Game Thread: Illinois vs Nebraska

[BWBW]

IW has not worked out so far. Don't like the play calls when he is in.

BS ref. I hope the ref didn't just change the momentum of this whole game.

 

[spillini]

Pick sucks but we should put up lots more points if we get that kind of protection all game

 

[bombayIllini]

I think the gameplan is to give the ball to NE and then on a TO, recover within their 25

 

[coryfor3]

Peters not been so good.

I would have liked to see him give it to Corbin on the sweep. Or fake hand off and pass.

Once again.....offensive play calling kills a drive.

Not sure what you wanted to happen there. Passing on 3rd and 12 a bad thing? or bringing IW in...which literally 90% of the board has been begging for? A throw deep enough that an INT doesn't really matter since you were going to punt it otherwise? Wasn't ideal, but let's be practical.

You've got a team on the ropes....you have a RB...or two....that is one block from the house on any given run.

Rod may be a fine OC...but his play calling is terrible.

We are in a Lull.

Ricky Smalling has improved immensely!

I'm not talking about one play.

I'm not talking about one play.

Neither was I.

 

[bombayIllini]

Need a time out

 

[Illinois_2_AZ]

We have to find a way to get more pressure on Martinez.

 

[BWBW]

Rats

 

[OskeeWowzer]

That was bad defense...

 

[Illwinsagain]

2 missed tackles, not good.

 

[Deleted member 4333]

There's the Illini D we all know.

 

[BWBW]

Let's get another TD!

 

[3DegreeIllini]

Stating the obvious, But must score here.

They are going to continue to be able to march down the field on long pass plays. That seems to be the only given.

 

[logjam]

That was a bad pass, but I don’t think a bad decision.

It was late. He was open, Peters didn't get to the read quick enough.

 

[AutoPoster 3000]

I’d get excited for a shootout if we had ever actually won one.

 

[foby]

First there was Rondale. Now Wan'dale. When will this dale madness end?

 

[LFOD]

Rod Smith is doing fine. Overall, the offense is doing well.
