Bad Play Beatty

 

[phats22]

disappointing through 3. defense has to do something at sime point, or not

 

[rdk573]

Unfortunately, that may the stick that breaks the camel's back...

 

[BDMAN]

Have to catch that Hank we are not ready for prime time or the playoffs this game proves it

 

[kyillinifan]

Shoot in foot.

 

[Kendall Gill’s Uncle]

Can the Aaron Henry experiment finally be over?

 

[Witherspoon_illini]

What a shame

 

[Illinivek23]

Not a great decision Luke, but FFS

Should have been a catch and 1st down

You won't see Beatty miss that throw often but it could have been the dagger in this game.

Beatty HAS to catch that. It was a highly catchable ball. A WR 1 for a good team catches that and it's a first down.

 

[skyIdub]

Say what you want, but Wash defense is playing with hate and fire.

We are playing with dolls and tinker toys.

 

[hiberto]

we have butter fingers today. missed catch there and missed INT. huge swings in the game

 

[Pikeillinifan]

Should have been caught, penalty should not have been called, our season in a nutshell.

Not ready for Primetime!!! F@#k

 

[FloridaMan]

I know I should be happier with where we are as a program. But seeing this game is just so deflating. Two games in a row that we have not been ready, or even seem like we care, to take advantage of huge opportunities. I really hope BB can keep us moving forward with 4 winnable games to go. But these kind of performances are just so deflating.

Gotta catch that. Perfect throw. Don't know what to say

Yep when Hank muffs one you know you're not winning this one.

 

[Nuffievanhaven]

How many passes has just bounced off of our receivers hands today?!?! Have a week off and they forget how to catch the dam ball?!?!

 

[the juiceman cometh]

At least we can stop debating how much getting blown out vs Indiana will matter...

 

[hhoene]

My son just asked if I want to go play catch so i don't have to watch this monstrosity.
Yes son, yes I do.

 

[PNWIllini]

unless we turn this around, it will be the reason we miss the CFP with a historically good QB. thats potentially program derailing (i dont think it will be but it would be another moment where we fail to capitalize on the opportunity to take that next step as a program)

Let’s all focus on this will be the learning curve for how we can be a regular top 20 program.

 

[Mistakenj]

In fairness, the defender slamming Luke down after the play was over should have been called first

 

[HailtotheChief]

Should have been a catch and 1st down

Shouldn't have been in 3rd n 20! That was a very difficult catch being hit in the list weather

 

[NASchamp]

Afraid it’s not going to be near that close….
