Game Thread: Illinois at Iowa

[oldschool51]

Guys! Guys! I got it!!

We have to be down in the second half for more drama!! Now we're mad in the locker room!! Lovie is a sneaky genius!

You sir are a better person than i am

That was a terrible end to the half. Illinois had the ball, two timeouts, 2nd & 2 at the Iowa 41, with 34 seconds left, and Iowa ends up with 3 points out of it.

This. You run the ball twice....kill the clock with 5 sec.....kick it. But I'll defer to 143 more posts by Twangers to explain why that's not correct.

Didn't think Brandon was that bad. Receivers had a couple drops. Would give him C plus, B minus.

Brandon played fine at times. But there were crucial times when he had guys open and threw it to their feet.

Could have been swirling, you saw our punts right?

I am not there, are you? Just repeating what the announcers said at the time.....

 

[skyIdub]

Fine, run it into stack and kick it. Fail Game Theory 101.

One.

 

[Twangers]

Any news on Hobbs? He’s a far more important part of this game than that last sequence.

Navarro catches that ball, no argument. Needed to get to 30 imo for a decent chance at fg. Second half. Let's go.

He ran into a stack.

Peters also could have waited to call for the ball to be snapped. As it was, Iowa timed the blitz perfectly.

 

[skyIdub]

Dre Brown!! Two runs! First down! Into a stack!

 

[Halloweenie]

Peters..nice

 

[618Illini618]

You know, with all the injuries, I’ll take being down 6 at half, on the road to the #17 team that beat us 63-0 last year

 

[Twangers]

Atta boy Brandon!

 

[Halloweenie]

I like that play..where they fake the short pass..then throw downfield.

 

[BWBW]

Rats

 

[Twangers]

Oh my god.

 

[tyrannosaurus scorus]

WTF Peters

 

[OrangeAndBlueBlooded]

Didn't need it.

 

[JFGsCoffeeMug]

LMAO. Peters.

 

[Illiniaaron]

What.....the hell....was that?

 

[Halloweenie]

Ok.... Peters drops to a D with that inexplicable throw.

How many lives does a hawk have?

Such a bad throw

 

[tru82]

Oh man. I was waiting for this score so I could be all “see! Just watch us do our 2h thing!” And then that throw?!? You don’t HAVE to throw it, man.

Ok let’s go D.
