He was right to call the Big Ten "Old Man Football", however.

 

Still a Cyclone state, b****es.

 

Way to go Cyclones! :headbang

I don't know what the hell UofI is doing with their QBs. Today I learned that our third QB's name is Osei. Unfortunately he had to throw a couple picks for me to learn his name...I don't like injuries.

It could be worse. You could be an Arkansas fan who just found out that Brandon Allen is their backup QB. (No, not that Brandon Allen)

Ferguson and Young have been the only bright spots. It's bad.

Comeback starts now!!!!!!

well that sucked.

The Big 10 is unbelievably bad. There is an astonishing lack of talent on offense in the conference right now.

IU lost Sophomore QB Tre Roberson for the year with a broken leg. He was by far our best guy on offense, too. I still am hoping for good things from our running game.

It's way too early but from watching the first 2 games I almost think we might have downgraded with this coaching staff... At least Zook could recruit.

2 games with a brand new staff and scheme in place, yeah seems like a logical time to make that assessment.

Apparently not in the running QB category.

I only really follow Big Ten football, not a college football fan, and these games are indeed hard to watch. Not fun watching Michigan miss tackles or get juked by ball carriers. Bowl season will be ugly.

The SEC, ACC and PAC 12 were embarrassed a bit yesterday as well. Lots of parity this year below the top 2-3 teams it appears.

 

In the Big ten only NW beat an AQ team yesterday though UCF was probably the best team that was beat.

Iowa has the dreaded combination of a QB who's not very accurate and takes forever getting rid of the ball, and receivers who have a tough time getting open and a tough time just catching a ball thrown right to them.

Unbelievable.

 

Well first of all the Western Michigan game was excellent on the coaching side compared to Zook.

 

Recruit? He's been here for half a class.

 

BTW, go check some of the commits he has in the 2013 and 2014 class.

ESPN Gameday is coming to Knoxville! And we're finally ranked again for the first time since '08. Ugh, it's been a long, tough road to get back there. Can't wait.

I'd go hang out in the morning crowd...but I'd be wearing Indiana stuff and people would laugh at me.

The recruiting comment was more of a statement on Zooks ability to get top talent despite results. West Michigan was a hack team and the team we just got destroyed by probably ends the year unranked.

Great, we have someone who can recruit but can't coach. If you want Zook, you need to stop watching football.

 

You're uneducated on Western Michigan (and first game for this entire team and staff, and it was a W).

 

Last night set up to get beat, period. That offense is good. They could be ranked at some point.

 

Whatever, fans like you are why coaches have zero chance.

Yes, because I said fire the staff. Unless something happens or the coaching is beyond horrific he should get at least 3 years. Only Illinois fans think Western Michigan is any good and it is funny.

With Zook we had a .500 team with NFL talent and a coach who kept you on your toes.

 

Now we have a .500 team with mediocre talent and a boring coach.

 

Advantage Zook.

This has to be sarcasm, there's just no way a sane person can see it this way.

I'm a sane person with realistic expectations for Illinois football. Plus, Zook can barefoot like a mofo.

Zook's recruiting was terrible his last few classes.
