Guess playing 10 on 11 defensively with a safety 25 yards off the ball, and lettin them gut us with the run, wasn't the right call afterall.
Can someone explain the logic in this? The announcers seemed perplexed as well

All valid points, but all we had to do was pick that flutter ball (Strain).Pretty stunning how Illinois couldn’t even pass the ball with the wind while Wisconsin backup threw pretty effectively all game. Allen ran through Illinois the entire second half. Illini pass rush ineffective. And there are no ball hawks on D.
I agreeThat was essentially the game right there.
Yep I don't get that eitherCan someone explain the logic in this? The announcers seemed perplexed as well
He's a free safety, that's pretty normal alignment for a free safety in cover 1, specially if you are bringing a blizter.Can someone explain the logic in this? The announcers seemed perplexed as well
Same here. Wasted time, more often than not. Think of the fans who attended homecoming to watch us $hit our drawers to an average Wisky team.cant believe i sepnt a couple hours watching this game, I need to rethink my life
Haha, he backed up instead of attacked the ball. We need some serious talent upgrades all over the fieldThat was essentially the game right there.
This is the #1 reason we lost this game. Freaking prevent defense with safety not even in the picture at the end of the first half and the whole second half. Gutless coaching! Playing not to lose. Aaron Henry disqualified himself from coaching another game here. Pathetic. GUTLESS!!!!!Guess playing 10 on 11 defensively with a safety 25 yards off the ball, and lettin them gut us with the run, wasn't the right call afterall.
Notre dame or Florida, debating my new college football team

CorrectNope losing Newton with Randolph already out is what cost us this game IMO
Our defense at the end of both halves were bad but I still like Henry. I think our LBs are getting better and our corners are close. Scott needs to get the INTThis is the #1 reason we lost this game.

I... don't hate that call. *ducks* He didn't really hit him with the crown of this head, but he did lower his head. It's a really weak targeting but is probably targeting all the same, so they really should call it to help clean up the game.The terrible Newton targeting call gave all the mojo to bucky...........He made contact with his hands to the chest of the QB and then his helmet barely touched the QB.........
The timeout management was horrendous.....I thought so when we called time out early in the third quarter that it might be a problem later on.........
The next to last TD by bucky was a plum interception chance or at least bat it down.......
This loss has taken the wind out of my sails , for sure.........Not that we lost , but the way we did it........If we could of stopped the bucky RB on that 12 yard run before he got the 1st down would have made it 4th down and they probably go for the tying FG......
Oh well , now we are 3-5 with a bye week......road games coming up and Johnny N. will miss the first half of the next game........
Illini FB......................You are really a fanatic if you live and die by it.......Alas , I am guilty of such fanaticism....I really really am..........

I hurt all over ............I really really do..........Everything is fine ..................Goodnight sweet Illini fanatics........................
Sir, I deal only in tepid takes.Wow… a lot of hot takes in here….
This is the right take. We don’t have to like it, but it did look like the right call, and needed to be made. The inability to recover from that is a whole separate issue that absolutely needs to be addressed.I... don't hate that call. *ducks* He didn't really hit him with the crown of this head, but he did lower his head.

Please don't hate me.
Not being able to recover from that on D along with a whole host of baffling coaching decisions cost us the game. Not the refs.
Nope. That was the Nebraska game.…hope we don't have to look at this one as the game we needed to have a bowl season.
If Lunney stays, we will likely lose some knowledgeable fans. We've already lost most of the unknowledgeable fans. He is not good. Never has been.Both of our coordinators are outmatched and outclassed. One get's a pass....but we need to look at it closely for next year.
The other absolutely has to go.
