I watched the game, and the loss is inexcusable and unforgiveable. They had the game under control, but let Northwestern back in the game due to a total boneheaded coaching call that anybod that follows college football would know better than to make. When you have a redshirt freshman coming into the game at quarterback cold on 3rd-and 6 you ABSOLUTELY DO NOT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES ask him to pass. You run the ball and if necessary punt and play defense. The result was so predictable; interception, touchdown Northwestern, and they're back in the game. That one call could well wind up costing the Hoosiers the entire season. If that happens they should not under any circumstances consider Lynch for the permanent head coaching job. This is the same coach who led Ball State to consecutive seasons of 1-10 and 0-11, after all. You captured my thoughts perfectly. It is such a major breakdown in proper coaching strategy that I really can't trust Bill Lynch anymore. If he is dumb enough to allow that to happen, who knows what is next? This Indiana team should be bowling. If they lose to Purdue and miss getting a bowl invite, it will be the worst waste of talent I've seen in my lifetime. This Hoosier squad, with the schedule they have, should be bowling no question about it.
