Game Thread: Illinois vs Purdue

[SuperMetroid]

So they are cheating then huh?

 

[Pikeillinifan]

That was unexpected.

 

[hiberto]

never ever heard this penalty before

 

[Navy_illini]

Wow

 

[aaeismacgychel]

That PI call wasn't worse than the one on Spoon, not even close. It was 50/50 and if it happened against us and was a no call I guarantee most on here would complain.

Agreed. Granted, there was no contact on either play, but the one on Witherspoon was horrendous beyond belief as not only was there no contact, it didn't even look close to contact and Witherspoon read the route

 

[the juiceman cometh]

Penalty against them the refs could easily not have called if they were conspiring against us.

 

[GoodePodzMelendez]

Delay of game?

 

[Illiniaaron]

That’s a new one

You couldn’t design a better way to kill interest in Illinois football

Win the next to home games and we win the B1G West! Proceed to !!!! the bed and then roll around in it.

League's doing their part for sure

Rarely called but they been doing it all game

 

[eas23]

Did they drop the flag after the conversation so everyone thought it was gonna be grounding?

Really going for dramatic effect here, eh.

 

[kyillinifan]

Wow

That was what I said earlier was illegal when Alex got drawn offside. You are not allowed to make pass running motion on the line. Should have been called earlier and wasn't. Refs got it right this time,

 

[JJE]

Never heard that one before. I guess we'll take it

That’s what I was talking about to the other guy earlier in the forum. The defense can move around all they want, but they can’t make the offense think that the quarterback has asked for the ball to be snapped. That’s what happened there, which is why the ball was snapped at an inopportune time. I’m not 100% positive what’s the rule really is, but it’s something like that

We need to score a TD on this drive IMO or we're in trouble

 

[Illiniaaron]

Same thing on the goal line when they called false start on Palko

Being fair I don’t believe the league has an interest in hurting us. I’m more upset by the stuff that we can, and didn’t, control.

Absolutely right !

 

[eas23]

Right call of course, but considering grounding is a spot foul that's about 30 yards and a down that went in our favor.

 

[BDMAN]

The bigger issue is we got a break, where are our heads on offense Tommy was not even ready not paying attention to the snap. The coaches do not have the players ready to play even after halftime, it has seemed disjointed since the 1st offensive series

 

[GoodePodzMelendez]

What are you doing Lunney?

 

[dbeverly26]

Absolutely nothing up front today

 

[BDMAN]

Our offense getting their butts kicked!!!
