Game Thread: Illinois at Nebraska

[altenberger22]

Peters' grade so far.......A++

 

[BWBW]

Wonder if they will switch QBs?

 

[ILL_INI]

You're only as good as your qb. Nebraska is not very good.

 

[OrangeAndBlueBlooded]

Caught a break there holding them to a field goal. Surprisingly getting a well officiated game for a change.

I would call it favorably officiated. The pass ruled a lateral looked wrong to me and Bhebe pushed off on his TD. Nice to see us making some plays though.

 

[altenberger22]

Darn --- injury. Barnes.

 

[Fr8trn16]

Horrible ankle injury for Barnes! That's huge!

 

[LoveLovie]

Bad injury for Barnes.....

 

[altenberger22]

A 5 minute drive culminating in a FG would work right now.

 

[Fr8trn16]

Hopefully we can make it through the second half playing the same!

 

[Sawicky]

I know there is supposed to be a gap between QB1 and QB 2, but wow. Huge huge gap in Illinois case.

A 5 minute drive culminating in a FG would work right now.

How about a 4:44 minute drive and a TD?

 

[altenberger22]

I wonder how the Husker fans would be enjoying this game if they were 85,000 strong in attendance today.

 

[CubsIlliniFan]

I would like to see IW in the second half to surprise Nebby

A screen - didn't know that was in our playbook

 

[Ramrod2010]

We may still lose, this is Illinois football after all, but Nebraska is bad.

 

[altenberger22]

Rod Smith grade today......A

Nebraska defense grade today.....F

 

[Fr8trn16]

I know there is supposed to be a gap between QB1 and QB 2, but wow. Huge huge gap in Illinois case.

Huge gap in playing time... equals experience and comfortability.

 

[altenberger22]

I'm seeing a lot of really nice blocking by our WR's today.

 

[CubsIlliniFan]

Why is the clock stopped?

 

[MoCoMdIllini]

Nebraska timeout?

 

[altenberger22]

1:41 to go in the half

1. Our game plan has been solid
2. Football is bouncing our way today
3. Refs have been generous in our favor
4. McCaffery thus far looks like a Freshman

 

[Fr8trn16]

I like McCaffrey as a QB! Just don't like him against us!

 

[CubsIlliniFan]

Nebraska timeout?

I see that they called a TO Huge sack!!
