Great job by the guys, that could’ve been ugly

Yeah, that could've been a straight up brawl. Just an ugly ugly play there by Reimer. Took a lot of self-control for nobody to start throwing punches

 

[1970 John]

Man I want the D to keep them at 9 points after all this.

I wanted to keep them under ten.

Awfully close, guys.

 

[1970 John]

So, do they trust Williams with the ball again? Definitely more Chase Brown

Yes.

What was Nebraska coach hot about? I couldn’t tell.

What was Nebraska coach hot about? I couldn’t tell.

We tried to hand them the game...and they couldn't take it.

Tommy probably exchanged niceties on the sideline with that guy that slammed him into a chest......in his own Jersey way.

 

[RML]

Love the idea that this game is over if we get a touchdown here. Still in the 3d quarter.
Yep, times have changed.

 

[SuperMetroid]

I think where they spotted the ball

 

[Tbear90]

You are correct the announcers on TV are just gushing about Nebraska. They should be talking about the Illini, who are about to go 7 and 1. Our and the teams destiny awaits us in Indianapolis!

Reimer should have been ejected for purposely trying to shove TDV into an equipment cabinet when he was already several yards out of bounds. One of the dirtiest hits I have seen this year.

I think Tommy might have baited him into doing that and the sideline knew it, just a guess

 

[HailtotheChief]

Another stupid penalty after a great defensive play!

Yep and we're fortunate earlier after a third down stop by Taz he wasn't flagged for unsportsmanlike like or taunting. Was yapping at Palmer doing the cry baby hand motion in Palmers face that he got away with.

Griffin is pretty good when he doesn't get iced by his own coach.

 

[dbeverly26]

The bright side is that I got the under today but I don’t like that FG decision.

 

[Pikeillinifan]

I’ll take the points. Just win, we don’t need style points.

 

[aaeismacgychel]

Griffin has had a good game today.

 

[Mr. Roberts]

Griffin is pretty good when he doesn't get iced by his own coach.

He never got the chance there - the false start forced the punt.

 

[DeonThomas]

OK.
Hold em'.
Then Score once More.
Game Over.

DEVITO Efficiency Appreciation Day

 

[Jimbo]

I don’t mind the fg. Another 3 and we should win this.

 

[WeWillWhen]

I’ll take a 2 TD lead with the way our D is playing now against a backup QB.

 

[dsg]

Block in the back as well.

Right- but I think the time out happened right before the 52 yard field goal.
