Game Thread: Illinois at Iowa

[trtl]

I don’t know how to feel.

 

[LFOD]

Well, manageable score, but I’m not sure our defense can hold up in the second half.

 

[Pikeillinifan]

Forget everything else, after what we’ve seen in past years playing Iowa, I’ll take a four point halftime deficit any day.

 

[thehass]

What lousy play calls. We are 4-6 on the season.Throw the ball downfield and maybe something good happens.

 

[Sawicky]

Being down 4 at halftime isn't too bad. Please make adjustments and let's play to win

 

[Hof]

If you are going to call time out, call time out. Watching 4 or 5 second roll off shows they have no clue what they want to do as a coaching staff.

At least he didn't just except 13-17 and go to half. We're 4 and 6. What do you have to lose ? Should've tried passing but Peter's is the qb. Lol

I'd much rather have seen 3 throws downfield and then punt than that series we just saw. Playing not to lose again, but you are losing!

 

[SescIllini]

Poor calls on that 2 and 5 when we were at Iowa's 25. We needed to run the clock down and get a first. Two pass plays no bueno.

We settled for a field goal and gave Iowa a ton of time to score. We aren't goid enough to try the higher risk plays.

Aside from the interception Peters hasn't been terrible passing today. But, I'd like to see Brown and McCray get rolling in the second half

 

[skyIdub]

Well...BP is who we thought he is. Scripted first series he does well......improvising in the pocket? Dear baby Jesus.

 

[Pennsy]

I'd like to see Brown and McCray get rolling in the second half

But not by getting stuffed running up the middle all the time.

 

[TheChief4Life]

The defense has done what it has been expected to thus far. Remember, Iowa has had a return TD and a TD off of a prayer 3rd down pass in which the defense was all over the QB. If we continue playing D like we did in the first half, losing this game would fall squarely on then offense’s shoulders.

This opening drive from Iowa has me worried though.

 

[FrankNitty30]

I understand not running it out of the end zone, but a fair catch at the 10 isn’t good.

The 7……… 7.

 

[DocMorgan]

Avery continually gettin blown backward off the LOS.

 

[illinoistradition]

Calvin Avery is getting OWNED up front. Rod Perry is sorely missed there.

 

[Oskeefan]

really missing Rod Perry, they are mauling us

 

[TheChief4Life]

Offense, your time to shine!

 

[LFOD]

I don’t think McCray is the answer against this defense

 

[DocMorgan]

Calvin Avery is getting OWNED up front. Rod Perry is sorely missed there.

 

[skyIdub]

Good grief.

 

[TheChief4Life]

What the F&$* is going on all of sudden? Peters looks completely inept again. Jesus…

 

[Pikeillinifan]

Classic Brandon.

 

[BRucks]

Here we go.

 

[Oskeefan]

that sack is on BP

 

[LFOD]

Who’s gonna play QB next year, one wonders.
