Game Thread: Illinois at Maryland

[LFOD]

That INT is not the QB fault. What are the refs looking at when it is in the middle of the field

 

[illinidarrin]

Here we go again.

 

[TheChief4Life]

Dangit…

 

[Mr. Tibbs]

drat

 

[Fighter of the Nightman]

Ugh.

 

[RockfordIllini]

They have a ball pop out at mid field and manage to fall on it. We have tough luck on a no call and tipped ball goes right to their DB at mid field. 7-7. Just been that kind of year.

 

[illiram]

It's past time for PI calls to become reviewable. I'm not just talking about our games, I have seen several games decided by awful PI calls and no-calls. Give each team one challenge per half for a PI call.

 

[zentrails]

Ugh.

7 points with a huge help from the refs

 

[LFOD]

Well, better than I expected after 1 Quarter.

 

[Fighting I 95]

We cant have anything nice. Drive should have been extended with a chance to score, now its tied. If that was us there would have been 10 flags on the field.

 

[Marshall_Lucky]

Bounce back from this

Yeah, just brutal non-call. Probably cost us points and then gave Maryland a short field.

I feel like I’ve seen that a lot more this year than I ever have before. I’m wondering if this will get addressed in the off-season with the rules committee.

I was thinking the same thing. I don't like it.

 

[zentrails]

Well, better than I expected after 1 Quarter.

Good start by the 2 young RBs especially

 

[Jimbo]

Small sample size but i like our freshman running back combo.

 

[Iamgroot]

Spread the ball around continue to run defense starting decent especially without Randolph stay strong fellas alot of ball to play still

 

[BWBW]

I too like the announcers. Positive, on point, called missed PI.

 

[kyillinifan]

That play Md ran works all the time. I like the way we are running the ball . Refs missed the PI.

 

[WWWWRocU]

Yeah, just brutal non-call. Probably cost us points and then gave Maryland a short field.

Agreed. Replay showed PI.

 

[RML]

Good start by the 2 young RBs especially

And the two lines look pretty solid.

 

[Marshall_Lucky]

That was probably the best quarter we've played this year honestly. Looked generally competent

 

[Navy_illini]

Newton playing on this defense will help him in the NFL. In the NFL he won’t be tripled team. You think our defense could take advantage

I would put 17 as a spy for the mobile qb and I would try a corner blitz on Newton’s side

 

[Homecoming 2019]

Altmyer has played well, a bs interception doesn't change that as much as the announcers seem to think so.

 

[LoveLovie]

Our rb’s are finding the right cuts so far

 

[pvaughn8]

Nice to see a RB with more than 0.5 yards after contact
