Game Thread: Illinois at Purdue

[Illiniaaron]

God crossing routes crossing routes all season long.

 

[Oskeefan]

We haven't been close to a sack, pass rush has disappeared.

 

[IlliniJim20]

Thomas can't recognize the blitz.

Neither apparently, can the OL.

 

[Illiniaaron]

The edges have been open all day too.

 

[FT35]

Turner is out for the rest of the game.

At WRs it's pretty much just Smalling, Thieman, Mays and Smith as scholarship WRs.

 

[Ransom Stoddard]

Another targeting. seems like we've had more than 4 this season.

 

[FT35]

That's the once a game targeting call on Green.

 

[dsg]

Wouldn't be an Illinois game without someone getting kicked out for targeting.

 

[Ransom Stoddard]

Wow. That one looked more obvious than some of the others we've had.

 

[Illiniaaron]

wow

 

[FT35]

Wow! No targeting.

 

[IlliniJim20]

But was ball loose before he was down?

Edit, I see his knee was down

 

[dsg]

Wow, that's surprising! Looked like targeting on my tv.

 

[Halloweenie]

Green should spend the rest of the season picking up jock straps in the locker room

 

[FT35]

But was ball loose before he was down?

Yes, looked like a fumble to me.

 

[BWBW]

Well, did we catch a break?

 

[IlliniJim20]

Looked like Green turned a bit before hitting QB

 

[FT35]

Well, did we catch a break?

Probably. That looked like targeting to me.

 

[TheFlyingIllini1317]

Maybe went in with the shoulder, don't think that was indisputable. I was lucky enough to talk with Desmond Howard (I know boo Michigan) but he was very critical of how inconsistent targeting is called and college refs in general.

 

[Illiniaaron]

That's game. I can't picture Illinois scoring two touchdowns.

 

[FT35]

That should be ball game. I can't imagine Illinois putting together two TD drives.

 

[Halloweenie]

Green again.. closest man to that play it appears

 

[IlliniJim20]

I have flipped my position on Lovie, Hardy and defense on targeting. Happens way too often to not hold coaches responsible. Players too.

 

[Illiniaaron]

This roster just can't beat anybody.

 

[FT35]

Is it JGJ, the game is out of hand, time? Not too many people to throw to. Maybe put Dorsey out in the slot since he's essentially just a tall WR at this point.
