Game Thread: Illinois at Iowa

He threw into a stack!

 

[Twangers]

Yeah, that’s one of those “I’m gonna throw it up and see if Josh makes a play” but that ball wasn’t close.

 

[Kingsnake22]

Incredible play call, terrible execution. You don’t have to throw that. On the QB.

 

[LJ22]

What a waste of a great Peters run. You could see that pick as soon as it left his hands.

so we're walking down the field with normal effort and we think we need to get cute. Thanks Rod.

 

[Retro62]

Peters has had some nice plays, but that’s the second “why in the world would you throw that” of the game. Don’t understand the need for the trickery there either, we were moving.

 

[sbillini]

Can't tell if that was a bad pass or a busted route. In either case...bleh

 

[JFGsCoffeeMug]

And I'm sad again.

 

[SuperMetroid]

Coulda done without that. Bad throw or receiver stopping his route?

 

[BDMAN]

Be Be let Peters down on the route he ran there we have to find another receiver inn addition to Be Be

I wish I was watching the game where we just went up 20-10 right there.

Yeah....Josh was three yards out of bounds....no way was he getting there

We all love the fight this team has shown, but my god our football IQ as a team well i will leave it alone. Go ILLINI

 

[Twangers]

I’m actually a little confused to what that was, other than just “I’m gonna throw this to a spot”. It wasn’t there.

 

[Deleted member 29907]

peters was guessing on BHeBhe - he's starting to believe in some of the luck we've had on some of those routes in other games.

 

[Halloweenie]

Ok..third down..pass coming...can we defend it

No

All we had to do was hand the ball off to Brown

 

[tyrannosaurus scorus]

Nonexistent pass rush

 

[Illinidpm]

We play 3 amazing defensive plays to make it third and long and then boom - a long first down pass.... every time!

 

[Deleted member 29907]

are they doubling Milan? usually hearing his name much more

 

[Halloweenie]

Nate Hobbs!

 

[Twangers]

Sort of, combo blocking. Milan will get picked up there more often than not.

 

[skyIdub]

Iowa letting us hang around. Have they not been watching our fourth quarters?

 

[Halloweenie]

Stanley helped us there. We have not taken advantage of the last two drives. Leaves us no margin for error
