26:35,870 they're the normal compliment of running backs. 496 00:26:35,870 --> 00:26:37,430 I think Josh Henderson may still be out. 497 00:26:37,430 --> 00:26:39,830 We don't know because nobody's going to tell us anything. 498 00:26:40,550 --> 00:26:43,070 But if it's Christian Turner and Jalen Lucas in the backfield 499 00:26:43,070 --> 00:26:46,670 again, what do you think Indiana can do against this Maryland 500 00:26:46,670 --> 00:26:48,270 defense to give themselves a shot? 501 00:26:49,110 --> 00:26:52,070 Yeah, well, I mean, First off, pass the ball to Jalen Lucas. 502 00:26:53,300 --> 00:26:58,220 Is that is that allowed now? Apparently Week 4, you can't 503 00:26:58,220 --> 00:27:02,780 throw to Jalen Lucas, though. I, I, I he has the best 504 00:27:02,780 --> 00:27:05,220 receiving record of any pass catcher in the Big 10 or not 505 00:27:05,380 --> 00:27:08,060 receiving record receiving grade of any pass catcher in the Big 506 00:27:08,060 --> 00:27:09,340 10. And they didn't throw the ball 507 00:27:09,340 --> 00:27:10,940 last week. That's amazing. 508 00:27:11,020 --> 00:27:13,380 But no, throw the ball to Jalen Lucas. 509 00:27:14,700 --> 00:27:16,340 I thought, I thought Chris Turner. 510 00:27:16,340 --> 00:27:18,020 I thought he looked. Actually, I thought he looked 511 00:27:18,020 --> 00:27:19,000 good. He did, yeah. 512 00:27:19,040 --> 00:27:21,160 No, he was. I mean he didn't have a great 513 00:27:21,160 --> 00:27:25,320 yards per carry average, but he was effective at the times that 514 00:27:25,320 --> 00:27:26,640 they used him properly. Yeah. 515 00:27:27,120 --> 00:27:27,840 Yeah, yeah. No. 516 00:27:27,840 --> 00:27:30,920 And I think you if you fit, if you fit him into like a if you 517 00:27:30,920 --> 00:27:33,720 game plan for Chris Turner skill set, I think, you know, he can 518 00:27:33,720 --> 00:27:38,800 give you something there. You know, I think, I think you 519 00:27:38,800 --> 00:27:41,040 have to pass. I think you have to pass. 520 00:27:41,120 --> 00:27:44,280 Even though Maryland's defense is susceptible to the running 521 00:27:44,280 --> 00:27:46,500 attack. You know what do I think 522 00:27:46,500 --> 00:27:48,100 Indiana's going to do? I think they're going to try to 523 00:27:48,100 --> 00:27:52,940 run and but I think that they, I think they have to pass the ball 524 00:27:53,940 --> 00:27:58,220 and and I think they need I mean man, Galen, like Cam Camper has 525 00:27:58,220 --> 00:28:00,580 the 4th best receiving grade in the Big 10. 526 00:28:00,900 --> 00:28:03,900 They have two of the top five receiving grades in the Big 10 527 00:28:03,900 --> 00:28:06,940 on this offense. Why would you not pass more? 528 00:28:07,380 --> 00:28:14,570 And so I mean, yeah, I think I know I've talked a lot about 529 00:28:14,570 --> 00:28:18,250 rushing direction and things like that, but and a lot of 530 00:28:18,250 --> 00:28:20,690 people complain about, you know, running Jalen Lucas up the 531 00:28:20,690 --> 00:28:23,810 middle, which I get, you know, seeing seeing a little guy go up 532 00:28:23,810 --> 00:28:27,490 the middle is, is frustrating. But I think that they do. 533 00:28:27,490 --> 00:28:30,810 I think you need to get Chris Turner and you need to run him 534 00:28:30,810 --> 00:28:34,330 North and South because if they surrender this many yards at the 535 00:28:34,330 --> 00:28:36,690 line of scrimmage, you can't be running laterally. 536 00:28:36,850 --> 00:28:40,640 You have to run at them. And so that's what I want to see 537 00:28:40,640 --> 00:28:43,520 when they run the ball is I do want to see them run between the 538 00:28:43,520 --> 00:28:45,440 tackles. I want to see them run forward. 539 00:28:45,440 --> 00:28:46,880 I don't want to see them go side to side. 540 00:28:47,400 --> 00:28:53,160 And the option thing gets a little frustrating and I know 541 00:28:53,160 --> 00:28:55,760 everybody's voiced it. Taven's not the most mobile 542 00:28:55,760 --> 00:28:58,480 quarterback and when you compare them to some others who run the 543 00:28:58,480 --> 00:29:04,440 option and you know I would like I would like to see I would like 544 00:29:04,440 --> 00:29:07,430 to see them you know rip off like you know at least four 545 00:29:07,430 --> 00:29:11,430 yards a carry. So so yeah I mean that's that's 546 00:29:11,430 --> 00:29:12,950 what I think will give them the best shot. 547 00:29:12,950 --> 00:29:15,870 I think they can. I think they can cuz Wat Bell 548 00:29:15,870 --> 00:29:20,430 said that he wants to use the play action and so if you run if 549 00:29:20,430 --> 00:29:24,710 you run the ball at them and if they are really this week at on 550 00:29:24,790 --> 00:29:28,310 at the line of scrimmage and run defense and and I mean they have 551 00:29:28,310 --> 00:29:31,790 a decent pass rush though the linebackers are pretty good at 552 00:29:31,790 --> 00:29:35,150 pass rush but if you can get the play action going you can negate 553 00:29:35,150 --> 00:29:36,550 some of that. You can open up some space 554 00:29:36,550 --> 00:29:39,630 behind those linebackers and which are you know the 555 00:29:39,630 --> 00:29:41,790 linebacking core is kind of weak for Maryland anyway. 556 00:29:41,790 --> 00:29:44,350 But I think you can take advantage of some things in this 557 00:29:44,350 --> 00:29:47,430 Maryland defense and use it to your advantage and take some 558 00:29:47,430 --> 00:29:48,910 clock off like you were talking about. 559 00:29:49,030 --> 00:29:50,550 Yeah, I mean it's. It is. 560 00:29:50,550 --> 00:29:53,630 It's a really interesting thing because I you. 561 00:29:53,750 --> 00:29:59,430 Who has put themselves in a position where any opponent 562 00:29:59,430 --> 00:30:02,630 Maryland or anybody else. It's like why would I respect 563 00:30:02,630 --> 00:30:06,550 the run at this point. You know if I can defend the run 564 00:30:06,550 --> 00:30:09,950 with with four guys or or or five if I'm going to throw in 565 00:30:09,950 --> 00:30:13,990 the middle linebacker, I mean that allows me to do man 566 00:30:13,990 --> 00:30:16,550 coverage with everybody with with either a one or two deep 567 00:30:16,550 --> 00:30:17,950 zone. And now I'm, you know, I'm 568 00:30:17,950 --> 00:30:20,630 basically covered like in Taven Jackson doesn't have the 569 00:30:20,630 --> 00:30:22,830 experience to be able to pick that apart. 570 00:30:23,340 --> 00:30:26,380 So you're either going to have to figure out a way to do a lot 571 00:30:26,380 --> 00:30:29,660 of shorter yardage stuff to try to get Marilyn to look elsewhere 572 00:30:29,660 --> 00:30:32,580 other than the backfield. Or you're going to have to have 573 00:30:32,580 --> 00:30:36,260 some early success with the run where they can't commit minimal 574 00:30:36,260 --> 00:30:39,300 guys into the box and instead they're leaving Camper or 575 00:30:39,580 --> 00:30:42,900 they're leaving Donovan McCauley open or at least single covered 576 00:30:42,900 --> 00:30:44,780 where you can take advantage of their size. 577 00:30:45,500 --> 00:30:48,340 Obviously we help if you could catch the ball when it's thrown 578 00:30:48,340 --> 00:30:50,100 to you as well. That was that was a little bit 579 00:30:50,100 --> 00:30:53,910 of a trouble last week, but. You know it it is a really tough 580 00:30:53,910 --> 00:30:56,510 spot that Indiana's found themselves backed into and and 581 00:30:56,510 --> 00:30:58,830 they've only got themselves to blame at this point because it 582 00:30:58,830 --> 00:31:03,430 just isn't an offense that's demanded a lot of respect. 583 00:31:03,790 --> 00:31:08,550 And that's even, I mean, you know, you can even look at the 584 00:31:08,550 --> 00:31:10,230 the second-half of the Louisville game. 585 00:31:10,230 --> 00:31:13,590 I mean that they had one really good drive that didn't yield 586 00:31:13,590 --> 00:31:18,950 points and then they had a short field drive and it's you know 587 00:31:18,950 --> 00:31:21,460 that. We always hear about Ben, but 588 00:31:21,460 --> 00:31:24,020 don't break in relation to Indiana and their defense. 589 00:31:24,020 --> 00:31:27,540 And if I'm the opposing defense, I'm like, we don't have to give 590 00:31:27,540 --> 00:31:30,220 up any big plays because Indiana's running game isn't 591 00:31:30,220 --> 00:31:33,020 going to generate them, at least from what we've seen so far. 592 00:31:33,300 --> 00:31:36,860 And Indiana's passing game probably isn't going to generate 593 00:31:36,860 --> 00:31:40,460 those as well. And as you said, I mean, I think 594 00:31:40,460 --> 00:31:44,460 the the defensive pass rush, it's not stellar coming from 595 00:31:44,460 --> 00:31:48,130 Maryland, but it's also not bad. And Indiana's been it was. 596 00:31:48,250 --> 00:31:50,450 It was interesting, kind of watching the regression to the 597 00:31:50,450 --> 00:31:53,770 mean happen with the sacks last week, because while they hadn't 598 00:31:53,770 --> 00:31:56,410 let Tavin Jackson arrive, any of the quarterbacks get sacked up 599 00:31:56,410 --> 00:31:59,330 to that point. The offensive line pass blocking 600 00:31:59,330 --> 00:32:03,610 grades have been pretty poor for this I U offensive line thus far 601 00:32:03,610 --> 00:32:06,690 and that was eventually going to yield something bad. 602 00:32:07,510 --> 00:32:10,190 Yeah, no I'm I've talked about like how I'm watching the front 603 00:32:10,190 --> 00:32:12,870 seven on the defense. I'm watching Khalil Benson this 604 00:32:12,870 --> 00:32:15,190 week. He's he's had a couple of really 605 00:32:15,190 --> 00:32:18,910 rough pass blocking games. I mean surrendering like an 606 00:32:19,830 --> 00:32:23,110 insane number I think. I think he surrendered 13 607 00:32:23,150 --> 00:32:29,870 defensive pressures in two games and and the most all season for 608 00:32:29,870 --> 00:32:32,890 in the Big 10 is 14. He's tied for the most but that 609 00:32:32,890 --> 00:32:35,650 he surrendered 13 of those in two games. 610 00:32:35,890 --> 00:32:40,130 So I'm watching Khalil Benson a right tackle and yeah, yeah, I 611 00:32:40,130 --> 00:32:43,650 mean yeah, you're right. And so it seems like for some 612 00:32:43,650 --> 00:32:46,770 reason the past blocking it started Okay and that was kind 613 00:32:46,770 --> 00:32:51,690 of trending downward. And yeah, no, I'm curious to see 614 00:32:51,690 --> 00:32:53,730 how that, how the offensive line holds up. 615 00:32:54,410 --> 00:32:59,140 And like I said, I don't think this defensive front from 616 00:32:59,140 --> 00:33:02,460 Maryland is super strong and I think that could come back to 617 00:33:02,460 --> 00:33:04,260 bite them in this game against Indiana. 618 00:33:04,900 --> 00:33:08,580 But I mean, I don't think Indiana has necessarily a really 619 00:33:08,580 --> 00:33:13,100 big bite. So how badly is that going to 620 00:33:13,100 --> 00:33:14,580 bite them? Yeah, absolutely. 621 00:33:16,580 --> 00:33:22,580 And I think, yeah, yeah, no, I'm kind of, kind of, I'm at a 622 00:33:22,580 --> 00:33:24,660 little bit of a loss here. I've managed to. 623 00:33:24,700 --> 00:33:27,020 I've managed to. Tongue tie Taylor on this game. 624 00:33:27,020 --> 00:33:29,420 But that's the thing though. I mean and and it will finish 625 00:33:29,420 --> 00:33:30,860 off with this. I mean this is kind of the 626 00:33:30,860 --> 00:33:36,020 conundrum with this I U team. We're we're waiting for phase 627 00:33:36,020 --> 00:33:38,780 two of the 2023 season to kick in. 628 00:33:39,340 --> 00:33:43,100 And I think everybody just kind of hoping that what we've seen 629 00:33:43,100 --> 00:33:46,580 out of Indiana collectively over the first eight halves of the 630 00:33:46,580 --> 00:33:51,020 season is not actually Indiana in 2023. 631 00:33:51,340 --> 00:33:53,260 There have been some good individual moments. 632 00:33:53,460 --> 00:33:57,780 But when you put it all together and you really think about like 633 00:33:57,780 --> 00:34:00,340 how they perform or take the Indiana State game out of it to 634 00:34:00,340 --> 00:34:02,900 a large degree because that that's such a bad team, 635 00:34:02,900 --> 00:34:06,420 unfortunately. So you just take the six halves, 636 00:34:07,020 --> 00:34:09,219 it really doesn't paint a very positive picture. 637 00:34:09,219 --> 00:34:13,580 And you know, Maryland, this might be the worst opponent to 638 00:34:13,580 --> 00:34:15,500 face at this point in the season. 639 00:34:15,500 --> 00:34:18,860 Because I feel like if you're facing Michigan here, if you're 640 00:34:18,860 --> 00:34:22,780 facing Penn State, there's a justification if you get your 641 00:34:22,780 --> 00:34:25,699 doors blown off because obviously those teams are light 642 00:34:25,699 --> 00:34:28,340 years ahead of you. Talent wise, Maryland should be 643 00:34:28,340 --> 00:34:31,260 on your level. I mean, Maryland was, I think, 644 00:34:31,460 --> 00:34:36,030 demonstrably below Indiana. In 2019 and 2020. 645 00:34:36,389 --> 00:34:40,150 And to watch Maryland, you know, have a pretty good season last 646 00:34:40,150 --> 00:34:43,510 year and look better this year thus far through four games. 647 00:34:44,400 --> 00:34:46,840 You know, and especially a team that you were right there with 648 00:34:47,080 --> 00:34:50,400 for the game last year when you weren't that good, if you know 649 00:34:50,400 --> 00:34:51,880 this is an interesting barometer. 650 00:34:52,159 --> 00:34:55,080 So I'm hopeful that you know Indiana's able to put what's 651 00:34:55,080 --> 00:34:57,840 happened behind them, really come out with a solid, well 652 00:34:57,840 --> 00:35:01,800 focused game plan that effectively moves the ball and 653 00:35:01,800 --> 00:35:04,640 that they get some some better performances out of their 654 00:35:04,640 --> 00:35:06,600 defense than what they got last week. 655 00:35:06,600 --> 00:35:10,320 Certainly, because I think if they can show that they can play 656 00:35:10,320 --> 00:35:15,560 with Maryland that. Creates an environment where 657 00:35:15,560 --> 00:35:18,720 you're you know you don't feel like you've taken significant 658 00:35:18,720 --> 00:35:21,000 steps back from the start of the season. 659 00:35:21,000 --> 00:35:23,240 You can be like Okay we shook off the Akron game. 660 00:35:23,720 --> 00:35:26,360 You know win or lose. In the road trip to Maryland. 661 00:35:26,360 --> 00:35:28,520 We performed well. We were competitive down the 662 00:35:28,520 --> 00:35:31,240 stretch. I But I also feel like of all 663 00:35:31,240 --> 00:35:34,080 the opponents other than maybe Rutgers, this might be the worst 664 00:35:34,080 --> 00:35:36,320 opponent if Indiana plays very poorly against. 665 00:35:36,750 --> 00:35:39,430 Because now you've lost another game to a divisional opponent. 666 00:35:39,630 --> 00:35:42,830 Now you're 2:00 and 3:00 and you're facing Michigan in the 667 00:35:42,830 --> 00:35:45,150 next game and so you're likely to be two and four. 668 00:35:45,150 --> 00:35:47,230 And it's like now things have really started to spin out of 669 00:35:47,230 --> 00:35:48,470 control. I don't know. 670 00:35:48,470 --> 00:35:52,830 I mean it's it's weird to think like you know we we it's not I 671 00:35:52,830 --> 00:35:55,470 don't believe in must wins until they're actually must wins. 672 00:35:55,470 --> 00:35:59,310 But from a momentum and an atmosphere perspective, you 673 00:35:59,310 --> 00:36:01,820 know. Struggling with Akron and then 674 00:36:01,860 --> 00:36:04,540 really struggling against Maryland will be a really tough 675 00:36:04,540 --> 00:36:08,980 1-2 gut punch combination for this program as it's trying to 676 00:36:08,980 --> 00:36:11,460 find its footing and kind of get back up on things. 677 00:36:12,020 --> 00:36:14,260 Yeah, no, absolutely. You can kind of explain away 678 00:36:14,260 --> 00:36:16,900 some of the things that happened in the in the first four games, 679 00:36:16,900 --> 00:36:18,340 right? Like, you know, you have that 680 00:36:18,340 --> 00:36:20,660 first half against Louisville with the defense, but the 681 00:36:20,660 --> 00:36:24,270 second-half looked much better. And so you know, I remember 682 00:36:24,270 --> 00:36:27,110 leaving that game and thinking do we actually know more about 683 00:36:27,110 --> 00:36:30,670 this team And then Akron kind of proved that maybe we we did so, 684 00:36:31,390 --> 00:36:33,990 but, but you then, I mean you could say for Akron, even you 685 00:36:33,990 --> 00:36:35,830 could say that, you know, maybe they were. 686 00:36:36,390 --> 00:36:38,070 Maybe it's like a trap game. They're looking to head to 687 00:36:38,070 --> 00:36:40,070 Maryland or in the Big 10 season or something. 688 00:36:40,070 --> 00:36:43,590 They didn't take them seriously. They know you can try to explain 689 00:36:43,590 --> 00:36:47,110 away those first four games. But this one, I mean you, you 690 00:36:47,110 --> 00:36:50,190 can't explain anything away in this one. 691 00:36:50,190 --> 00:36:53,240 This one. This one is like you were 692 00:36:53,240 --> 00:36:57,320 saying, like you, there is no excuse for this game. 693 00:36:57,360 --> 00:37:01,840 And so, you know, what we see is kind of what we're going to get. 694 00:37:01,960 --> 00:37:06,760 And I think there is, I think there is some room for optimism. 695 00:37:06,840 --> 00:37:11,720 Absolutely. But but yeah, I think after this 696 00:37:11,720 --> 00:37:15,040 game it's we're going to know exactly how long this season's 697 00:37:15,040 --> 00:37:18,120 going to feel. No, I also wanted to say GAIL 698 00:37:18,120 --> 00:37:22,290 and I forgot to mention earlier, the three specific players who 699 00:37:22,290 --> 00:37:25,690 I'm watching on defense are Andre Carter, Aaron Casey and 700 00:37:25,690 --> 00:37:28,770 Jacob Mangum Farrar. They played terribly against 701 00:37:28,770 --> 00:37:30,810 Akron. They were not good at all. 702 00:37:30,850 --> 00:37:35,210 And so those guys are going to have to play well in this game 703 00:37:35,210 --> 00:37:38,810 for if they want to win and and I think that's I'm going to be 704 00:37:38,810 --> 00:37:40,410 watching them on defense. I think that's going to be 705 00:37:40,410 --> 00:37:42,230 pretty telling of the defense as well, Yeah. 706 00:37:42,310 --> 00:37:44,150 And I use in general. No, it is. 707 00:37:44,150 --> 00:37:45,750 I mean, I think. You know, there's a lot of guys 708 00:37:45,750 --> 00:37:47,950 on defense that really need to have kind of the game of their 709 00:37:47,950 --> 00:37:50,950 lives in this one, you know? And this is a good time to do it 710 00:37:50,950 --> 00:37:53,750 because hey, you're coming off a really bad performance where 711 00:37:54,310 --> 00:37:57,150 everybody underperformed. You're going to get games like 712 00:37:57,150 --> 00:37:59,630 that, you know? And that's not, we can highlight 713 00:37:59,630 --> 00:38:04,070 that guys had games where they really struggled without it 714 00:38:04,070 --> 00:38:06,350 being, you know, anything other than just a professional 715 00:38:06,350 --> 00:38:07,830 critique of how they were playing. 716 00:38:08,670 --> 00:38:12,590 But this is where you make right and you know if it's again, if 717 00:38:12,590 --> 00:38:17,830 it's true that Indiana just the the the the core issue was that 718 00:38:17,830 --> 00:38:21,070 they didn't take Akron seriously and that now they're taking it 719 00:38:21,070 --> 00:38:23,510 seriously and that they're they've gotten their attention. 720 00:38:24,030 --> 00:38:27,870 I think this is where maybe it isn't out of the question that 721 00:38:27,910 --> 00:38:31,670 you see the defense has a really good game and you have C 722 00:38:31,670 --> 00:38:34,190 individual defensive players have really good games. 723 00:38:34,470 --> 00:38:36,430 Indiana's going to need it because. 724 00:38:37,100 --> 00:38:38,980 You know, you look at what Michigan, what Maryland did to 725 00:38:38,980 --> 00:38:42,020 Michigan State last week and that's a Michigan State team 726 00:38:42,020 --> 00:38:44,300 that is certainly on the ropes. They were coming off a really 727 00:38:44,300 --> 00:38:47,020 bad loss to Washington, but they didn't look like they belong on 728 00:38:47,020 --> 00:38:50,420 the same field as Maryland for large stretches of that game. 729 00:38:50,780 --> 00:38:54,460 And you know, as bad as Michigan State's been and as much of A 730 00:38:54,460 --> 00:38:57,020 cloud is over that program, I still think they've probably got 731 00:38:57,420 --> 00:39:01,460 better overall talent from you know recruiting stars 732 00:39:01,460 --> 00:39:03,980 perspective than Indiana does which. 733 00:39:04,760 --> 00:39:07,160 You, you, you add in that Maryland's going to be at home 734 00:39:07,160 --> 00:39:08,280 at this. I mean, it's really going to 735 00:39:08,280 --> 00:39:10,400 take some guys stepping out and stepping up. 736 00:39:11,240 --> 00:39:12,840 Coming off of what happened last week. 737 00:39:13,520 --> 00:39:15,000 Yeah. No, absolutely. 738 00:39:15,040 --> 00:39:17,800 I agree. Yeah, I don't really have 739 00:39:17,800 --> 00:39:20,880 anything else to add to that. I think you summed it up pretty 740 00:39:20,880 --> 00:39:23,440 well. Yeah, I I could see it. 741 00:39:23,560 --> 00:39:27,190 I could see it going many different directions and and I 742 00:39:27,190 --> 00:39:30,590 think, yeah, that's why I remember you and I talked 743 00:39:30,590 --> 00:39:34,190 earlier before the season began about which games are we going 744 00:39:34,190 --> 00:39:38,150 to learn the most about IU and you had mentioned Louisville 745 00:39:38,150 --> 00:39:41,550 which I believe we did. But this one, I think this is 746 00:39:41,550 --> 00:39:44,630 the one that I was watching for and I think we're kind of I 747 00:39:44,630 --> 00:39:46,510 think we're gonna learn a lot about this team in this one. 748 00:39:46,630 --> 00:39:49,230 We didn't anticipate that Akron game being the way that it was, 749 00:39:49,630 --> 00:39:52,070 but I think we're gonna learn a lot about this team. 750 00:39:52,430 --> 00:39:54,230 Yeah, I mean, look at the. End of the day, I mean, this is 751 00:39:54,230 --> 00:39:56,790 a Maryland team that has, you know, they they struggled in a 752 00:39:56,790 --> 00:39:58,590 lot of games last year and they won them. 753 00:39:58,590 --> 00:40:00,070 I mean, they were really on the razor's edge. 754 00:40:00,070 --> 00:40:02,990 They they, they only beat SMU by 7. 755 00:40:03,830 --> 00:40:06,270 You know, they lost at Michigan by 7, which was impressive. 756 00:40:06,270 --> 00:40:08,830 But then they turned around and lost at home to Purdue, which 757 00:40:08,830 --> 00:40:11,030 was one of the more baffling games of last year. 758 00:40:12,030 --> 00:40:13,750 They barely beat Indiana on the road. 759 00:40:13,750 --> 00:40:15,590 They barely beat Northwestern on the road. 760 00:40:15,870 --> 00:40:20,200 They they lost to Wisconsin. But then you know they but they 761 00:40:20,200 --> 00:40:22,200 won their bowl game. They beat North Carolina State 762 00:40:22,200 --> 00:40:24,520 and you know they they kind of squeaked. 763 00:40:24,680 --> 00:40:26,880 If you can squeak to an 8 and five record. 764 00:40:26,880 --> 00:40:29,560 They kind of squeaked to an 8 and five record last year. 765 00:40:29,840 --> 00:40:35,680 But they they do really look like a a team that needed a 766 00:40:35,680 --> 00:40:40,440 season like that to learn how to win and now they've learned how 767 00:40:40,440 --> 00:40:42,480 to win. And there's just a real, I mean, 768 00:40:42,520 --> 00:40:45,160 and even in the, like I said, I think before you jumped on the 769 00:40:45,160 --> 00:40:48,150 podcast, even then that game against Charlotte where they 770 00:40:48,150 --> 00:40:51,790 struggled for about the 1st 2 1/2 quarters, they really put it 771 00:40:51,790 --> 00:40:54,350 together in the last part of that game and then left with 772 00:40:54,550 --> 00:40:56,590 basically no doubt about who was the better team. 773 00:40:56,590 --> 00:41:00,630 And so that'll be interesting. I mean, I'm, I'm hopeful maybe 774 00:41:00,630 --> 00:41:02,430 we'll get a reverse. Maybe Maryland won't take 775 00:41:02,430 --> 00:41:05,590 Indiana seriously and Indiana will be able to use that to 776 00:41:05,590 --> 00:41:08,190 their advantage. So yeah, look, do we have the 777 00:41:08,190 --> 00:41:12,150 S&P prediction was 35 to 14? What would be your prediction in 778 00:41:12,150 --> 00:41:13,830 this one? Oh man. 779 00:41:15,550 --> 00:41:18,790 On the road. Can this offense score 14 780 00:41:18,790 --> 00:41:22,950 points? I I OK, I'll say. 781 00:41:22,950 --> 00:41:28,390 I'll say, like I'll say 2710 Maryland, OK, I think, I think 782 00:41:28,390 --> 00:41:30,670 Maryland. I unfortunately feel like 783 00:41:30,670 --> 00:41:32,310 they're going to score a lot of points in this game. 784 00:41:32,310 --> 00:41:34,830 Like this feels like one of those death Blossom kind of 785 00:41:34,830 --> 00:41:36,750 games that that gets out of control. 786 00:41:37,710 --> 00:41:41,350 I also, I have my doubts about Indiana's offense on the road 787 00:41:41,750 --> 00:41:44,230 given that they troubled at home even. 788 00:41:44,230 --> 00:41:51,040 And so I'm going to say probably I'll say Maryland wins 41 to 16. 789 00:41:51,560 --> 00:41:54,080 I think it's going to be one of those games where it look I 790 00:41:54,080 --> 00:41:56,560 think to some degree I think Indiana's going to, they still 791 00:41:56,560 --> 00:41:58,440 haven't demonstrated they can score in the red zone. 792 00:41:58,440 --> 00:42:02,070 So like, even if they get into that area, I worry about their 793 00:42:02,070 --> 00:42:04,790 ability to execute. And I think you might end up 794 00:42:04,790 --> 00:42:07,270 with Indiana moving the ball a bit because, you know, I think 795 00:42:07,270 --> 00:42:09,350 they will play better than they played against Akron, but having 796 00:42:09,350 --> 00:42:11,670 to settle for a lot of field goals because they can't get the 797 00:42:11,670 --> 00:42:14,110 ball into the end zone. So hope I'm wrong. 798 00:42:14,310 --> 00:42:17,030 Hope you're writer but not completely right. 799 00:42:17,430 --> 00:42:19,030 We'll see what happens with everything. 800 00:42:19,030 --> 00:42:21,630 But Taylor, thank you.
