What Worked and What Didn’t for the Hoosiers Against Maryland
Written by Andrew Walker
Indiana got beat tonight. This was as good of a game as we’ve seen in a while. Good is a point of view, but in terms of overall entertainment, this game was great. Now to Indiana. Indiana had some truly wonderful moments through the air tonight, but there were just too many mistakes. Defensively, Indiana just couldn’t capitalize on Taulia Tagovailoa’s injury. All the best to Tagovailoa, I hope it isn’t as serious as it appears, but Indiana couldn’t take advantage of a different QB scheme. Let’s take a look at what worked and what didn’t.
Turnovers Cost IU in 38-33 Loss to Maryland
Written by: TJ Inman (@TJHoosierHuddle)
The Indiana Hoosiers entered Saturday’s home game against the Maryland Terrapins with three straight losses and fresh off of firing their offensive line coach. The coaching staff change was meant to reinvigorate a team that was limping into the back-half of the schedule and hopefully save a once-promising season. While the offensive line looked better at times, IU still struggled to run the ball and three turnovers plus a costly defensive penalty ensured another disappointing loss for the Hoosiers as they fell late to Maryland with a poor fourth quarter. Connor Bazelak threw for 292 yards and Josh Henderson had two touchdowns to lead the Hoosiers in the 38-33 defeat.

Match-up to Watch: Indiana Hoosiers vs. Maryland Terrapins
Written by Sammy Jacobs (@Hoosier_Huddle)
The Indiana Hoosiers (3-3,1-2) take on the Maryland Terrapins (4-2, 1-2) on Saturday in Bloomington. For the Hoosiers it is a swing game that could very well determine how the rest of the season goes. Changes have been made on the coaching staff following a three-game losing streak as IU tries to fix what ails them. Maryland has dropped two of their last three including a heartbreaker against Purdue last week. They bring a high-powered passing attack to Memorial Stadium and it is up to the IU defense to try and slow them down. That is why Indiana’s secondary versus the Maryland passing game is our match-up to watch.
