Game Thread: Illinois vs Nebraska

[skyIdub]

Sigh.......

 

[bombayIllini]

We are getting GREAT at fumbling and recovering while gaining 3+ yds

 

[Illinifan533]

Way to be alert, Mr. Barker!

....and then Rod calls another pass.....

 

[the national]

Only 3 penalties so far. That’s a bright spot

 

[Hopingfor500]

The play calling is not great offensively. Trying to be too cute when they don't have to be.

 

[bombayIllini]

47 yds

We need to keep giving it to Corbin.

McCourts leg looks huge this year. He’s now boomed a few

 

[LFOD]

Big McCourt for the 3. Fear the stache

 

[Illinifan533]

...a slant call that doesn't even go past the line of scrimmage. At least McCourt is money.

 

[Twangers]

I don’t know, not the worst play design on 3rd and 7, just poorly executed.

 

[bombayIllini]

We should have got a TD

 

[SuperMetroid]

We have our kicker. But why do we keep running plays to the short side of the field so much? Drives me nuts

 

[illinoistradition]

Great to have the lead again, but 3 points won’t cut it now. Rod Smith is frustrating. Different run plays works well, so let’s switch to 3 straight passes? How about a run on 3rd and 6?

 

[Deleted member 651864]

3 passes on that last sequence??

 

[KevinC]

Stop running these 1 and 2 yard patterns. Get some heart and call a real pass play!

 

[logjam]

My supply of moral victories ran out last November so for me it's win or bust from here.

Not me, gigantic growth since last week.

 

[LFOD]

Now we're going to need another turnover. We can't stop these guys.

 

[Illwinsagain]

OK, haven't trailed...YET..., hopefully never do.

 

[Twangers]

I will question why Rod keeps running those up routes with Trevon Sidney. Nothing against the kid but to date, he has shown ZERO shifty, high end speed, shake and make people miss ability. Why run that play to that WR?

 

[IlliniReb]

We absolutely needed to have a TD

Fixed it for you

 

[IdahoIllini]

Yes but then we Illinois football’d

We call it the “cover two”. Or is it the “cover who?”

 

[logjam]

Skydub what do we need!

 

[AutoPoster 3000]

I think we're in good shape as long as we get four more turnovers.

 

[bombayIllini]

Rod,

27 pages.

Not seen that for years.

Better win this one. Your call.

 

[skyIdub]

Skydub what do we need!

Tacos?
