Redbox Bowl Game Thread: Illinois vs Cal

[Retro62]

Corbin is getting squashed. Bonner and Brown need to run the ball. Put Reggie out for a swing pass and let him scoot.

 

[3DegreeIllini]

Reggie running between the tackles isn’t working. Rod Smith - try something else.

I am wondering what happened to him this year. Maybe it’s the play calling.

 

[BWBW]

Can we please score this possession?

 

[breadman]

Show them the sand!!

 

[skyIdub]

I need more Barker in my life and this game.

 

[Retro62]

Show them the sand!!

The same stuff we seem to be running in?

 

[Twangers]

Nice work Brandon. This kid is playing some good football today.

 

[Retro62]

Ugh...what a sucky call. Just let Peters run it.

 

[SuperMetroid]

Run every 1st and 2nd down

 

[SouthFLILLINI]

Rod isn't having a good day calling plays.

 

[Twangers]

Ah, Brandon needed to call TO there. That can’t be the look we wanted, with pressure from the edge and A showing.

 

[BWBW]

Perhaps a score by our defense?

Rod Smith making me lose my mind. Down by two tds we have to play with more urgency

 

[BZuppke]

Would have been a good time to try a fake punt.

 

[OskeeWowzer]

I do not understand that third down call...

@anyone?

 

[JJE]

Rod isn't having a good day calling plays.

Correction, Rod hasn't had a great year calling plays.

 

[Twangers]

That’s not the call I would have liked but that’s not on Rod Smith, that’s on Brandon. The kid needed to call TO.

 

[RedRocksIllini]

We're dominating these clowns in the punting game.

 

[Deleted member 656517]

Hobbs’s getting torched

 

[Retro62]

This is really bad defensive game calling...obvious, I know.

 

[3DegreeIllini]

Perhaps a score by our defense?

I hope the next step for this program not RELYING on defensive TDs in desperation situations every game.

 

[AutoPoster 3000]

Rod isn't having a good day calling plays.

Our second half adjustment seems to have been to keep California on-balance defensively by un-mixing the personnel and play calling.

 

[OskeeWowzer]

This is really bad defensive game calling...obvious, I know.

The problem is that I can't tell if it's a poorly called defensive game or a poorly executed game. I think the clarification matters.

 

[BWBW]

I hope the next step for this program not RELYING on defensive TDs in desperation situations every game.

Would be nice.

It's different if we have our WR's for this game.
