Game Thread: Illinois vs Tennessee

[biglug58]

Their WR was lined up off sides on that last play. Anyone else noticed that? Right in front of the ref no call.

 

[FloridaMan]

Welp, there's one of the FG opportunities canceled out lol

 

[Mr. Tibbs]

why did that one ref almost signal good ?

 

[Illinisnake]

He shanked that bad, was a shank from the get go

 

[Iloveorangekoolaid]

We did it guys! A third down stop! And a missed kick to add!

 

[TheodoreRex]

Am I the only one that thought, 3rd and 11, they will get a td here..

 

[BWBW]

What a miss!

 

[Fighting I 95]

The dropped pass remains our best 3rd down defense

Its our only hope

 

[derrick6]

Announcer jinx or the reason we aren’t trying field goals?

 

[aaeismacgychel]

SEC kickers, lol.Wide Right!

 

[HereSoIDontGetFined]

Let's give some credit to the D-line though, who forced Aguilar out of the pocket to throw a less than optimal pass.

 

[LFOD]

The first one was around 50 yards into the wind, and the last one was 4th and short with a kick around 45 yards. Completely fine with going on both of them. Not a great play call though on the last one. We aren't winning trying field goals (especially on 4th and managable 2), and I doubt both are made fg's.

Agreed, Tepper ball won’t get it done today.

 

[TheChief4Life]

Now, let’s do a 3:28 TD drive!

 

[Iamgroot]

Ok we got a stop with some luck.now lets take advantage of it and go up 7 before halftime ILL lets freaking go

 

[Miles Leonard]

I guess that’s why we went for it on 4th down twice

 

[Julie Meinart]

Have to quit wasting possessions. Just kick the fg.. we would be ahead.

 

[zentrails]

The first kick was 50+ into the wind

And Tenn just proved Bret right
They are out playing us so far, but still tied, it will be HUGE if Luke can get us the lead at the half

lol. Tepper ball. PTSD

 

[Fly Illini Fly!]

This should be 7-13 with the ball going into halftime. Illinois has been the better team but way to reluctant to throw away points.

 

[TwinCityBreaker]

He literally looked to his right to see what the call should be. Guy is standing right under that upright, best possible angle. SMH

Their kicker is the same guy that missed against UGA. Olano is one of the best in the country.

 

[RML]

Oh, before I forget. Please give them the wind in the 3rd quarter, so we get it in the 4th.

Kicking a field goal on 4th and short is throwing away points.

There's little wind,.

The most important play in football is the punt.
