Game Thread: Illinois at Washington

[PizzaHutParkingLot]

News flash that timeout doesn’t carry over to the second half.

Good thing we get 6 timeouts in the 2nd half now

Plus if we don't use them all we can carry them over to our next game...

 

[pruman91]

the dropped pick 6 by the Illini was a buzz killer deluxe............................

 

[illinidarrin]

I hardly ever complain about BB and his decision making, but that was complete garbage.

 

[Bleedorangeandblue44]

There's literally nothing to lose. Our biggest strength is Luke, let him have a chance. We either are going to get in FG range or we don't score. Does Bret think Luke is going to throw a pick-six? WTF, just brutal decision. If I'm a Washington fan I'm just thrilled to see Illinois run out the clock....which is how you know it's a ridiculously stupid thing to do.

I just can't believe we did that.

 

[Fly Illini Fly!]

Just don't think either Kruetz cuts it...

 

[Retro62]

I think Henry should just stay in the locker room for the second half. Let Bret call the D.

 

[Butters]

It boggles my mind how college coaching staffs can be so horrific at clock management sometimes... These are supposed to be some of the best in the business and they make decisions that 10 year old playing Madden know are stupid...

Unless there’s a hellacious cross wind preventing long FGs I don’t understand not trying to at least pass it on 3rd down with 17 seconds left. If it’s incomplete you punt who cares…not like UW has any chance to score if they get the ball back with 5 seconds left

You have to play to win on the road. That was not playing to win. Really disappointed in that half of football. Thank God for one good, time consuming drive or we're probably down 2-3 scores. Awful, awful coaching.

I cannot get over that dropped interception. I get it’s a linebacker but it hit him in the damn chest. That is so deflating for a defense that has shown zero resistance all game. Then we roll over and run out the clock with 17 seconds and 3 timeouts remaining on our 40 with the kicker we have?

 

[BrownTown]

Washington deserves to win this game as of the first half. If it wasn't for the offense, I wouldn't have any positives for this team.

 

[Fly Illini Fly!]

I would trade that pick 6 for the PI call.

 

[HailtotheChief]

Can't drop.that damn pick!

 

[CDRUSN]

Our defense was so horrible that half, we might even give up another score during the half time break.

I just checked and there is 13 mph wind in Seattle.

 

[PasadenaIllini]

Very odd coaching decision at the end of the half to pack it in while holding onto our 3 timeouts.

 

[Jimbo]

If i was a huskie fan i’d be saying thank you for that.

 

[DERV64]

Luke and the offense deserve much better than whatever Henry and the defense are doing. Leave Henry in Seattle.

 

[DeonThomas]

Turn it over in 2nd half, you lose. Win that battle!

 

[Second place is 1st loser]

Should be up 10. Smh

 

[Mistakenj]

In case I wasn’t clear: Fire Henry
