Game Thread: Illinois at Rutgers
- Status
Keeping to a field goal was huge. Now let's march it down the field and take the lead at half.
Agree but teams like Illinois don’t usually get that call
Another 3rd and 5 and we don’t bother to send a TE out as a pass option. This play calling is killing me.
I'll bet my beach front property in central Illinois that Rutgers scores before half.
3/10 for 44 isn't going to cut it. And it looked every bit like 3/10 for 44.
Feels like the Rutgers OC is keeping us in this game.
How many damn tackles are we going to miss?
The keys are in the mailbox to whoever finds it.

For YEARS our secondary just tries to hit with their shoulders instead of wrapping up, runners just bounce off for extra yardage. How has this not been fixed by coaching? It's inexcusable and loses us games.
Can’t stand Schiano but I think he had a legitimate gripe there.....I don’t think officials gave him a clear ruling that the clock would run. But with :09 running clock on 4th down he’s kinda stuck anyway

I'm guessing Rutgers is going to simplify the gameplan in the second half and start putting up points again. Not sure we'll be able to keep up, but I would be happy to be proven wrong.
Can you ship it to me or do I have to come pick it up?
Yes. I've been saying this for years. That's the way poorly coached high school teams tackle.
Sorry no deliveries!
