The Hoosiers had 58 penalty yards against the Bearcats along with the three costly turnovers. There were also some throws that Bazelak thinks could have been better.
Bazelak was in a joking mood when people asked about how his arm was feeling after running that many plays on offense. He stated that he ran a pretty run-heavy offense in high school, and that his arm is feeling good. At the end of the day, Bazelak noted that management and awareness are crucial.
Also jokes that coming out of a run-heavy offense in high school, he doesn’t have a ton of wear and tear on his arm now. But management and awareness are big keys. #iufb
