Game Thread: Illinois at Purdue

[illinigiant80]

Hope our defense is not too tired. They are not getting much rest

In this scenario , we will allow it.

 

[skyIdub]

I'm getting a 4th quarter backups vibe from the room....

 

[illiram]

I'm not as stressed out now. I should not have downed 18 pizza rolls....

 

[zentrails]

I learned after watching last years game that it’s not over until its over

Yep we had a 24 point lead last year at one time IIRC

 

[Mr. Roberts]

Purdue crowd getting restless here. Stop them and they may be done.

 

[pruman91]

CV TD !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!............25 yard TD run by Mr. Valentine increases our lead to 24-7 with 2:25 to go till halftime.....................

 

[logjam]

OL is playing exceptional...

 

[CDRUSN]

For everyone that is down on our defense, we have made plays this game at crucial times, and have only given up one score this half. My advice:

 

[TheFlyingIllini1317]

I didn't see a face mask either - blown call actually in our favor AT Purdue?
Didn't expect that

It definitely was, if you see a replay again you'll notice it, took me a second too

 

[illini0440]

I remind everyone not to panic after 1 or 2 possessions…..

 

[DReq]

At this rate we are going to lose the first down count badly. I mean 3 plays and two scores. Smh

Its been 50 something games of Bielema plus the Wisconsin era. His gameplans have always been designed around setting plays up for later in the game and wearing the opponent down. Its intentional, and when the talent level is relatively comparable it works more often than not.

You spelled "call for the DC's job" wrong.

 

[aaeismacgychel]

I'd be down for a Jacas strip sack here

 

[Battle89]

GD it

 

[PasadenaIllini]

Crap.

 

[TheGMan]

Well I guess we do get the ball back…

 

[Second place is 1st loser]

That's what happens when you blitz for those who were wondering. The corner came and the safety didn't come over.

 

[dsg]

And just like that....

 

[FloridaMan]

Huge momentum killer there. Defense is not good

 

[Fly Illini Fly!]

This secondary....

They do give us the ball back...

 

[freddbird]

If Purdue does this right, they can still give us the ball back another time before the half.

NOT WHAT I MEANT!

 

[aaeismacgychel]

What in the world happened there?

 

[Miles Leonard]

How do you let that happen?

 

[DReq]

Oops
