Game Thread: Illinois vs Michigan

[Jimbo]

Nice. Hope we don’t back from the commercial to a review in progress.

 

[Second place is 1st loser]

That half literally could not have started better. All three phases participated.

 

[LFOD]

Man, that was the big balls drive all the way!

 

[Illini2010-11]

Another run up the middle on 1st down.

If it starts getting 4-5 yards consistently, then yes.

 

[RML]

We need 7 right now!

Sorry, 8.

 

[punchabove33]

Like I said. Playmakers.


Luke.
PB.
Z.

Add in Arkin.

 

[aaeismacgychel]

Wow wow wow wow wow. Hell of a throw and catch by Leary. Bret has balls the size of Memorial stadium

 

[Mr. Roberts]

No! No! No! Nice shot.

Wait, wrong season.

 

[Battle89]

We sure he had control there?

Initial bobble, foot down in, regained control before second foot out. Conversion good.

 

[AutoPoster 3000]

They really should temporarily suspend that helmet off one-play rule. These helmets are made of leather for crying out loud.

[UCantHideYer]

Gotta like a drive that duped the camera crew that much

 

[Illini2010-11]

Also quite a statement: You can't even stop our backup qb

 

[pruman91]

TD LA !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!......................QB1 SNEAK WORKED.......................

LEARY TO FRANKLIN FOR THE 2 POINT CONVERSION..........................

Illini up 21-7................................HELLS YEAH !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[zentrails]

What did we learn last week? Don't chase points with 2 point conversions.

Hated the call, but Great moment for our back up QB!!
Is that his first pass all season?

 

[LarryGotFouled]

Very glad they are sticking with Tuttle

 

[Flyin' Illini]

Regardless of the conversion success, that 2 point attempt is still extremely concerning. That's two straight weeks where we have gone for 2 under non-ideal conditions rather than taking the point. There is still a LOT of football left to be played today and potentially losing out on a point there wasn't worth the risk. We got lucky last week, but decisions like that are likely to cost us eventually.

 

[Mr. Roberts]

I love the arial shots of a full stadium.

 

[LFOD]

Michigan coaches are asking for Leary’s phone number.

 

[EyeoftheIllini]

We sure he had control there?

Yep, WHAT A CATCH!

Man, you’re on fire. Don’t think you’ve had positive post yet in this thread.

 

[dsg]

Great tackle!

 

[Battle89]

Michigan coaches are asking for Leary’s phone number.

Was just thinking that goes into his portal tape.

 

[aaeismacgychel]

What a gorgeous play by Coleman. Stop them here

 

[New Creation]

The best thing ( in hindsight sight ) that has happened to this D. Was the second half of Purdue

I hear what you’re saying, but on the other hand, successful fake punt.
