Game Thread: Illinois at Purdue

[Deleted member 645583]

I know all of you are secretly wondering about this: the all-time Illinois-Purdue series is tied 44-44-6. Amazing.

Illini: take the lead!

Looks like we have lost a bit of defensive intensity.

Green just destroyed Hopkins.

Want to get out of this before Purdue resurrects its passing game.

Oooooooo that had to hurt.

When you get a team down, keep them down! No relenting.

That was a great hit.

I'm spending way too much time clock watching.

Let them slow walk it down the field - just don't give up anything big -clock is our friend

I think I can maybe relax. ??

I think they are concerned with poor wet ball throws/turnovers. Lovie is going to run clock, play the field position , and wait for Purdue to make mistakes.

I'm sure that's the case. But instead of three and out three and out. I want the offense to sustain a long drive and kill major clock. A pass like that could step on their neck and finish thier effort

 

[BWBW]

Rats. There goes the shutout.

 

[breadman]

A shutout would have been more impressive.

Don't care just win.

Illini O better deliver a time consuming drive

 

[BWBW]

Nice stop on the 2 point try.

 

[Deleted member 746684]

Huge stop on the 2 pt conversion.

 

[DonIllini]

Just run the clock out now

 

[Deleted member 654622]

99yrd drive for Purdue

 

[Deleted member 182960]

huge stop there. Still 3 possession game

 

[OskeeWowzer]

That plays been there all game. It’s there all game every game. It’s just a matter of whether the TEs catch it or drop it....

 

[Twangers]

I’m piling on Brohm but that’s a terrible play call. Everyone and their dog saw that, that’s too easy.

 

[jeffs]

Think they'll try the onside kick?

 

[breadman]

A shutout would have been more impressive.

Illini O better deliver a time consuming drive

Just like at OSU back in '07!!

 

[SampsonRelpenk]

Assume they'll onside kick here now that they need three scores.

 

[Deleted member 746684]

That will be must see tv in that 100 yard slip n slide

That sideline endzone camera honestly looked like it showed a safety to me on the start of that drive. Wasn't sure if the ball ever broke out of the endzone. Anyway, nice to be wondering about that casually rather than as a turning point in the game!
