Game Thread: Illinois vs Purdue

[CentralILLini]

I am done

Get out.

 

[BWBW]

Get a stop, get another TD.

One good outcome of that long review: some much needed rest for the defense

Absolutely. Even better than having someone lie on the ground for a minute after each play.

 

[FloridaMan]

I am done

Name checks out

 

[jmwillini]

Nice runs by TD and CB.

How in the HECK did that replay review take 5 minutes? Obvious from 1st replay he was down. (Sorry, I was a couple minutes behind, lol.

The good thing about that touchdown is that maybe it will erase the image of that Reiman drop from my forever nightmares.

Yes and also the overturn! We finally got a call for us

 

[TheChief4Life]

now a stop please….!

 

[Illinois_2_AZ]

And punter

Declan Duley will be the punter next year- we just have to survive this season.

 

[Illinois_2_AZ]

It's nice the replay officials get a call right. Also our D is now rested.

Purdue must have bought the MSU defensive playbook

 

[zentrails]

The jury has long been in, but scoring a TD anyway after the drop is another data point that this is a different Illinois team.

Actually 2 TD plays on that series. Maybe big mo is changing to us?
We need good D for the rest of the half

The reviews give me anxiety

 

[Navy_illini]

My god.

That drop and that review together was like an entire Lovie Smith season into itself.

Part of the reason it probably took so long is they had to reset sticks and clocks. It was an obvious call but the others take longer

 

[IlliniForceOne]

How about a turnover to make it 21-7 at half.

 

[IlliniForceOne]

The reviews give me anxiety

We have PTSD after Indiana.

Be nice if the announcing crew had that awareness instead of telling us it "is a tough call to make."

 

[aaeismacgychel]

I don't think I'll ever get used to seeing the alma mater in its non-oxidized color.

 

[GoodePodzMelendez]

There we go, bull rush

 

[BDMAN]

was coleman in on that last play

 

[Navy_illini]

Why blow that dead it could have been a fumble

 

[LoveLovie]

We have a chance to push the ball here

 

[aaeismacgychel]

Huge stop here. Huge.

 

[illini0440]

was coleman in on that last play

No

 

[eas23]

That'll be in the clip reel when Newton gets drafted. Great move from an inside rusher.
