Game Thread: Illinois vs Iowa

[IlliniTaffy]

The one way to give Iowa a shot is to give them amazing field position via turnovers.

Just how good can our defense be?

Pick 6 time!

 

[Saturdaze]

Bielema needs to prove he can win games like this

 

[krushalot2005]

The best running back in the Big Ten and you throw the ball with your backup quarterback, cool bro…

 

[BDMAN]

Good call we are playing right into Iowa's hands with our play you cannot keep your defense into these positions and expect them to successful

 

[IlliniForceOne]

Can the defense make a monumental stand?

Wow. Dumb play by Iowa.

 

[Coop70]

SOmeone explain to me why we are not running it and run some clock.

No, that's just what they would expect us to do....

Walters may get hired as a head coach at halftime.

 

[LFOD]

I hate that offensive play call, especially with sitkowski in. Hate it.

 

[Pikeillinifan]

Not ideal, but holding them here to 3 is a huge win.

+1. Bad play calling!

 

[BDMAN]

Win there again by the defense to hold them to 3
