[Ramrod2010]

At this point reserves start entering the game mid 3rd quarter?

Wheres Corbin? He hurt again or c.f twerk something? I cant believe the announcer have not mentioned it.

EVERTYHING IS FINE...right...right???

 

[texillwek]

Holy smokes Peters is rushing co-leader. Who are these guys??

 

[BWBW]

The Portal Illini? I wonder what a Portal mascot looks like?

Radio people did mention that Corbin did not have his helmet around him.

Any word on Hobbs? looked like a stinger or something.

I really hope it's precautionary. We need him.

Leman said he was back, but I haven't noticed him back in the game.

Did they put him through the concussion protocol earlier? Maybe they think he got bonked.

Brandon Peters is looking mobile!

I like that he's playing with a chip on his shoulder - but would still like him also to appear to play more for Illinois...

He took himself out after a run and hasn't been back in since. If I had to guess its an ankle or something. At the 1:40 left in the 1st quarter mark.

Not to nitpick, but I would have liked to see us use our timeouts at the end of the half. We could have gotten the ball back, so we could have practiced our 2 minute offense.

Easy.

I was just hoping for a last second punt to get Sidney a chance to see the ball coming in.

Brandon Peters:
*good arm strength
*can scramble when needed
*accuracy isn't the greatest (first game jitters?)
*rarely looks off the defense
*stares down his receiver
*6/14 for 83 yards (against Akron)

I like what he can bring, I just hope he improves a bit as the season goes on.

These items are pretty worrisome. Not sure he’s made it to a second read yet.

Radio people:

Coaches *may be* sitting Corbin out as a precaution. Nothing out of the normal.

I'm 100% ok with that. He's not needed at the moment.
