Wideouts have zero catch with one target. Tight ends seem to be our targets today. Their DEs are killing us.

Yeah, the real mistake was not throwing the ball away when the play was initially blown up a few seconds earlier.
To be fair, there was a player in his face immediately and he was hounded the entire play. And he also wasn't out of the pocket (another condition to avoid a grounding call). I don't think throwing it away was an easy thing to do that play.

I’m afraid Chiles is cooked for the day. Holds it forever and takes another sack instead of throwing it away. I know he’s the guy but this is not his day. Maybe Marchiol will get some time.

Good coverage by Indiana in 3rd down but Chiles needs to either run or get rid of the ball. Too much hesitation/indecision. The Indiana defense is dominating our offense. Our defense has kept up in the game so far.

Their edges are athletic and disciplined enough that he can’t just get free and take off every play, there was nothing there

is our oline that bad tonight or is their dline just that damn good
The latter definitely. The former a little. This is a lot of the same d line that dominated Ohio state and won them a national title last year.

also awesome coverage, even if there is an initial little pocket there is nowhere to go
