This is why I record games instead of watch live. Refs didn’t call a single hold on Wisconsin, but geez make sure you call a baby hold when Illinois gets past midfield with game winding down.

On the pass play to the 5 a tackle literally tackled our DE on his way to QB. He tackled him from behind

Just when I thought I could watch other games without being ashamed....

This'll probably spund dramatic, but I don't think I will keep watching this nonsense if playing the sport is a penalty.

What a joke.

Oh well the dream of winning the Big 10 West is over, This would have been huge for helping us get to 6 wins and a Bowl. Sadly, we were the better team. But their coaches are a bit wiser than ours, so......

Iowa laying an egg at home and ACTUALLY giving us a path to Indy, while we’re up 21-7??

*Pisses pants and faints*

EDIT: And the ultimate insult to injury is scrambling FORWARD on a HAIL MARY and getting sacked … that’s called not even trying. EVERY poster on this board could throw it as far as he can forward and pray for a miracle. 🤦🏼‍♂️

You're still thinking about Indy? I just want to make a bowl game and I'm not sure that's in the cards after this.

I normally don't pile on bad announcers...but this was one of the most egregious rubbing every successful Wisc play in Illinois faces I've ever heard.
They both should be embarrassed.

I've never heard an announcer literally scream for every great play of only one team.

Another pathetic loss. Not defeat, because for 3 quarters Wisconsin begged us to win this game. We refused to take the gift and continued to make stupid penalties and mental errors, along with calling wasted plays on offense that go nowhere and put us in continual third and longs. Our third down offense and defense is abysmal.

Not advocating for BB to go, but basically every other coaching position should be up for grabs immediately. Burn all our timeouts as Wisconsin is coming back to win the game? We don't know how to line up for a punt and lose 10 - 15 yards on a punt return? We have some success on both sides of the ball with blitzes and some good, solid run calls on offense? Next series let's go completely conservative and back the safety off 20 yards, and call some more delays up the gut or one yard pass behind the line of scrimmage. You're telling me the only receivers we have who can be in the game are IW and Washington? Sickening that this program is so allergic to success.

And to top it off, the target on Newton completely changed this game. I've seen much, much worse hits not called. The rule is bad, and enforcement is comically inconsistent. Your telling me Johnny deserves to miss half of the Minnesota game for that hit? There was clearly no intent there. He hit the guy and their helmets contacted each other. There were a couple of hits Luke took sliding down that were more malicious than that one. I'm almost done with college football. It's trash unless you're a fan of the perennial top 10. The B10 in particular is pathetically poor.

Season is over, gave yet another game away.

Get youngsters more experience and build for next year. Such a disappointment, I should be used to this by now.

We are also so bad at time management. It seems like the last few games we have burned a timeout early in the second half because we can't get a play off. I don't know if that's on the Luke or Lunney, my guess is the latter. It may not have not made any difference but it would have been nice to have a couple at the end.
