The IU football team has been having a rough go at stopping opposing offenses lately.
The Hoosiers (2-5, 0-4) have let up an even 100 points in their last
two games, and an average of 40 points per game on their current
five-game skid.
“I think we got banged up a little bit mentally,” junior safety Nick
Polk said. “But the guys have come together, and we have said we are
going to stick together and pull through this.”
Slowing the landslide of points won’t get any easier this Homecoming
weekend, when the Hoosiers welcome to Bloomington the Northwestern
Wildcats, a team with two dynamic facets to its offensive attack.
The first head on the Wildcats’ offensive front is tailback Tyrell Sutton.
Sutton comes into Saturday’s contest averaging just shy of 100 yards on
the ground per game. But Sutton also comes out of the backfield to make
big catches for NU. The Akron, Ohio, native has 28 grabs for 262 yards
so far this season, with two touchdowns.
Sutton is a smaller back – at 5-foot-9, 205 pounds – than the last two
backs to run over the Hoosiers: Shonn Greene of Iowa and Jason Ford of
Illinois. Greene had 115 yards and a score in Bloomington on Oct. 11,
and Ford had 172 yards and three scores last weekend against IU.
But senior safety Austin Thomas warned Sutton is bigger in person than what paper shows.
“Wait till you see this guy’s legs,” Thomas said. “He’s a thick guy. He
is a little quicker in space than Shonn Greene and Ford, who we played
the other night. But he’s quick; he’s a good back.”
Sutton helps to distract defenses from quarterback C.J. Bachér, who is equally formidable.
After Bachér lit up opposing teams for 3,656 yards, seventh-most in Big
Ten history, Sporting News named the California native the Big Ten’s
“Best Player Under Pressure.”
In seven games, Bachér has tallied solid offensive numbers, including a
112.6 passing efficiency, 1,545 yards through the air with 10
touchdowns. Bachér can also run – he has two rushing scores and 180 net
yards.

Halting the negative momentum a four-game losing streak carries will
not be easy for the IU football team (2-4). Making the task more
difficult will be the possible absence of the Hoosiers’ offensive
catalyst, Kellen Lewis.
During practices this week, Lewis wore a protective gray immobilizing
boot around his right ankle, nursing what IU coach Bill Lynch called a
high-ankle sprain.
“(We) went through halftime, got it re-taped and all that, and we
thought that it would loosen up and we’d get him going in the second
half, and it never loosened up," Lynch said of Lewis' injury sustained
against Iowa. “Some athletes bounce back pretty quickly. He really
hasn’t been hurt much, so we haven’t really been through this in terms
of how quickly he can bounce back. Certainly, we’re hopeful that a guy
like that can bounce back quicker than our 300-pound guys, just because
of his body type.”

More than 55 percent of the IU football team’s offensive production was in a protective boot Tuesday.
IU coach Bill Lynch said junior quarterback Kellen Lewis sustained a
high ankle sprain during last Saturday’s 45-9 loss to Iowa, the team’s
fourth consecutive loss, and is listed as questionable for this
weekend’s contest at Illinois.Audio: Lynch's press conference

Word from Bill Lynch's weekly address to the media today is that Kellen Lewis is questionable for Saturday's game at Illinois.

Following a 45-9 loss to Iowa in Bloomington, IU coach Bill Lynch played it straight.
“You have to do something in the kicking game. Go get a turnover, do
something offensively” he said. “They beat us just about every way.”
It would be hard to disagree.
On offense, IU capped off only two drives in a dozen with scores, and the Hoosiers were only in Hawkeye territory five times.

Almost got to give props to Bruce Weber on this one.

Due to rain, Zach's and my managerial debuts were bumped back a day. But as expected we dominated, taking the reigns of the Cream squad and leading them to a 6-2 win over the Crimson. And by taking the reigns and leading them, I really mean we had no idea what we were doing and were more than thankful for the talent bestowed upon our lineup.

Below this AP photo is an AP story that ran earlier today. Ex-Hoosier Tracy Porter dislocated his wrist against Minnesota as some of you may have saw. The injury required surgery and since the Saints have put Porter on their injured reserve list, meaning his rookie year is kaput.
