Game Thread: Illinois at Wisconsin

Horrible call on second down

 

[HailtotheChief]

Look bowick! It's a td.

 

[eas23]

Bowick has not been great with situational awareness all season. There's a reason he's 4th on the depth chart despite his raw skills.

 

[IlliniMilkMan]

Bowick needs to turn around for that one.

Luke looking frazzled a bit.

 

[DeeIL89]

Some uninspiring play calling there, but then again this team is playing uninspiring all night. Sigh.

 

[Retro62]

I do not understand those first two offensive plays—terrible.

 

[HereSoIDontGetFined]

Bowick was not even expecting that pass. He clearly thought the play was to someone else.

 

[JKR]

Why can't we hold the edge?

 

[Naborman88]

Time for d to take it away

 

[PasadenaIllini]

Our linebackers don't understand correct angles of pursuit at all.

 

[eas23]

Luke looking frazzled a bit.

Because he read the blitz and threw what should have been a touchdown.

Why can't we hold the edge?

The entire stadium saw that run coming.

Why is Wisconsin looking like what Wisconsin "should" look like

 

[AutoPoster 3000]

Traditionally, the distinguishing characteristic of a 3-7 team is that they will find a way to lose games that they went into the 4th quarter leading. But sadly I’m not getting that kind of vibe in this one

 

[CDRUSN]

Defense showed a definite pulse on Wisconsin's last possession. Hopefully we can get another stop and scream out loud

Lmao...we aren't just losing to one of the absolute worst B1G teams, we are making them look good.

Wisconsin looks like a middle of the pack decent B1G team tonight. I guess credit to them.....but really?

 

[EmeraldCityIllini]

Our linebackers don't understand correct angles of pursuit at all.

They’re also very, very slow

 

[TentakilRex]

While Wisconsin plays Jump Around, I am thinking about another song by a DJ Lethal band....

Break Stuff

 

[Nuffievanhaven]

We got this ladies and gentlemen!!! Believe in our boys!!!!!

 

[IlliniwekKDR]

Going to the well too often with the designed QB rub.

I think that was Deshaun Watson's go-to

 

[chief]

This is the worst offense that we have played against all year!

 

[aaeismacgychel]

Henry is treating this QB like he's Maiava.

 

[Second place is 1st loser]

Because he read the blitz and threw what should have been a touchdown.

Yep. I'm not sure what Bowick was doing there. He ran a good route, he was open in the end zone, but didn't bother looking for the ball. Should have been 6.

 

[RML]

Don't wanna go down two scores here
