Game Thread: Illinois at Minnesota

[CDRUSN]

Have to think that with a hungry, rested J. Newton in there next half in a nasty mood, we may be able to force some 3 and outs, Always thought we gave ourselves a chance to win this one if it was close at the half. Plus, we receive the kick too.

1:15 touchdown drive.

 

[RDS]

Why not call a TO there?

Got outsmarted by Fleck. He left O out there and BB feared they’d go for it. Silly. Need to take that TO right there

 

[TheChief4Life]

Wow…. Simple spin move destroyed the RT.

 

[OrangeAndBlueBlooded]

Altmyer is constantly receiving the snap at his ankles.

 

[Pikeillinifan]

Not sure about that timeout with such a long third down.

 

[Jimbo]

Ugh. Stay in bounds dude.

 

[Illiniguy13]

Bret needs some sunglasses

 

[TheChief4Life]

Hmmmm…

That was all sorts of bad

 

[aaeismacgychel]

We call a timeout for 3rd and 15? Then we have our wr run out of bounds short of the line for 4th and long in our own territory? What are we doing?

 

[FloridaMan]

Hey, I have a great idea. Let's drop our DBs 25 yards.

Edit: Minny let us off the hook

 

[skyIdub]

Newton gotta come out of the half like we wrecked his Camaro...

 

[BRucks]

We call TO and stop the clock then short pass to side

Not sure about that timeout with such a long third down.

Then short sideline pass?

 

[Jimbo]

ok. We’ve got a chance. I think Newton will make a difference.

 

[LFOD]

Okay, things could be worse. Let’s hope Johnny Newton fires up the D.

 

[aaeismacgychel]

At least Minnesota ran out the clock there. If they would've gotten free points out of that, I swear... what has been up with our clock management these past 2 weeks? Just a horrendous job

 

[PattyOBryant]

How many cans of Celsius does Fleck drink at halftime? I get anxious just watching that guy

 

[IlliniTaffy]

Newton is coming, Illinois will win

 

[Jimbo]

Hey, I have a great idea. Let's drop our DBs 25 yards.

Edit: Minny let us off the hook

Never been so happy to see the other team take a knee.

 

[CDRUSN]

Newton needs to come out on fire this half, like the Gophers have been insulting his mama all game.

 

[TheChief4Life]

Too obvious

 

[Pikeillinifan]

Of all the things we couldn’t let happen.

 

[TheChief4Life]

Wow… absolutely atrocious.

 

[dsg]

Well, this is an unfortunate turn of events.

 

[thehass]

Nothing like a fast start.
