Game Thread: Illinois vs Ohio State

[Rooftop]

Run heavy series?

Score heavy series

It didn’t look like PI on the screens here. For what it’s worth. I just need to answer now with points. Hopefully a touchdown.

Luke looks “off” (for Luke), but I felt like both passes could’ve been caught that weren’t.

Off hand around the neck pulling before the ball arrived. Trailing hand was clean and a great play though

It's official. Gus Johnson has replaced Brent Musberger as the most hated announcer of all time.

 

[Second place is 1st loser]

We're down 10-0 but I think we're playing well. Had 2 bad no calls go against us. Just get back out there, run the offense and get this back to a 1 possession game. No reason to think we're even close to out of this yet

Played well? We're getting blown off the ball on defense, our receivers can't create separation, running between the tackles pretty much isn't an option and we turned the ball over at our own 30.

Outside of that, we look good.

I just don’t know how our receivers will get any separation. The talent discrepancies are evident. Our team is great but against teams that don’t make mistakes it’s an uphill battle.

When your team is behind and you get one of these screamy guys it’s the wooooorst

 

[skyIdub]

[punchabove33]

PI not called x 2

 

[madillini4]

Holy !!!! how do you not throw a flag there. Gtfoh.

 

[FloridaMan]

That has GOT to be a hold????? WTF????

 

[aaeismacgychel]

WHERE'S THE FLAG?!?!?!?!? GOOD EFFING LORD

 

[Illiniguy13]

Unbelievable

 

[purcy51]

THAT was definitely PI!

 

[DeeAndDWill]

Another goddamn uncalled PI.

 

[The Galloping Ghost]

I mean, come on now.

 

[PasadenaIllini]

We got screwed there.

I don't think our receivers were ever going to reliably create separation man-to-man against Ohio State. We are relying on Lunney's scheme to create separation, and it's too early to see if Lunney will succeed there.

And it's not going to help if OSU is allowed to interfere with every pass with impunity.

Our D line seems overmatched, though.

 

[LFOD]

Uhh, now that was PI

 

[skyIdub]

Jfc.....gmafb. These officials have their instructions.

 

[Fly Illini Fly!]

Atrocious officials...

When you play these big brands, you basically need to beat both the team and officials.
