Game Thread: Illinois at Indiana

[skyIdub]

Naked bootleg was the obvious call on 4th down. Tommy D. can run.... and the entire universe knew Chase Brown was getting the ball.

It's time to SCORE! We score a touchdown and put this game away! A field goal might even get the job done, but I'd feel more confident with an 8 point lead!

 

[aaeismacgychel]

This was the reason I'd have also gone for it on 4th. We've owned the line of scrimmage, especially against the run. Even if you miss you give it back to them on the goal line. That said, I definitely would've called the pitch or run a naked.

 

[IMPE ALL STAR]

If you don’t throw the backwards pass you have a FG earlier. Then you def don’t go for it here. Six more points right now would be pretty nice.

We’re going to lose on a late FG aren’t we?

 

[Illini4life79]

Throw the ball. They were keying on Brown. Rollout toss.

This is the correct call. Thought it should have been a no brainers.

 

[Dbell1981]

Lets get 7 here

 

[Dbell1981]

This is the correct call. Thought it should have been a no brainers.

Play action would have been nice.

Those sweeps with Williams have been great keeping them honest on Chase. I would like to see a few of those with him getting it or not n run out this clock.

That or a rollout pass would have been nice on 3rd OR 4th on that drive. A very Tony Peterson moment for Lunney there. Especially running it left on 4th when missing your anchor LT.

Even the kicker should be able to make basically a 20-25 yard FG.

I know but the way he looked last week, I don't have a lot of faith in him.

 

[Ramrod2010]

We really want to give this one away, my goodness.

 

[Illiniaaron]

Can we try something else please

 

[aaeismacgychel]

What in the heck are they reviewing here?

 

[FloridaMan]

Why, Lord, why do they do this to us?????? Will we ever get over the hump?

 

[IlliniFaninHoosierLand]

I know but the way he looked last week, I don't have a lot of faith in him.

Even most high school kickers can make chip shots like that.

 

[skyIdub]

It's like Indinia ordered a B1G conference win....and we are acting like a frazzled kitchen trying to prepare it for them.

 

[Fighter of the Nightman]

Was fully expecting this to be IU ball.

 

[UCantHideYer]

I've never seen Illinois dominate a game so clearly and still be at major risk to lose

PSU 7OT last year was similar

 

[superfan]

Chase Brown is carrying this offense. Someone else needs to step up.

 

[eas23]

Chase looks exhausted. Something to pay attention to while McCray is out.

 

[Illiniaaron]

Can we try something else please

Apparently not

 

[MoCoMdIllini]

Clutch run right there

 

[GoodePodzMelendez]

Why aren’t we using play action?

 

[TheChief4Life]

Getting predictable…

 

[skyIdub]

Good grief this Allen guy is going to stroke out.

 

[DeonThomas]

TE please. 6 yards.
