Game Thread: Illinois at Northwestern

[Illini-Rule]

This coaching staff is way too conservative on offensive play calls. Pathetic.

Right? What do you have to lose by being aggressive?

 

[altenberger22]

Saw an accurate but demoralizing comment earlier this week on TV, perhaps ESPN. During a debate about OSU playing in the Big10 Championship game, they said, "It's even beneficial for teams like Illinois --- at the bottom of the conference --- when it comes to sharing the playoff/bowl $$$$."

 

[UCantHideYer]

Illegal receiver downfield called on our opponents! I'm going to count that as an illini victory & just turn off the game now!

 

[BWBW]

And we give up a big play

 

[thehass]

All day to throw. No pass rush equal completion.

 

[CurbeloYourEnthusiasm]

Should have bet my life savings on the Under

That 4th and 8 conversion is my breaking point.

Ha! - We're just in it for the money.

How did the receiver get so open?

Because we are on defense

Hansen can not cover in space.

but did they show a clip of J and the boys going into Columbus 13 years ago and BEATING #1 OSU?

So...

 

[Oskeefan]

receiver pushes off and gets the call

 

[BWBW]

Boy do we hurt ourselves

 

[LoveLovie]

How is that not on the offense??

 

[altenberger22]

Thinking both Peters (Covid Sr.) and Williams are going to transfer this off-season. Frustrated with their playing time.

 

[MaineIllini]

just poor on multiple levels

 

[Sizzler22]

I guess Luke Ford just doesn’t play? What the heck

On the new HC to talk them into staying.

 

[BWBW]

NW has made in-game adjustments. Now they will make halftime adjustments.

Our staff, well, ..... will do whatever it does at halftime.

I saw him standing when a block would have been helpful.

 

[TGB]

When we need 5 yards for a first down, have we ever thrown a quick slant?

 

[OrangeAndBlueBlooded]

On the new HC to talk them into staying.

That's what I was thinking when the announcers mentioned a free year for the seniors. New coach, more hope.

 

[kyillinifan]

No reason to be with only 3 pets. No mis directions. Peters is throwing 100 mph passes. No tight end passes Rod smith play calling has gone down the tubes.

 

[IllinoisOKC]

Thought Golic Sr mentioned he likes Lovie and with a freebie year is excited to see what he can do with another year or something along those lines, no?

 

[thehass]

Any time we get a team in third and long you can move the chains.
