Game Thread: Illinois at Rutgers

[battle]

if they were going to score, glad we have 1:08 and 2 TOs

 

[Pikeillinifan]

And going for two and missing burns us yet again.

 

[SuperMetroid]

Plenty of time to come back at least

 

[OskeeLoyalty]

I cannot believe this defense looks this bad...

 

[PopChampaign]

 

[TheFlyingIllini1317]

We've been close to blocking these kicks, you never know.

 

[Mr. Roberts]

Henry must go.

 

[Illini4Christ]

Why does it seem like every QB that we play is Michael Vick?

 

[JFGsCoffeeMug]

That 4th and 10 was brutal.

 

[FoundersClub]

Can we revisit the INT that was overturned?

 

[ChicagoIllini]

Tough loss. Really needed the refs to get that pick call correct. Should have known that, being on the road out east, it would never be called correctly.

 

[abchew2]

Defense has been a huge letdown. Offense has to go out and take it

 

[ChiefGritty]

Stop Greek Vince Young

Lamar Jacksopolous

 

[HailtotheChief]

They gotta stop em but the overturn was BS. They couldn't see the ball touch the ground. I wanna see where they say it did!

 

[aaeismacgychel]

Welp, the good news is we have a ton of time

 

[redwingillini11]

The missed XP. The missed 2 pt conversion. The stupid penalties.

 

[TheChief4Life]

And going for two and missing burns is yet again.

Except… we made one. So it’s as if we didn’t go for two.

Quit blaming two-point conversions. We’ve allowed Rutgers to do whatever they’ve wanted on offense. That’s the story here.

And penalties.

 

[MoCoMdIllini]

Watch the Onside Kick.

 

[dsg]

OK, we have 1 minute to run it up the middle.

 

[Oracle21]

I think Rutgers scored too quick. IL can still get a FG to win it

 

[illiram]

How do you overturn that call? That was the call on the field. HIs hands were under the ball. I have watched every angle and that was a catch.

 

[Coop70]

No pursuit on defense. Playing to not lose. So tired of this.

 

[Mistakenj]

Our D leaves a lot to be desired

 

[illinifan1987]

This sets up a game winning field goal. Will the Illini we know all too well show up? Here's to that not happening

 

[NashvILLe05]

All right, ladies! Time to strap on your big boy pants and win this freakin game!!
