Game Thread: Illinois vs Maryland

[ChiefGritty]

It's definitely not where we want it to be, but this game is far more encouraging about their play than the past two.

I'm not sure that's right. The pass pro, which had been a relative strength, has been really bad.

Apparently, I will never know what is and what isn't targeting.

Because the suspension is a stupid part of the rule and refs can't call it evenly because suspensions are too harsh.

Spot foul +15 and a play off like helmet is a much more fair way to combat that and refs will call it more evenly.

I don't get that. Get into FG range please

 

[illini80]

That had zero chance. Zero

Y’all might be amused to learn out in Seattle we’re getting thunder, wind and threat of power outage. Making for a great Illinois weather evening

WHAT A MOVE

 

[BWBW]

Chase!

 

[Ramrod2010]

I don't get that. Get into FG range please

 

[illini80]

Thank God for Chase Brown

 

[PNWIllini]

Oof. Backside blitz

 

[Fulton County Illini]

Tightend now

Pass Pro in my opinion is not our strength. Teams not feeling threatened enough to blitz has been our strength.

 

[Ramrod2010]

TE utilization please. Tried it once, try it again.

 

[illini80]

I’m not loving the play calling

 

[PNWIllini]

Our OL is not very good.

Its better than terrible but that’s about it

 

[KingWolf11]

Ford wasn't in for one of those plays

Agreed gotta run somewhere on 1st or 2nd down when you only have 5 to go

 

[Ramrod2010]

TE utilization please. Tried it once, try it again.

Well, they tried.

 

[trtl]

1st and 5 on the 7 and not a single run?

 

[Peoria Pipeline]

What are these play calls in the Red Zone.. cmon man

 

[illini80]

If only we had a player like Chase Brown for this situation.

 

[LoveLovie]

Coaching hurting the team

 

[illini80]

This is going to come back to haunt us.

 

[Fulton County Illini]

zero receiver separation is our biggest weakness

 

[trtl]

If we were going to pass three downs in a row, why did we not allow the clock to start ticking after the penalty? I assumed we were going to run once we chose not to have the clock start.
