[QUOTE="Edh, post: 1660978, member: 748419"] I'm not complaining on the last series, although that loss of 3 first down run call made zero sense. I am clearly not a fan of the play calling. What pissed me off most was the series where we took the ball over and "ran the clock" with a couple of 1 yard runs and punted it away with 4+ minutes on the clock and expected the defense to win it for us. My theory is that you continue running the offense and try to lay a couple or three 1st downs on them and make them use their TOs. Maybe even toss in a play action pass and go for the score. You know, like go out and try to win the game. By using the middle of the field, I mean the area between the hash marks and at least 10 yards downfield. That's been a NoGo zone for the Illini for too long. [/QUOTE]
