Game Thread: Illinois at Oregon

[skyIdub]

Well....just in case...I had "Mow the lawn in the 2nd quarter" on my bingo card.

 

[Mr. Roberts]

2 pretty egregiously bad calls on one play, both in Oregon's favor, and 1 of those calls was automatically challengeable. I have no clue how that went down. That was some Michigan level bs there

It was a facemask. His knee was not down. It could have been grounding. Refs call? Just put it here.

 

[Krombopulos_Michael]

Welp.

 

[LarryGotFouled]

We need to bring a lot more pressure. Can’t get off the field.

 

[Mr. Tibbs]

gonna be real hard now

 

[FoundersClub]

I guess they’re #1 for a reason.

 

[aaeismacgychel]

How can that possibly be intentional grounding? He had a receiver less than 5ft from where the ball landed, Gene. Stop trying to excuse the refs for blatantly bad calls

 

[Mr. Roberts]

Double ugh.

 

[Krombopulos_Michael]

Please sustain a drive and give the defense a chance to regroup

 

[Jimbo]

So Tuttle isn’t playing quarterback, right?

 

[Flyin' Illini]

If the QB can just stand calmly in the pocket for 5+ seconds without anyone getting close to him, they are going to put 50+ points on us today.

 

[abchew2]

Just beat the spread at a minimum

 

[Pikeillinifan]

Not the best start.

 

[Keisersose]

Now they are saying it was intentional grounding. But a ref pointed at out WR showing he was in the vicinity. Don’t was a bad call anyway. And we couldn’t challenge it.

14-0 now. Needed to keep them off the field.

So Tuttle isn’t playing quarterback, right?

Sadly, no. It’s the antituttle.

 

[skyIdub]

I get that he's not blitzing and rushing in hopes that we can keep big plays in front of us....but it's not working.

Adjust or die trying.

 

[SuperMetroid]

Defensive play calling just a wee bit conservative so far

 

[Illini-Rule]

I'm watching the game in the Dallas airport on my 5 hour layover.

if it was a penalty , there was no flag thrown

 

[Ramrod2010]

For the sake of the rest of the season, just get out of this game healthy.

For a little icing on top, go ahead and get the win.

Change of plans, just stay healthy.

 

[Mr. Roberts]

Now or never, boys.

 

[Flyin' Illini]

Gene. Stop trying to excuse the refs for blatantly bad calls

Gene Steratore with the hard hitting analysis, as always.

"This might be what they called, but we don't know."

This feels very Meowboys right now.....

 

[AT6]

I don’t think Bret has any answers. We’re totally outclassed.

 

[CaptainCrutch]

Plenty of time folks calm down
