Game Thread: Illinois at Purdue

[Ryllini]

Feagin went awfully high to try and get through. Made himself easy to tackle. He has to get tougher. And the line got whipped

 

[Jimbo]

That;s something the Lions coach would’ve tried.

 

[Pikeillinifan]

I cannot understand what they are thinking.

 

[RDS]

Going for it was correct IMO. Botching the execution is ridiculous

 

[New Creation]

That should’ve been a naked boot for Luke

 

[RML]

Yeh, a run up the middle wasn't a good call there.

 

[SuperMetroid]

 

[Illini2010-11]

Agree with decision to go for it, but the line just got beat easily on the play. Never had a chance.

 

[Retro62]

Don’t get that at all. Go up 16 and this is over.

 

[illiram]

My entire group was yelling TAKE THE THREE POINTS.....you CANNOT let that happen

 

[BWBW]

Frustrating

 

[Second place is 1st loser]

Don't mind the call. Even though he got stuffed, Purdue has to go 95 yards, recover an inside kick and score again.

 

[UCantHideYer]

Kaden & Luke not on same page with that hand off

 

[DrMac210]

INEXCUSABLE! Take the 3, go up by 16

 

[KBLEE]

Would have gotten further with the tush push.

 

[ugottabjoshinme]

Should take the points there so 14 doesn’t beat you.

 

[skyIdub]

Your OLine is not who you lean on there. You lean on your playmakers.

 

[DERV64]

Dumb. ...ol has been weak and soft all game. ..why go for it? Take the points. If this is a W, its the worst W ive seen in a while

 

[thehass]

Don't understand not going for the field goal especially when we did the predictable hand it off to Feagin up the middle. Hope this doesn't come back to haunt.

 

[punchabove33]

Luke played the defender here….

 

[ChiTown]

Slow developing ball hand off by the QB.,

 

[From the cheap seats]

Math is hard I guess. Stubborn, stubborn, stubborn. Gonna run come hell or high water…

 

[OskeeLoyalty]

Sometimes Barry telegraphs what he is gonna do, and I hope there is gonna be some misdirection... guess I shouldn't be shocked when the play is efficiently stopped

 

[Battle89]

Poor hand off.. someone screwed up.

Agree but I don’t think we get it anyway. Lots of penetration and the barge was leaking.

 

[Sedino]

I am truly happy that the people complaining about going for it there are not our coach.
