Debord stands by final play calls
With the benefit of reflection, would Mike DeBord change his approach to Indiana's final goal line series Saturday?
"Not at all," the veteran offensive coordinator said.
Although his Hoosier offense failed to punch the ball into the end zone from the 1-yard line in overtime, DeBord said Monday that he stands behind his final four calls of Saturday's 27-20 loss to Michigan.
After getting as close as the Michigan 1, IU lost a total of three yards on separate zone-read decisions, and quarterback Peyton Ramsey twice failed to complete a pass, including a desperation heave on the final play.
DeBord's solution? Coach those plays more effectively.
