Game Thread: Illinois vs Michigan

[InDaAZ]

What’s going on with the Lunney play calling when their top DB is out right now… should have thrown it on first or second down. Now they are expecting the throw..

Which turned into a sack. Grow some balls today Barry.

 

[SuperMetroid]

Play calling not the best so far on the important downs

 

[Fighting I 95]

We are terrible once we get into the redzone. Playcalling and execution.

 

[The Galloping Ghost]

This Michigan team is so unbelievably beatable. We simply can't blow this opportunity.

 

[JJE]

Big series here for the D. Get another stop!

Can’t be settling for field goals in a game like this….

 

[Goillinikobd]

Score should be 3+3+7 or 7+7 to nothing. Now we are one TD from being behind.

Terrible play calls from Lunney in some of these plays

Like Danielson, would like to have seen a pass on second down.

We are terrible once we get into the redzone. Playcalling and execution.

To be fair, it is more difficult to throw the ball as the field shrinks.

The other big issue is missing block assignments.

 

[Fly Illini Fly!]

Should've passed on 2nd down... especially with that matchup we got going...

 

[AutoPoster 3000]

Don’t want to get too dark too early but 6-0 midway through the first half is a textbook way to eventually lose the game on a walk-off field goal.

 

[Retro62]

Yeah, I really feel like it should be 13-0 at this point

 

[phats22]

We have a mismatch on them in the passing game. Let's exploit that.

theme for the season....i still cant fathom why we don't use this more

 

[OskeeLoyalty]

Barry needs to get it together... bad start for him. He is actively playing to Michigan's strengths with his playcalling.

To be fair, it is more difficult to throw the ball as the field shrinks.

The other big issue is missing block assignments.

Reason why i also said execution. Which is missed blocks. Yes its harder to pass but 2 stright runs up the middle into their best lineman isnt it either

 

[purcy51]

YES YES YES!!!!

 

[dsg]

BOOM!

 

[aaeismacgychel]

It’s about to be

 

[Iamgroot]

[purcy51]

NO NO NO!!!

 

[aaeismacgychel]

Nooooooooo. No no no

 

[FoundersClub]

We are doing everything in our power to keep Michigan in this game…
