Game Thread: Illinois vs Wisconsin

So we're going to pass every play, and have them run it at us to wear down our defense in the end? Our coaches could not be this dumb could they? Neither Chase Brown nor McCray has had a touch yet? In 6 plays?

I’ve seen all I ever need to see of Peters.

 

[IlliniForceOne]

Brandon Peters is just not a B1G quality quarterback, unfortunately. You can’t be a half second or more behind in literally every area of the game and expect to be successful.

 

[orange100]

Do we not run anymore or?

Attn: Inept Off Coordinator.....what Wisconsin is doing is what we should have done on the 1st series.....we could have run over them. I CANNOT stand playing from behind every game.

Are you telling me that you don't like throwing for -9 to 6 yards every play? That'll really open up those running lanes.

Do we not run anymore or?

Not for homecoming. Gonna electrify the crowd with some long swing passes.

 

[Bph]

Wow, our OC just decided he wanted to go the entire 1st qtr without a run attempt.

 

[Mistakenj]

If Peters comes out for the 3rd series, I’m turning the game off.

6 passes to start the game with a QB that isn't exactly looking very good. We had a RB last week go crazy and he has not touched the ball in the first 2 series. This is not a hard game. I'm guessing the coaches are trying to get Peters confidence going but he looks like a scared puppy.

He has succeeded.

2 drives, 6 plays, 3 yards

 

[SuperMetroid]

That was the single dullest quarter of football I can remember. At least this game will be over quickly

Wisconsin is the #1 Rushing Defense so far, averaging 45.2 yards/game.

 

[westcoastillini]

Wtf. Run the ball and sit Peters.

edit: I didn’t know Wisconsin rush D was so good

 

[Bph]

This program deserves a better OC.

Wisconsin deciding to pass it on 2nd and goal made me think about sitting up in my chair.

Technically Peters sack counts as a rushing attempt.

 

[KevinC]

2 drives, 6 plays, 3 yards

Well, there is always the likely possibility that we could have run the ball for even less.

 

[LoveLovie]

Kirby!!

 

[JSpence]

Wisconsin moving the ball deep into our territory in an unconventional but precise manner.

 

[Mr. Roberts]

Time of possession - 12 min to 3 min.

 

[DocMorgan]

If Peters comes out for the 3rd series, I’m turning the game off.

Have a good day.

 

[Ramrod2010]

And that's why we aren't running. Good God

Oof, they didn't factor in the DPI, Illinois's biggest play of the day.

 

[KevinC]

We ran it two straight times. How many yards did we get? Hmmm.....
