You saw that like apparently many fans. The guys sitting around me (not people that I even knew) and I kept saying what is with some of this play calling. How can so many fans know the situation, vibe, game scenario, etc. and the coaches don't. I know they are making decisions very quickly, but leading up to a situation they had to have experienced before, you would expect better decisions would be made. I know Iowa had a reputation for defending the goal line against the run, but Illinois was on the way to 200 yards rushing. At a minimum, lineup with TEs in a running formation and play action pass to one of then. Its a very safe play that at worst ends up with an incompletion. The defense has to respect the fake to Chase.
