No IKM- Fant is a maybe

[spliff45]

per Iowa beat writers. IKM didn’t make the trip

This will be interesting. If I'm being honest with what my eyes are seeing to this point in the season...i think Toren Young is our best back running the ball. He isn't maybe going to break a long one consistently...but he hits the hole hard...gets positive yardage on contact and just looks like a guy that people don't want to see coming in the fourth quarter. I like IKM alot and Sargent also...I just don't understand why Toren doesn't get more carries.

Hopefully, like NIU, this may be a breakout game for him.

Willie's not gonna be happy.

Any word on Indiana’s OT who left the game vs OSU?

 

[spliff45]

Brents and Moss are starting again. Hankins and OJ are available

Willies broke his collarbone, but I think Shimonek, AJ Derby, Jake Rudock, and Juan Harris are still healthy. I think I'll start a thread about it to keep everyone updated on them, their health, and their progress.

As pass-heavy as we have been, I don't think the loss of IKM is going to matter much. I think our defense will be good enough to keep us in it, but also think we have the Moxie to keep up with Indiana if it becomes a shootout.

Agreed. And add to that the fact that Young, Sargent, and Geil will make a good 3-headed monster, this is an injury I'm not as worried about.

Fant would be a huge loss. He is Stanley's security blanket inside the ten yard line.

Maybe they have been incorporating Brandon Smith during the week in some goal line packages. That's the next step in his progression, being a threat in the red zone.

Slants to Smith inside the 10 yard line would be amazing

The good left tackle for Indy is out. Hopefully that helps us

Who's our next TE? I know Wieting plays a lot, but is a blocker. He's caught 1 pass, and that was from Mansell and no other TE that has caught a pass. Is he the guy or is there someone else?

If only we had good pass rushers that could take advantage of that. Wait...never mind

 

[HawkeyeDenis]

Need Fant. Even as a decoy.

I think Tksirius was talking about Fant's dad Willie not Derrick Willies. Odd how so many people jump on the Willies thing which is in the past.

Yep. My post was all sarcasm. However, being a Browns fan, I do consider Willies a Hawk on my team.
