Matchup to Watch: Peyton Ramsey Plus Mike DeBord

Matchup to Watch: Peyton Ramsey Plus Mike DeBord

Written By Alex Compton (@alexncompton)

IU’s defense unfortunately won’t get the credit it deserves for its play last weekend, but what else is new. The Hoosiers went on the road to Happy Valley and remained winless there after playing an incredibly undisciplined first fifteen minutes and essentially giving Penn State a 28-0 lead. That’s much too large of a hole to climb out of on the road against a ranked opponent, and the Hoosiers were never able to get within 14 points on the day. Tegray Scales had himself a nice day with 3 sacks, and Barkley was held pretty much in check by him all game which was nice to see. This game coming up on Saturday should get out of hand early, which is why this matchup to watch will be a little bit different.

Kevin Wilson had some dynamic offenses at Indiana, there’s no other way of putting that. Wilson featured a pass-happy offense at first that slowly developed into a balanced attack capable of putting every team in the Big Ten on watch for a given weekend. The offense was not as successful last year due to a lackluster running game, but the passing game was still solid, checking in at 23rd in the country according to the S&P+. Despite the decent numbers on offense last season and the insane numbers that Wilson put up on O during his tenure, there was one gripe that was legitimate from year to year. What was it? Throw the ball to the tight ends!
