Game Thread: Illinois at Ohio State

[illinoistradition]

What a joke on these hold calls. Nothing called on all their defensive holds.

 

[TheChief4Life]

Might have been a hold, but that replay was not a good one to show it.

 

[biglug58]

These announcers bring nothing to the game…

 

[Hereforit]

Great to see Clement getting some play here today

 

[New Creation]

If this offense can get healthy. It is going to
Be hard to stop.

 

[aaeismacgychel]

Lmfao...but there's not a single hold during OSU runs.

There really wasn’t anything there

 

[BWBW]

Great catch!

 

[TooHot4Tots]

Stop wasting a play up gut with 5

 

[RDS]

Don’t slide - dive forward next time

 

[Illini-Rule]

And we're back to running up the middle on 1st & 10

 

[BWBW]

Get someone else in for Valentine

 

[EmeraldCityIllini]

He’s short. But he wasn’t a yard short

 

[aaeismacgychel]

Big 3rd and short. Need this one

 

[biglug58]

It looked like Houser was hit in the head after he started a slide.

 

[madillini4]

What happened to Gus Johnson? Is he a Buckeyes fan? Used to love him, but this is awful.

 

[SuperMetroid]

These announcers bring nothing to the game…

Gus only gets excited when the world famous buckeyes do something

 

[Carter Waller]

It seems like 235lb Barnett would help the run game some.

 

[Altgeld's Bells]

Don’t slide - dive forward next time

I would hold my breath every time Luke dove since defense could get a free shot on the QB. I'm totally fine with Houser sliding!

 

[JKR]

And if he didn’t catch it, you’d be whining about it being downed inside the 5.

Maybe. Which would be another yard or two. Or more likely, it goes for a touchback

I would hold my breath every time Luke dove since defense could get a free shot on the QB. I'm totally fine with Houser sliding!

Headfirst slide always makes me worry it’s easier to punch the ball out too

 

[Illini in Italy]

Why catch that punt?

Do you fair catch at the 5? Don't the odds say to let it go, and see if they can down it?

And if he didn’t catch it, you’d be whining about it being downed inside the 5.

If you looked behind Resetich, there was a tOSU player behind him standing on the goal line when he caught the ball. It was the right call.

 

[Altgeld's Bells]

It looked like Houser was hit in the head after he started a slide.

Not getting that call against OSU at OSU.

 

[TooHot4Tots]

Laughery has been solid so its puzzling why he isnt in now

 

[Lakes333]

No, you keep running. You never dive or slide. Just keep going.

 

[HereSoIDontGetFined]

Happy the offense is moving the ball. Getting a touchdown here would be huge.
