Game Thread: Illinois at Purdue

[KevinC]

did you guys see Washington route.. he faked out that was was gonna go right or left and then just turned around allowing the DB to close... then we follow it up with completing a pass play 7 yards before the first down marker... it is so obvious how bad of a recruiting job Lovie really did here.. we are talent wise, the worst in the big

How are you blaming Lovie for what BB's staff is calling?!!

and just like clock work.. our DB give up ANOTHER 40 yard plus play... ANOTHER

I am blaming lovie that we don't have the players to execute the play calling.. you can have the best coaches.. but if you don't have the players.. you will not be a good team..

remember it was BB himself that said our team is not very good mentally at all... that they have horrible habits developed over the last few years and it will take a while to change that..

The current staff has to call plays for what they think Lovie's players can execute.

 

[ILL_INI]

I liked that Plummer guy better

BP's arm is starting to loosen up a bit.

Peters spotting the ball a bit better lately, but that last one could have been 4 inches wider.

He is constantly late with the ball, should be throwing at the break, not waiting for reciever to clear. Either doesn't know the route or doesn't trust reciever

And the opposite. The best players will look horrible with the coaches that we seem to have.

Imagine you’re a high school math teacher…

Oh wait, I already tried to explain this analogy in the pregame thread and someone thought I was literally talking about math…

 

[IllinistuckinGopherland]

Seems like an important play there

 

[Ramrod2010]

They are both acceptable.

 

[SuperMetroid]

Wow what a pick by Joseph!

 

[Ransom Stoddard]

Joseph is front runner for a game ball with that pick.

It is amazing that Lovie ever won a game.

 

[TheChief4Life]

Thank god!

 

[Go Nats 88 Illini]

[SoILL_INI]

You know, O'Connell is ok

 

[GilThorpe]

nice

 

[New Creation]

and I don't mind when #25 Joesph makes me eat my words.. great play by him... this is his first start right?

 

[Coop70]

there is RARELY any "fluidity" to the pass plays

True enough!

 

[RoundBalcs]

Can he play receiver too??!?

 

[Go Nats 88 Illini]

They bent...but... Now let's get 6!

 

[Ransom Stoddard]

17-39 speaks for itself.

 

[MaineIllini]

Really like staying with the 3 man rush in the red zone
