More boos please

 

[eas23]

Wait, that's really Casey Washington's first career touchdown?

 

[skyIdub]

That’s a perfect description of this game!

Unfortunately mom and sister are in Cover 2 on D.

 

[zentrails]

Well.....Wilcher is fast.

I wish he was a RB

 

[Da88]

Why not go for 2 there? You're going to need those points at some point.

 

[illinidarrin]

That should be a momentum changer, will it be though?

Didn’t Casey catch the PSU OT winner?

 

[illinifreak30]

Why didn’t they go for 2

In this game, long long long way to go. Anything can happen

 

[TentakilRex]

Just throw bombs!

 

[aaeismacgychel]

If Taz can make a play on the ball, that dead duck is a pick 6 instead of a DPI

 

[Pikeillinifan]

Desperately needed that sack!

It was a technically a 2 pt conversion.

 

[illinidarrin]

Get a stop right here, call TO's, and then get the ball back and score before the half.

 

[aaeismacgychel]

Finally! Johnny Newton!

 

[eas23]

How did that ball not come out? Come on

 

[RockfordIllini]

Can a football person explain to me the benefits of zone?

I understand your DBs will get beat and you will give up some plays in man, but in my experience it seems like in zone you wind up with just as many if not more plays where your DBs are left guarding dirt.

I would rather be aggressive.

 

[skyIdub]

Coverage sack. Mom and sis got mad.

 

[UCantHideYer]

Newton even held

 

[aaeismacgychel]

Can we get a stop here and go back down the field and tie this thing up?

 

[skyIdub]

Newton even held

Every play.

 

[LFOD]

I hereby decree a pick 6.

 

[walzon]

3rd and super long, I think they go for a short pass and stay in bounds and try to get the 1st
