They were around the 40. NFL QBs can throw a hail mary to the endzone from there. Why not at least try to get a jump ball in the endzone? Last year Mizzou's WRs would've had a good chance there.
Terrible play calling all game though. Mauck never got in a rhythm and they made no adjustments when it was clear IU was dominating the line of scrimmage. Never thought I would see a Big10 team that just gave up 40+ to Bowling Green dominate the trenches vs a team that went to the SEC CG last year...
