Game Thread: Illinois vs Minnesota

[purcy51]

That was ballsy! I like it!

 

[madillini4]

watching at work, why didn’t the clock stop on that first down? Or did it?

 

[zentrails]

Not if they need TOs at the end of the 2nd

Or we convert LOL

Big Brain moment by Fleck to burn two timeouts

 

[PassingBy]

He can't kick 42 yards into the wind?

Why kick, when you can throw into the same wind.

 

[GoodePodzMelendez]

Pretty smart move by PJ. Maybe we go for it on 4th?

They have wasted 2 TO’s already.

Isiah already having a really good game, helping us erase the memory of 3 fumbles. Short term memory. I like it!

Great conversion on 4th down. Not having a great FG game is changing the complexion of our games. If we had a better FG kicker that’s 3 points and not a first down. But…

Why didn’t the clock stop after that first down?

 

[Gunner23]

Fabrizio would have been pressed to make that one. Has a hard enough time getting KOs to the end zone.

Great pickup on 4th down!!!

 

[EyeoftheIllini]

Probably been said already, IW seems focused on making his Iowa game an anomaly.

 

[Ander1345]

Tommy DeVito going from ankle injury to looking like a career game?

That's a LAD

 

[PassingBy]

Another wheel route to Chase

 

[sully]

Wow that is ballsy

damn right it was and it paid off.

PJ Fleck with the nervous gulp on the sidelines lol

 

[IlliniFaninHoosierLand]

What was the line?

I think going into the game it was Minnesota -6.5

 

[Gunner23]

Not if they need TOs at the end of the 2nd

Hopefully the game is out of reach by then...

Logically, the Fleck timeouts were somewhat clever as Pinton doesn't have all that much of a leg forcing us to go for it, but if it winds up we end up getting a TD instead and then Minnesota runs out of time trying to move the ball downfield at half, it'll make for an interesting press conference

 

[KingWolf11]

IW coming out party!!

St. Charles, now two hours from Chicago.

Based on his leg against Iowa, I'd say 45yds is probably around his limit

 

[Pikeillinifan]

10-0 good guys!

 

[DeonThomas]

Pinton!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[New Creation]

He looks so comfortable kicking back there. 10-0 good guys!
