[TentakilRex]

Barge 2.0!

(still bummed the XP though)

Who is this Laughery (sp?) kid???????

A kid from Gibson City Melvin Sibley in Illinois. pretty talented kid with some speed. Has had some injury problems.

Guys....if they ran that same scheme...shifting three blockers over and running behind them....Love would have 100+ yards. Guaranteed.

I'll literally fight Barry Lunney Jr.

 

[zentrails]

Time to ride the young guys!! Nice series Laughery. Maybe give Olano a shot too.

can't miss extra points and keep your job.

Absolute stud out of local GCMS high school. All State-caliber sprinter and we won a recruiting battle with Iowa for him. Needs touches.

Just based on seeing the number of freshman playing last week and today: Olano’s number will get called soon. Missed FG, missed PAT, and inconsistent kickoffs is going to have Griffin losing his job.

 

[FloridaMan]

Olano just kicked off , so maybe the coaches see it finally

 

[TentakilRex]

Think our youngsters are getting raises....

 

[Cook]

Olano just kicked off , so maybe the coaches see it finally

he's been kicking off all day I believe

I think he's been kicking off all game. Definitely has a couple under his belt already.

Olano is doing a great job on kickoffs today!

Good to hear. I wondered why they were all going out the back of the end zone.

Every dollar that dude makes he’s stealing right now

 

[TheChief4Life]

There it is…. The late hit against Illinois.

 

[Ramrod2010]

Playing stupid.

 

[Marshall_Lucky]

They gonna call this late hit but not the one on Luke?

 

[FloridaMan]

And you're gonna call that one??!!! Refs man, I just can't.

 

[TentakilRex]

Now you call unnecessary roughness

 

[Pikeillinifan]

That was a terrible hold call, and I was going to say bad personal foul, but that was legit.

 

[Bleedorangeandblue44]

I didn't think a Bielema coached team would have so many dumb penalties

 

[Oskeefan]

penalties are like a silver platter, feck

 

[BDMAN]

the youth of this team is constantly rearing its ugly head

 

[Battle89]

And you're gonna call that one??!!! Refs man, I just can't.

Yeah now I’m pissed

 

[illinoistradition]

I just don’t understand what a player is supposed to do if they simultaneously start to prepare for a hit as the QB starts their slide. Do a barrel roll out of the way?

 

[Ramrod2010]

I would like a missed FG
