Game Thread: Illinois at Wisconsin

[Ramrod2010]

Fickell has acorns. Like how do you not go for it?

Laughery

Can the defense step up and get a stop? Can we get a field goal lead going into halftime?

Yep they can, big MO is on our side for the rest of the half, I hope

I think a Zone is the only thing in Henry's playbook. If he actually blitzed this inexperienced QB, we would do so much better.

 

[Jimbo]

They definitely should’ve gone for it. We’ll take it.

 

[Ander1345]

Barna with a couple gross angles on the last two plays

Gotta make the tackle when you read a play correctly.

 

[FloridaMan]

Of course, absolutely terrible spot. We need to challenge that. Just terrible.

 

[TheChief4Life]

Uhoh…. Please be okay…

 

[BWBW]

Bad spot?

 

[Pikeillinifan]

This would be very bad.

 

[skyIdub]

Holy sh@t it worked!!! We have the ball back!


EVERYONE GO MAKE CHOCOLATE MILK WHEN WISCONSIN HAS THE BALL!!! IT'S SCIENCE!

I don't know why Fickell is punting on these 4th and short downs. He is playing with house money, has nothing to lose, and is facing our mostly porous defense. Glad he is not smart enough to try and take advantage of that.

 

[Pikeillinifan]

Of course, absolutely terrible spot. We need to challenge that. Just terrible.

It looked like the spot was 2 yards short of where he caught it, unless they moved it.

 

[zentrails]

This would be very bad.

Yep, we really need Hank, hopefully something they can just tape up

 

[suburbanILLINI]

Terrible spot. Beatty had the first when he got driven back

Offense needs to keep this momentum. Plain and simple.

Statcast says 1st dwon at the 30.

 

[BWBW]

Too many commercials

 

[Second place is 1st loser]

I think a Zone is the only thing in Henry's playbook. If he actually blitzed this inexperienced QB, we would do so much better.

On the flip side, we have the worst corners in the conference and he'd be leaving them on an island. That's the gamble.

 

[FloridaMan]

Too many commercials

Have to pay for this super high quality production we are getting

 

[HereSoIDontGetFined]

Beatty in the injury tent.

 

[Curbelo Fanboy]

This is officially the play as bad as we have to to lose. Last year was the Rutgers game and we pulled that out somehow. Seems we have at least one of these every year.

 

[Marshall_Lucky]

Facemasks on that run?
