Game Thread: Illinois vs Indiana

[Pikeillinifan]

Well, maybe, just maybe, we get a defensive stop.

It’s everyone’s favorite time of the game: Illinois trying to protect a TD or less lead with 5 minutes or less… why am I nervous in a game in which we have 600 yards?!

 

[Mr. Roberts]

I sure wish we hadn't chased points with the 2 point try.

 

[LFOD]

Thank you, Griffin.

 

[New Creation]

At least we are up 8.

So they will be driving to tie and not win.

 

[Ramrod2010]

WTF was that motion on the FG?

Are we that out of sorts yet clicking on so many cylinders?

 

[Icy veins]

It was always gonna come down to the end

The yardage is a lot closer if you include penalty yardage.

I smell prevent coming....

Tom Allen and Fran McCaffery have the most punchable faces in the Big 10 and it's not close.

 

[dsg]

Time for another take-away.

 

[Da88]

I'd love to have two more attempts at a 2 point conversion.

 

[LFOD]

Who replaces the spitter on D?

 

[KBLEE]

Kick the XP last TD and it's now a 2 score game.

 

[IllinistuckinGopherland]

Is there somewhere I can bet on a 4-and-long incompletion followed by targeting penalty coming up?

 

[skyIdub]

*Looks at his bingo card for "14 penalties", "600 yds offense", "winning by one score".......

Michigan and Penn State can both screw off forever of course, but Penn State just cannot win a big game.

Indiana is in 4 down mode now. Will not be easy for us.

 

[illinidarrin]

Had a chance to bury them and couldn't do it.

Because you've been paying attention.

Okay, Caleb made it. I can breathe for a couple minutes. Gotta play defense here without getting flagged. If anyone gets a personal foul, Bret has to have their mother pull them off the field by their ear

Yep let's hope we have no more and end this drive by them with no points

 

[aaeismacgychel]

Don't say that.

Please no more soft coverage, prevent zone defense. If they beat us in man to man, so be it. But let's not just give up a long drive by playing "safe".
