Game Thread: Illinois at Minnesota

[Mr. Roberts]

The refs have entered the building.

 

[thehass]

Penalties are not our friend.

 

[IlliniForceOne]

We need a timely turnover or hold to 3

 

[purcy51]

Looked pretty clean to me

 

[IlliniForceOne]

Man, let em play.

 

[pruman91]

looks like the refs made the biggest halftime adjustments...........

 

[BDMAN]

Defense is starting to get fatigued mentally Offensive needs to do something the next series hopefully the defense can hold them to a field goal on this drive.

 

[EyeoftheIllini]

That reverse just seems badly constructed. By waiting for the receiver to start his pattern so late, the safety has the play in front of him so he’s not going to be faked out by the reverse and it is an easy cover for him — with a pass being thrown by non-QB. Seems like they need to move receiver out of their and have another receiver(s) working his way to that side of field.

3rd & 17. Lets go ILLINI!! Big stop right here

 

[IlliniForceOne]

Big, big play coming here

 

[MaineIllini]

I would like to see a better replay of that catch.

 

[sully]

damn nice catch by that Gopher WR. We NEED to get a big stop here. Go Illini defense

 

[FloridaMan]

Whatever happens here, it's time for our offense to sustain a drive and get some kind of points.

 

[thehass]

This 4th down play is critical

 

[pruman91]

Why do I think the refs will have a part in this 4th down play ???

 

[Mr. Roberts]

This 4th down play is critical

That statement seems redundant to me. But your right.

 

[thehass]

Why do I think the refs will have a part in this 4th down play ???

Because they are wearing red and gold.

 

[illiram11]

Roughing the passer, the QBs feelings were hurt, Defense, automatic, first down!

 

[SoILL_INI]

I hate that this is becoming a tale of two halves!!!!!

 

[TheFlyingIllini1317]

Prather has to make that play. Gopher catch reminds me of Langen last week...

What really bothers me is reverse on 2nd down, even if no 1st some yards puts in fg range.

 

[pruman91]

We have to get the offense going ....don't want a replay of the second half of last week

 

[PNWIllini]

That works

 

[BWBW]

Great sack

 

[OrangeAndBlueBlooded]

Carney's rowing the boat!

 

[TheChief4Life]

Huge stop! Now, can we sustain a drive… PLEASE?!
