Game Thread: Illinois vs Tennessee

[JJE]

I love staying aggressive if they have a good play lined up. That wasn’t a great one

 

[TooHot4Tots]

Kick the FG. Bad play calls on 4th

 

[TheChief4Life]

This should be 7-13. We're losing this game on the coaching battle.

I don’t think I would’ve kicked on either of our fourth down. But to each their own, I suppose.

 

[FloridaMan]

Not putting too much confidence in Olano. Concerning

 

[therealmiket86]

Not my favorite 4th down playcall

I like going for it we need touchdowns to win this. I hate the call though

 

[logjam]

That wasn't blocked well at all...

 

[Oracle21]

Olano is good. Please use him

 

[aveseaboy]

One of the better kickers in the country and we do stuff like that…

 

[kyillinifan]

Bad call. Beatty on a slant

 

[punchabove33]

it’s like we don’t have a good kicker

 

[EmeraldCityIllini]

Cute

 

[illinifan4249]

come on stop leaving points on the field. kick the FG! should be 13-7

The first kick was 50+ into the wind

 

[KBLEE]

The refs have now missed 2 personal fouls against Luke. I thought the QB was supposed to be protected.

 

[Mr. Roberts]

So I guess we are learning to live without Olano (even though we still have him).

 

[illinoistradition]

Bielema not letting Olano kick because he’s leaving? Hate thinking that but that was an odd call.

 

[Fighting I 95]

These 4th down playcalls are not it. Work a slant or an out to get some yards.

 

[Boomauer]

Something going on with Alano....one of best college kickers and not using him?

 

[krushalot2005]

Just stop with the fourth down play calling at that distance, we have an Aces kicker, use him before he is gone

 

[BoiseBaller]

Trying to be way too cute. Just kick the FG and take the points. Could be up 13-7.

 

[SummerofGeorge]

Lunney has been great or terrible calling plays today, no in between

One guy gets his block and it becomes a great play call

 

[TheChief4Life]

Bielema not letting Olano kick because he’s leaving? Hate thinking that but that was an odd call.

I was wondering that, but that doesn’t seem like his MO

 

[RML]

I might taken the field goal there, but going for it wasn't a bad decision. That specific play call might have been a little too fancy. Would have preferred a slant or quick out.

[gary?]

worst play call since the bears tried to hike the ball through a te’s legs against the packers a week ago

 

[SummerofGeorge]

Exactly what I was thinking.
