Game Thread: Illinois at Iowa

[Deleted member 746654]

The OL has done a pretty good job so far. When they blitz 7, it’s going to be hard for any OL to stop that.

What I meant to say is that if Peters would wait 2 seconds extra to snap the ball as they show into blitz it would give his lineman a chance

That's 2 quarters without scoring a point

I like the job this D is doing. If we hold them to 3 here, the O needs to Illini up and do something.

It's gonna have to be a 4th quarter comeback.

I’m doing my part, I’m drinking my !!! off

Mmmm...we have played fairly well...but missed some key opportunities...turnover fairy has been a little tight....still in it though after 3. I was there last year and on my way home at this point. Not content but progress, particularly on defense.

I can say with full confidence that the coaches put this team in position to win the game. They have either not made the plays(Harding), have made boneheaded plays(Peters) or the kicker was God awful(twice).

This is a game that we should really be winning.

I agree with that. The 4th down before the half is a great example of why this is important.

 

[Halloweenie]

They are going to go I think

It's been almost 2 weeks since our last one! I'm sick of waiting!

 

[Halloweenie]

Glad they kicked.. don't think we could have stopped them...

 

[Retro62]

Still some hope

 

[BWBW]

Let's own the 4th quarter.

Agree.. although not a well coached last 30 sec in first half. Otherwise, agree 100 percent

When's the last time we trailed at Iowa by 9 in the 4th, and felt like the game was within reach?

I could get used to this.

Millen : "<insert coach's name here>, he's one of my favorites"

And shouldn't Paterno's name be forever stricken from the B1G record books?

 

[Deleted member 656517]

Alright our back’s against the wall right where we want to be. Time to strike!
