Game Thread: Illinois at Rutgers

[UI2009]

The announcers have been all over it, but Crouch is playing hurt. You can see it in the way he carries his throwing shoulder, uses his non-dominant hand to put his helmet on and take it off, and we are not running the read option for him . . .

Which means they really must not trust JG Jr.

3 broken tackles. . .BY A FLIPPIN' QB?

 

[SuperMetroid]

Pathetic tackling on this drive.

 

[FlCowboy94]

Wow pathetic tackling

 

[FT35]

Can we ever stop a team on 3rd and long?

 

[StateFarmCenter]

Good spot for us I think.

Edit: or not

 

[HoustonIllini]

That's not fair. Rutgers game-losing effort thus far has been beyond reproach. We're yet to bobble a 4th down snap.

We ARE give no them a run for their money though

 

[FlCowboy94]

I can easily see us giving this game away...our offense is offensive...without big plays we haven't had an offense to speak of...the defense is getting pushed around

Not if they run a QB draw and don't block anybody.

This would be some kind of a loss, dear lord.

 

[BillyBob1]

Oh no. The backup qb. Good chance he looks like Joe Montana today.

Looks like he got the word.

 

[FT35]

This QB had no stats this season outside of a 42 yard run against Howard.

 

[FlCowboy94]

Thank god

 

[HoustonIllini]

NICE!

 

[UI2009]

Darius! He runs faster than Kendrick

Pick six!

 

[SuperMetroid]

We're #11! We're #11!

 

[HoustonIllini]

Pass tipped at the line?

 

[StateFarmCenter]

This is one of the worst games I've ever seen us play and we're up 17

 

[FT35]

YES!!! Thank you.

 

[Second and Chalmers]

That appeared to have been deflected at the line.

 

[BillyBob1]

Qb is winded trying to make the tackle. He's do for another turnover!

 

[FT35]

4 Turnovers by Rutgers may have saved us.

4 Turnovers by Rutgers may have saved us.

Except for the punt return, I'll give Credit to the defense for causing them.
