Game Thread: Illinois at Iowa

[squeezegame]

Slant pass to Turner for a TD called back because they called our OLineman downfield - the 2nd flag for OLineman downfield called after Ferentz whined to the refs. Next pass picked in the endzone via underthrown pass.

Thank you!

On the ineligible downfield calls... I go weeks without hearing one of those called, in ANY football game, and yet they call two on us in one drive, the second one marginal at best? Total BS.

As was that "holding" call

As was the "fumble" on our first play

The ineligible man call isn't called because offensive lineman typically don't try to go downfield and try to block linebackers on pass plays. It's baffling that our guy is even trying to do that. Whether he was 3 yards downfield exactly or not, he shouldn't even be looking to block that guy on a pass.

The holding call was right.

The fumble call was bad, way too close to call. It should have stood as called on the field. As was the personal foul in the end zone after the Iowa TD.

Surprised they didn't call a personal foul

 

[SuperMetroid]

I was getting ready to go to Iowa if they didn't throw a flag on that!

Ref: "Pass interference - Offense - the receiver's shirt got caught in the defensive players hand"

Let's !!!!ing go!!!

 

[Neidermeyer]

Did we get a call? Look what we can do when we only have to battle the other team and not the refs too!

Finally. If it wasn't for these awful penalties we'd really have a chance to not only remain competitive but win this game.

 

[BWBW]

Touchdown, by the offense!

 

[ATL Chief]

Who saw this coming??? Man, most fun I've had watching IL in a long while.

 

[illinifan87]

Amazing what a passing attack can do to open up an offense.

Win or lose, if the Illini can play this level of football consistently, I'll be happy. Lovie can build on this.
