…not so much.
The defense really let us down this week and I’m not sure if it was a fluke or just our depth issues coming to light. I couldn’t help thinking the defensive backfield looked really sluggish Saturday night. Short passes turned into big gains as they ran away from our defensive backs.. most of them numbers I didn’t recognize.. but still.
I saw a few things on offense that disturbed me as well. Even with the good numbers Braxton ended up with, it was touch and go there for awhile. Indiana did a good job of cluttering up the running lanes for Braxton and keeping him under control for awhile. That opened things up down the field, but our receivers again proved that catching the ball can be an issue at times.
The defensive backs also appeared to be wearing slick gloves as well. If they had held on to half of the balls that hit them in the hands, the game would not have been close.

Here’s hoping that Urban can put a finger on the issues and a boot up some butts to get things straightened out before Purdue next week.
