Game Thread: Illinois vs Ohio State

[jamie13197]

Thats what we get for grabbing a Purdue player. Wow, omg. Holy cow, kick my dog. My goodness. High-school crap.

 

[Second place is 1st loser]

1)How can anyone in the booth not see that he was out of bounds when he jumped and get up to the line to get that snap off. It was easy to see from my couch.

2)Our punter is not overly well versed on the rules.

 

[TheChief4Life]

The sad thing is that the defense doesn’t look “terrible “today, comparatively to how they normally can. But our offense (now special teams…) keeps setting them up with ridiculous field position.

Also, because I can only get Internet reception in between drives, I can’t read what everyone. Does Luke look as off to you guys as he looks in here?

 

[TheodoreRex]

that cant happen against teams like this

That can't happen against any team...

 

[LouHenson]

Had a moment there needed to score, not hand them another score? Just bad luck

 

[Illini4Christ]

We’re playing stiff and tight today, like we’re afraid of making a mistake. Let it happen Illini!

 

[From the cheap seats]

Complete lack of football IQ by the coaches and QB on that play. Let 25 seconds run off play clock…allowing for the review.

 

[MajorNathanMaxwellJanice]

We are not a top 25 team. Clowned by the 2 real teams we’ve played so far

Self loathing all star

 

[Fly Illini Fly!]

Isnt that on the longsnapper?

 

[altgeld88]

We are hanging and then that. Wow.

 

[BWBW]

Time to get pi**ed guys and start showing it on the field.

 

[Mr. Roberts]

OK. Now just don't get hurt.

 

[Leelnd]

I just don't see how you can overrule on that. They clearly think lifting the heel does that establish themselves in bounds. It was too close to tell if the toes were in or out. Therefore they should keep with call on field.

 

[Pikeillinifan]

Two big mistakes here, you cannot do this against the best team in the country.

Let’s at least keep this respectable guys.

 

[TheChief4Life]

And I’ll probably eat my words about the defense in a minute or two…

 

[sacraig]

No one came to play poor effort

Not sure I'd go that far. We've had some really Herculean effort (and success) by the O line. Beatty and Feagin look good. Parts of the defense look good. But Altmyer has struggled, the D line has struggled, and now the long snapper and punter.

 

[Second place is 1st loser]

We cannot keep shooting ourselves in the foot. The punter had no choice, that unforced error is all on the snapper. I can't recall seeing a knee down punt play before.

He's got to know enough to scoop it and get the punt off. He's not a second baseman.

 

[dsg]

Ok boys, it's not how many times you get knocked down. It's how many times you get back up! Get the ball back defense.

 

[Rich]

Man, I haven't been this frustrated at a student athlete since Curbelo's 2nd year

 

[skyIdub]

Well, we all knew it was going to take a near perfect game.

 

[thefalcon5]

Someone said we'd miss Lane Hansen....there you go.

Funny how important special teams players can be when they make mistakes. Such an unforgiving group to play for.

 

[WolfpackIllini]

This reffing is bs
I hope it makes our guys angry

 

[jamarvelous31]

They kept talking about how he was shoved out of bounds...the ball was in the air...no mention of the obvious missed PI?

 

[sacraig]

That is just like a TO… our second. The little things!

Not like a turnover. It is a turnover... on downs.

 

[Scoregasm]

10 yard cushions for their receivers.
