And I'll ask again. What qb would thrive in his shoes tonight? No one would. It's an ultimate team game and it's ridiculous to be critical of Luke playing actually well dealing with what he is tonight. No one open and non stop pressure but yet 0 turnovers and a td pass.
Our lines are the issue and our inability to rush the football or consistently pressure their qb. If Luke and IUs qb switched teams tonight Luke would be killing our squad too and mendoza would be struggling and likely fumbled or turned it over forcing the ball. Luke is not to blame!
Yup.. Indy has the rhythm, has the momentum, the excitement, and the sauce... Not a single position where we haven't been out-played... not one...

We got punched in the mouth and lost our poise. Disappointing to see from such a veteran group.

Going forward, the secondary should get healthy... hopefully?

But the OLine? That might put a pretty hard cap on what this team can accomplish this year.

The hate on OC/DC is ridiculous. We were going to fire them in the middle of what ended up being a 10 win season? Okay.

The one coach who should absolutely not be back next year is Bart Miller. No more excuses for the OL being so average to below average. This has been every year for the last four. And we have all returning starters this year. Unbelievable.
Does he wear leggings though?

If the Illini play like this against OSU in 3 weeks, Memorial Stadium will be a ghost town by half time. After an embarrassing beat down, Bert coached teams normally rebound and show more fight. We hit bottom this half, will we finally stop digging when we come back out of the tunnel?
3 starying dbs 2 of which are all B10 dbs back may effect this game and next.

We need a moving pocket to get some time for Luke! No progress means no stress on them! The line has continually failed and they need to make plays that are executed in 2.5 seconds or the pocket is gone!!

At a concert, checked out the halftime score and wow. Seems like the people who were 'waiting for the Illini we know" were right

We make great adjustments. Chip away, hold them to 10 in the second half.

Only way. Highly unlikely, but it’s the only way.

targeting calls are the most mystifying plays in college FB games ............I watch a lot of games and now I have zero idea of what actually consists of targeting.....

I say again the official in the white cap looks exactly like the one from the stolen game a couple or three years ago......

Beat them at their own own game with read options/roll out passes... Valentine feature back and let Altmeyer use his legs(love Feagin but nothing special there)

I’m not sure what else Scott is supposed to do on that play

The offensive troubles are on Lunney.

Look at all of Luke’s sacks. By the time he needs to throw the ball the receivers all have their backs to him and haven’t made their breaks yet. He’s keeping Feagin in to block so he’s not a check down, and the TEs are doing little curls but being draped by the LB.
