    Spring Game game thread

    Totally disagree on Collier. I liked his performance. Remember he was playing with the 2nd unit. Ryan didn't fare to well.

    I think you may be right, but I hope you are really wrong. I know it was a down NW team, but the play calling was really along the lines of what I want to see.

    I'm with you on TP. We aren't in a bowl game because we did not score enough points. Hopefully the NW game meant something from a play calling standpoint. To me, OC Petersen seemed to call plays not to lose. Like a number of UI play callers before him, use of the middle of the field on passing...

    Austin Hutcherson out for season

    His health was great ....... the sit-out transfer year. Just awful.

    Cincinnati 71, Illinois 51 Postgame

    This must be Whiner's Central. If you can't figure this out, try thinking. Instead of using the first 2 games to work things out, we were playing without 4 of our top 6 players. 2 back from injuries against Marquette, and 2 more tonight. This TEAM can't be the Kofi/Belo extravaganza. Won't work...

    I'm not complaining on the last series, although that loss of 3 first down run call made zero sense. I am clearly not a fan of the play calling. What pissed me off most was the series where we took the ball over and "ran the clock" with a couple of 1 yard runs and punted it away with 4+ minutes...

    Maryland 20, Illinois 17 Postgame

    We fought to the end, which is always a good sign. Bret played this out like he had his Wisconsin horses to do it. He doesn't. Peters needs much better blocking support and offensive play calling that creates confusion in the defense. We don't even throw quick slants (a nice way to get 6 yards...

    Maryland 20, Illinois 17 Postgame

    The offensive coordinator played not to lose. Run some clock and punt and leave it up to the D. I'd much prefer to use the full offense and get several first downs and make them use their timeouts. We seem to have a solid 2-3 yard run game on first down. Not really something to build on. Our...
