Game Thread: Illinois vs Maryland

[KingWolf11]

Run it twice for nothing THEN try play action? Seems backwards

 

[Ramrod2010]

You don’t win friends with salad.

 

[Peoria Pipeline]

Those 3 play calls

 

[New Creation]

 

[BWBW]

Maybe our D can score.

 

[Illiniaaron]

That sucked

 

[illinoistradition]

Horrible playcalling in the red zone. What a waste of a good drive and huge penalty. That type of ending killed any momentum they had. Defense will only be able to hold up for so long.

 

[Ramrod2010]

Man, 7 was needed there.

3 was needed there.

 

[King Snake]

Wow, that’s why you don’t run it twice there. Drive all that way for zero points.

 

[Mr. Roberts]

Our receivers cannot get any separation. Same story last week.

 

[KevinC]

We get into the red zone and want to pound the ball on the ground against a 9 man front. Incredible!!!

 

[JimILL75]

Got to score, we have two TE that we can use down that close . Two runs that did nothing when we must score was not good.

We so badly want to establish the run but we just aren't getting the kind of push from the OL we need to stay ahead of the sticks. Relative to what we thought we had going into the season it's the most disappointing part of what we've seen.

USE LUKE FORD sheesh

 

[LFOD]

Defense grade A

receivers D-

 

[trtl]

Uninspiring play calling.

A lot of that is scouting and anticipating routes.
