Game Thread: Illinois at Northwestern

[Illinois_2_AZ]

We have to control the line of scrimmage and the clock in the 3rd quarter. We can't have our defense getting worn out.

Or we can just do that.

Earlier in the year, i was ready to move on from Laughery, but he has been really good the last 3-4 games.

Lol @ this dipsh$t play by play announcer and his "just got out of bed" head.

He got fired from the Blackhawks for a reason. He is just not a very good listen.

That kickoff hit a curtain of wind and dropped

Yep glad we get that wind at our back in the 4th

So the issue Luke is having today is that the wind is primarily a cross field one. Steady 10-15 wind with higher gusts. That's one of the harder ones to throw in as the ball just floats on you. You have to put some real pace on it and can't let the ball stay in the air or the wind will just take it.

Yep glad we get that wind at our back, sides, and front in the 4th

Dumb play call by them... bad punt... set up to put this game away if we take advantage here on O

 

[Oracle21]

Down 21-10, last game of the season, why you punting on 4th and 1?

 

[One Man Fast Break]

Why punt 30 yards? Just go for it.

 

[zentrails]

FIFY

OK, thanks, guess you have to actually be at Wrigley to judge today's wind which I am decidedly not.

Seems like we should adapt the passing game to shorter throws

The biggest thing we needed to control was turn overs and we didn't do that. Without the turnovers we are probably up at least 21 - 3.

Also, please stop trying to pass when Love is in the backfield. He just refuses to block.

Love?
