Game Thread: Illinois vs Northwestern

[GrayGhost77]

The most Illinois way to lose.

That was a damn hold!

Didn't love the call there. Butt had it right, you limit your options on the rollout.

Branding said same thing.

 

[Keisersose]

Even Dean Blandino said it shoulda been holding. He’s the officiating expert in the booth for the TV people.

 

[CDRUSN]

That conversion attempt and this game sum up the utter futility of this season. So many wasted opportunities for a winning record.

 

[CogDog]

How many tipped passes has Paddock had?

Many and almost always in critically important situations.

 

[Illiniaaron]

Wouldn’t be a big ten game without clueless officials

This game...

What’s crazier to me is that it’s not even a reviewable play …

Everyone within 100 miles of Memorial Stadium should be attending these games. There is absolutely nothing in Central Illinois more entertaining than Illinois Football.

 

[New Creation]

Missed defensive holding call once again by these refs.

 

[TheFlyingIllini1317]

once i saw that rollout I knew it wasn't gonna work we never score on that.

 

[aaeismacgychel]

Icing the onside kicker?

 

[GrayGhost77]

Illinois is simply not allowed to have two winning seasons in a row. The football gods have ordained it.

 

[Fighter of the Nightman]

So Illinois to get that crazy TD and throw it into the NU guy’s helmet while they commit PI, haha.

Wait, why was that not holding? I really don’t understand.
