Game Thread: Illinois vs Minnesota

[Fighter of the Nightman]

2x as many penalty yards as they do passing yards.

Unbelievable. I’m thanking God we’re up two scores right now, I was kind of worried we’d go for the TD last drive and have our luck run out.

 

[zentrails]

They better not call targeting

can they call that from the booth?

 

[Route47]

yes

 

[Mr. Tibbs]

We lucked out on the no call that time

watch them throw retro active

 

[cagney1965]

Fist to the helmet would hurt like you know what as well. Surprised that Morgan felt it that it knocked him a bit loopy. Head to head I get.

 

[FloridaMan]

Targeting is helmet to helmet, no?

 

[eas23]

The yellow line was like a full yard in front of the sideline marker. He got it.

 

[ChicagoIllini]

can they call that from the booth?

Not unless a flag was thrown (which is wasn't).

 

[Pikeillinifan]

That was a first down.

 

[the juiceman cometh]

Targeting is helmet to helmet, no?

Can also be leading with shouler or forearm to opponent's helmet I believe.

Whoops. He still didn't get it.

 

[DeonThomas]

I'm guessing that it's 4th down.

 

[DReq]

They are saying that targeting requires leading with the helmet.

 

[pruman91]

+1 for the yet another Christopher Walken reference. lol

23-14 Illini......................Go Illini................

 

[FloridaMan]

Can also be leading with shouler or forearm to opponent's helmet I believe.

But not the fist

 

[Mr. Roberts]

Targeting is helmet to helmet, no?

Targeting is whatever the randomly decide it is.

 

[Mr. Tibbs]

shocked

 

[DReq]

Uh, who do you think will carry this one?? (I'm wrong)

 

[GoodePodzMelendez]

What did Bret say?

We keep getting these Anti Illini Color commentators.

 

[FloridaMan]

We keep getting these Anti Illini Color commentators.

No kidding. Jake Butt is the worst I've heard and I've heard A LOT of bad ones.

 

[Mr. Tibbs]

why are they making that kid pass ??

 

[IlliniForceOne]

I like our chances with this QB in the game up two scores.

 

[aaeismacgychel]

Great sack. Great effing sack. What is Minnesota thinking not running the ball?

 

[Ramrod2010]

No Morgan is going to be huge, obviously...
