Game Thread: Illinois at Iowa

[Champaign88]

Why not challenge the spot on IW’s catch?

 

[Battle89]

Not sure why Bret did not challenge the spot on the sideline catch. Looks like he got the first down easily. Did he step out of bounds?

 

[Chillinini]

Dude, just go forward!

 

[Flyin' Illini]

Paddock with a bad move there.

He was stuffed up the middle. Just trying to make something happen and it didn't work

 

[ChicagoIllini]

That was the obvious result after we didn't challenge the incorrect spot on the preceding play.

 

[skyIdub]

Paddock thought he was Barry Sanders for a sec.

 

[LFOD]

Yeah looked like he had it and then made a second move…

 

[dbeverly26]

lunge my man

 

[BDMAN]

Paddock with a bad move there.

Yep, gotta go north and south get that yard.

 

[IlliniFaninHoosierLand]

These boos are sweet music to my ears.

 

[CogDog]

Brutal.

These games take years off my life

Unless forward progress was called as "stopped", that spot was at least 2 yards off. Terrible to not get reviewed.

Paddock also made a great spin move, but made the mistake of not keeping forward progress. Tough sequence.

 

[Keisersose]

Bad play call. Why are we so bad at 3rd and less than a yard!??!!???!!!!!

 

[SuperMetroid]

He had it if he falls forward there

 

[TheChief4Life]

Hopefully that !!!!! up doesn’t cost us. MaKe the FG, keep playing D.

 

[aaeismacgychel]

Yeah looked like he had it and then made a second move…

I legitimately thought he was going to pitch it to Isaiah

 

[Jimbo]

I guess we kick the 3 here, right? No brainer?

 

[zentrails]

Yep that was almost a TD

 

[CogDog]

No Feagin is hurting us.

 

[CDRUSN]

Luke is definitely our QB of the future, but with a slower release and a recent concussion, John was the only good choice to give us a chance to pull this one out today.

 

[Mr. Tibbs]

gotta kick here

 

[JimILL75]

Gee if we only had a big tall, bad boy running back. Would have been an easy first down. If only our RB's had stayed healthy this year much different season.

 

[Coop70]

Yes, and I'm 71.

 

[HailtotheChief]

I saw the rubber pellets fly outta bounds but I didn't get a clear view if Williams was actually out or not
