Game Thread: Illinois vs Rutgers

[Fly Illini Fly!]

Ummm why did we take a TO?

Why would you let 40 seconds go off of 1:32? More than enough time to score.

I think Luke is limping, hope nothing serious.

 

[SuperMetroid]

Henderson mauling dudes on this drive

 

[CDRUSN]

Dixon on the wrecking ball run and catch, followed by Luke just killing them on the lack of contain.

 

[zentrails]

Rutgers calling a timeout here? Interesting

Let us score! LOL

 

[Oracle21]

Brandon Henderson destroying dudes on that drive!

 

[illinoistradition]

Mac did what he needed to do: he altered the punt and forced a bad one while not causing a penalty. We need that type of action vs. dumb mistakes last week.

 

[2X2L]

Here we go again. Will the broadcaster stop pronouncing it "Ellinois" please?

Go ILLini!

 

[FloridaMan]

How's that not PI? Knocked him right off the route.

No way that draw stays that available in the 2nd half, right?

I honestly don't know if they're going to want to spy him, so it actually might stay somewhat open

after witnessing the Washington game, I'm actually shocked BB isn't kneeling it going into halftime right here. That drove me nuts last week.

 

[DeeAndDWill]

Would love to roll Luke out and give option of using his legs.

More chicanery available?

 

[CDRUSN]

Come on Lunney, dig deep into your repertoire one more time. The Rutgers defense is frequently overplaying and gambling on stops, let's use that to our advantage.

 

[FloridaMan]

Naked bootleg???

 

[DeeAndDWill]

Great decision.

 

[Ramrod2010]

This is damn near a perfect half.

 

[biglug58]

This is fun!!

 

[dsg]

WIDE OPEN!!

 

[The pop of Champaign]

Incredible coaching today!

 

[aaeismacgychel]

It's really nice going up against a defense that keeps giving up 3rd and long. Much better than having that defense yourself, haha

 

[FloridaMan]

Absolute beautiful way to end the half!!! JUST EXCEPTIONAL!!!! LET's GOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!

 

[Mr. Roberts]

And I thought Feagan was open on the first TD.

 

[Ryllini]

A thing of beauty part trois

 

[zentrails]

More chicanery available?

fake to Kaden, toss to wide open Hank works for me!
