Game Thread: Illinois at Nebraska

[TheChief4Life]

Good false start- gives Hugh more room.

 

[Abraxas70]

So far i could see us leapfrogging 4 teams in the rankings after this pseudo hot mess of a performance.

Yep, Syracuse laid one that was at least 15 Courics.

 

[BDMAN]

Toomy should have let that last paly to chase developed a little more prior to the throw but no mistakes now so I will take it

 

[logjam]

So efficient you’d think he was actually German

??

 

[eas23]

If it's the right move that doesn't mean he's ignoring analytics. At least try to sound like you have a clue what you're talking about.

Maybe slow down a little, man. We have an entire quarter to go still

If they still had their #1 QB I think we would have gone for it.

 

[RML]

Needed one more.

 

[SescIllini]

Would like a long pass to Hightower or Bryant. Can live without anymore backward WR screens or Isiah jet option.

Good false start- gives Hugh more room.

As well as an additional 10-15 seconds off the clock.

Has our Defense scored a TD yet this season? I think this would be a very good time for a pick six or a scoop and score to send these announcers and Nebraska players home. Why don't the announcers think we are worthy? Keep underestimating us....please.

I was thinking the same thing. This had “game situation” written all over it.

 

[Clngpl94]

They are getting the benefit of not having holding called today, but your point stands regardless.

I'm working and listening to the radio call, don't have the benefit of the full visual! Seems they've gotten something figured out though... ILL

 

[dsg]

HA!

[MoCoMdIllini]

Hold the farm... as Keith Jackson liked to say

EDIT: Newton did come up with it!

 

[IlliniKat91]

Holy hell

 

[eas23]

If they still had their #1 QB I think we would have gone for it.

So he's making a decision based on all the available information. That is analytics.

Analytics doesn't mean going for it on 4th down all the time.

[LoveLovie]

Martin is so good omg

 

[purcy51]

Thought he was going to body slam thatguy!

 

[IlliniKat91]

I thought it was gonna be a body slam. Ended up with the takeaway

 

[pruman91]

FIFD , time for a defensive stop or a turnover or a pick 6 TD or a TD fumble return.......................I'm not picky................

 

[dbeverly26]

lol Quan just powerbombing guys out there now

 

[aaeismacgychel]

This defense. Just wow!
