Was that the thing Matt Millen was saying "Not smart" about?

His mom tweeted that they all knew he wasn't going to play because he had a "virus" that was going around campus.

Got my pregame answer on Tolson, the time Milan replayed him running to opposite side of the field while it was a run play directly at him.....ehhhhh

I need to just say that for the most part I didn't get into the game thread. So I just grabbed some coffee and went through the 20ish pages for pure entertainment. Hats off to @The Process !!! That bro was fulling on board with the positive post even while getting our ace kicked at the beginning.

Key for this defense is stopping the run. When we can get teams in 3rd an long (ya I know that is every team really) we have a great opportunity to get that turnover, not just stops
I was in no mood for positivity. Process, your posts were making me angry, but it's not you it's me.
Bump. I'd like to know the answer
Don't know if it was mentioned in the game thread either, but I do know that I was swearing in front of both the TV and my wife when I saw us run players onto the field.
Question about the substitution thing: how long does the defense get? I mean, if there's 20 seconds left when the offense makes subs, the defense can't just take 20 seconds to make subs, right? For example, below is when the Illini made a substitution. There are 22 seconds left with a running game clock. Even if MSU makes subs, Illinois is still going to get the play off, right? Or does MSU get all day long?

Not gonna lie...so, this time I turned off the game, in utter disgust at 21-3. Was watching the Blackhawks game when I decided to check this site. Holy mother! Fortunately, I didn't delete the recording. Still can't hardly believe it. Minor miracle of the major variety.
Lotta fight in this team. Love it.

Unless it has changed in the last year, they get 3 seconds to initiate a substitution. If they fail to properly substitute in their players within this time frame, they can by rule be called for delay of game (Or the referee can simply signal the ball as spotted and start the game clock).
THAT SAID, I don’t recall having seen this enforced in an actual game. I don’t know how officiating crews would call it.
I’m not gonna go there just yet. He’s still a young kid making his first start, we’ll see how camp goes for him next year and how he looks in the early 3.
From what I did jot down yesterday, MSU ran 16 plays on their first 3 drives and Tolson was out of position on 13 or 14 of them. I have to rewatch it so that has a margin of error but the overall play from the kid was pretty bad. I don’t think he knows the calls.

We took advantage of a slow played subbing against Purdue as I recall - end of first half?
Yup, did it in the Nebraska game as well, 3rd quarter. This is a well known loophole that coaches exploit. Smart.
This one was actually a potentially damaging blunder. It was only 2nd down. With how much clock ticked off for the subs and the slow developing play Rod called, if that ball to Barker was incomplete we only get one more play and the game ends on 3rd down. We should have been treating that situation as if we needed all 4 downs and preserved the clock as such.

Didn’t we take advantage of this at some point during the MSU game? Causing MSU to get a delay of game penalty?

Didnt a PAC 12 team lose a game vs an SEC team a few years ago when they brought thier kicking unit of the field? The refs wernt allowing them to snap the ball for the game winning kick and the clock ran out.
Anyone remember that?

Ya I'm not saying to write him off completely. He is still got plenty of time to learn. I'll just say I really wont feel confident if he has to play anymore this year while being surrounded by other 2nd and 3rd stingers

I have been holding this in all year and now can post it. Remember last year when Northwestern beat us with thier 2nd string players and Fitz said post game that he felt confident they would win with the players he had on the field? PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE I hope we do that and Lovie says the EXACT same thing post game
I do not. That would change some things. You did say a few years ago, I’m pretty sure this 3 second rule was in affect last season. Maybe that’s a new thing, I couldn’t say for sure.
I do know the rule states(or stated) that a failure to properly substitute defensively could result in a delay of game. I don’t think they have an unlimited time frame to get their personnel sorted.

I really don't know why the refs were stopping them from snapping the ball, I do remember the game though. Im gonna do some digging
Seems my initial thought was correct...

I’m a Cub fan and also and the feeling of 2016 could only be duplicated by Illini football or basketball. Fans of teams that win a lot just don’t understand. That is why even tho Fleck is a bit of a goof I’d love to see Minny run the table this year. Score one for the down trodden

Not me I hope we beat the hell out of them with our best guys to get to 7 or maybe 8 wins. Send the message on the field. Fitzy has diarrhea of the mouth sometimes.
I remember seeing him slow to get up and my immediate thought was, "Well now you have to sell out on the run because there is no way they are going to throw it after that."
I shouldn't have been wrong, but glad I was.

A little confused here, winning with the second string still gives us another win taking us to at least 7 wins.
