Game Thread: Illinois vs Purdue

[aaeismacgychel]

We have got to keep our emotions under control. Do not give the refs the opportunity to throw a flag.

Great pass. Frustrating game on many levels but 3for 3 with 3 touchdowns in the red zone is a big upgrade from what we’ve been seeing.

 

[Gunner23]

This ref crew have lost control of this game...might get ugly in the 4th Q...

Hopefully our guys keep their heads and don't get baited into something big against us later.

Go for the onside kick

 

[IMPE ALL STAR]

What a response on that TD after the penalty. Let’s win this!!!!

 

[Mr. Tibbs]

now with 30 extra yards on the kickoff , do you dare try an onside ?

Agree. Very difficult to do so with the way this one has unfolded

Can we do a pop up kick?

 

[AutoPoster 3000]

I already had a gif queued up if we didn't score there

 

[eas23]

Dramatic pause after saying 2 unsportsmanlike penalties on Purdue.

 

[Tbear90]

Great Score and Answer! These officials are doing a neutrocious job of keeping these players in check and it's due to the other calls they've made during the course of the game.
Finally palcheski was drawn off sides the defensive lineman in college cannot move his hands and stomp his feet to get the offensive line in a move they keep missing calls on purpose this crew should never officiate a game in college foot.ball I wouldn't even let them officiate a high school game

 

[HailtotheChief]

Squib kick it n go get it!

[walzon]

ok officially nervous now. wind is really a factor here

 

[zentrails]

Exactly what we needed. Good on ya, offense.

Now we need the D to do their job again.

Hold 1 minute then we have the wind

 

[illinidarrin]

And that's 2 TD's in that direction against the wind, so it's not an excuse.

 

[Bbuck21]

I don't recall seeing 2 penalties like that enforced on the same play

 

[SuperMetroid]

Can we do a pop up kick?

Chip shot down inside the 10 would be nice

 

[AT6]

I wanna see PU getting hosed on a call.

 

[BDMAN]

ok officially nervous now. wind is really a factor here

Well thankfully we have it with us in this quarter

 

[eas23]

Not since you can fair catch a kickoff now. Honestly kind of a waste of 30 penalty yards.

 

[aaeismacgychel]

I’m not completely familiar with the rules, but I thought the defense is allowed to pretty much do whatever they want as far as motion goes, but they aren’t allowed to try to vocally convince people that ball has been snapped.

I thought you're allowed to shift but not allowed to take a pass-rushing action while on the line. Maybe I'm wrong. I've never seen that type of motion before while on the line of scrimmage and if that were the case where that is allowed, I'm surprised teams wouldn't constantly be doing that.

 

[JimILL75]

Teams are playing us hard, giving us the best they have. We might look bad at times but they are giving us all they have. Good times win these games. Can't expect us to blow past everyone all the time. This is what happens when you have a good time. Win the war, final score is what counts. Don't get down on us.

 

[Navy_illini]

2 dead ball fouls

 

[GoodePodzMelendez]

Can we quit shooting ourselves in both feet?
