Where has this BP been all season? Awesome drive, albeit a little too fast.

 

[Illini-Rule]

Looks like good BP today. I really think pat of his problem is confidence.

Nice play calling there. I like our chances if we hold the lead going into the half.

 

[OrangeAndBlueBlooded]

Think I just saw our makeup call from the officials!

Hey, Smokin Jay woke up! Nice series of passes from BP.

I'm liking this version of BP.............

Peters 9-12 so far this game. Very good game for him thus far.

Donnie didn’t fumble the punt before half... I’m happy right now

 

[LoveLovie]

Good half!

When was the last time we had the lead going into halftime?

I’m encouraged by the offense’s first half performance. The defense needs to pick things up, particularly against the run.

Something....Something....blind squirrel and a nut. But the crow tastes good!

He found another nut.

I like the offense's 2nd quarter performance.

 

[TheChief4Life]

This game hasn’t been terrible. In fact, I feel like we’ve been the better team all game. The defense appears to be blind to some of Rutgers’ run plays though.

I think we’ll come out even better 2nd half.

That BP-IW touchdown play was just absolutely beautiful execution by all involved, including the OL and CB picking up the stunt. Bravo.

 

[Illini-Rule]

You need 14 yards so you throw a 2 yard pass?

 

[LoveLovie]

Can’t have penalties if you plan to sustain a drive.

 

[RML]

Thank goodness they're throwing. We can't stop their run game

 

[CheifKeith91]

Offense needs to get back on track. We can’t leave this to some dumb stuff at the end

 

[WeWillWhen]

Offense has stalled.

 

[TheChief4Life]

I think we’ll come out even better 2nd half.

Hmm… I didn’t quite hit on that one.
