Initial Post Game Reaction

That was a really tough one to swallow. The interception call down the stretch doesn't go our way but there is nothing we can do about it now. Overall here are some generally thoughts:
1. The hoosiers played very well. Every time Forcier dropped back the hoosiers applied constant pressure on him throughout the entire game. Outside of the first couple of Michigan drives the Hoosiers did a great job containing the QB, getting pressure on him, and stopping the run.
2. Darius Willis is going to be a very good running back. Making that huge run for a TD on the road in front of 108,000 people was pretty big time. He started out as the number 1 back and played a good game throughout.
3. Chappell played very well as well. He remained poised in the pocket the whole game and made good throws. I like the call on 4th and 2 with the throw to Dedmond. He made smart passes and never threw balls into tight coverage for the most part. We need to convert more in the red zone instead of having 1 TD and 4 field goals.
4. It was nice to see Bill Lynch showing some emotion. Usually when things go bad he just sits back and takes it. Not this game. He was fired up for most of the game and it was nice to see him really fighting for our team.
5. It was also nice to see the play book open up a lot. Mitch Evans played very well in the wildcat and we did different things than him just running up the right or left seam. The triple option to Doss for the score was a very good play. The play where the line set up on the left side and Chappell and the center lined up on the right was a nice thing to see. It was good to see us change it up the play call and get creative.
I will post more tomorrow with more stats and position analysis. Photo complements of the IDS.
What are your thoughts on how we played?
