Game Thread: Illinois at Michigan

[TheChief4Life]

They have it at the 30. Just as good as a punt.

Let’s play some D!

 

[InDaAZ]

OK, calling 9-1-1…

Let’s go, D

 

[RML]

Let's go D.

 

[PapaKvells]

correct call to go for it

tough way to try to get 8 yards though

Would have considered punting tbh.

 

[Coop70]

Statistically we are due for an INT!

 

[IlliniFaninHoosierLand]

Not his fault nobody blocked.

Exactly. One of the linemen got out of their stance late on the snap.

 

[Mr. Roberts]

TURNOVER TIME!!!!

 

[Illinois_2_AZ]

Lunney strikes again.

Wasn't his fault- the blocking broke down.

 

[IlliniFaninHoosierLand]

Would have considered punting tbh.

No point at that spot in the field to do that.

I'd have considered punting if I still had Blake Hayes.

yeah it is what it is. michigan's defense is loaded and you don't want to risk a special teams disaster. oh well

 

[eas23]

Should be obvious from this thread that I'm pro being aggressive, but I feel like punting was an option there.

 

[JJE]

Get a stop!!!

 

[KBLEE]

Not his fault nobody blocked.

If you're gonna have your QB scramble, he needs to have at least 1 receiver to throw to.

[RML]

Our streak of games with an INT is on the line. Let's make it a pick 6

 

[LJ22]

With our special teams?

 

[Mr. Tibbs]

gotta hold them & get ball back

they need a TD to beat us , otherwise 2 field goals . I still like our chances

That wasn't the play design, it just got blown up up front.

I was just saying we need to get one!!

 

[aaeismacgychel]

Lunney strikes again.

Honestly, he's called a great game today. We've had our chances, we're against a good team that knows how to execute.

 

[ChiefGritty]

OK, JJ, here's your moment.

 

[illinipimp]

10 minutes left in a 4 point game.

And every second counts. Run 8 plays 20 seconds early that’s almost 3 minutes.

Considering it was 12 to 3 Michigan at the end of the 1st, we’ve managed well.

It wasn't.
