Cinematic highlights

Bowick in the portal per Werner.*
Posted by voiceofreason
|
Austin Hollins to portal as well*
Posted by UofIL6
|
Would hopefully be an indicator that we’re not losing any of the guys above him on the depth chart
Posted by OB25
|
Bowick declared*
Posted by ibdoc
|
I think it's Ashton and looks like had 4 receptions in 2025. Good luck to the kid*
Posted by ibdoc
|
What a play*
Posted by UofIL6
|
And, another. Wow*
Posted by UofIL6
|
What a fun game and two days in Nashville. *

Malachi Hood to the portal
Posted by UIHuskie Illinois LB Malachi Hood is planning on entering the Transfer Portal on Friday, according to his rep @foote_chad.
|
My guess is the coaches are much higher on the younger LBs. Hence Hayden and Hood*
Posted by illiniranger
|
No spring portal any more
Posted by jdl
|
They are certainly hyping up Grant Beerman big time*
Posted by OB25
|
Was expecting more from him the way he finished out 2024

|
Thad Ward to K State*
Posted by uofi1998
|
Not sure why every guy doesn’t enter the portal, just to field offers. I guess the risk is you get

Patterson portalling *
Posted by jdl
|
Not officially in the portal, currently giving it a 10 yard cushion.*
Posted by Flatlander
|
No surprise. Needs to drop down a level IMO*
Posted by uofi1998
|
Agree but we will have many starters and quality depth to replace*
Posted by UofIL6
|
I think Nick Hankins, the Juco kid and Reynolds could be nice replacements*
Posted by JacobRDaugherty
|
And the coaching staff is well aware. If Patterson was in line for a step up

Tennessee did not beat an FBS team with a winning record this year. And the shiftless CFP committee
Posted by ATL
|
They were unranked in the final CFP poll. Had been ranked every week prior to that*
Posted by UIHuskie
|
Well maybe slightly less shiftless but no quality wins should be disqualifying *
Posted by ATL
|
Cole Rusk to portal*
Posted by UofIL6
|
this one is odd as it was his dream to play here and there should be plenty of pt?*
Posted by Ari Gold
|
10 seats in Section 130 just opened up. He had a crew there every week*

We know what Bryce Underwood cost Michigan.

|
Olano officially announces that he’s going into the portal*
Posted by OB25
|
I'm glad he waited until after the bowl game*
Posted by Orangeillini
|
I get it works both ways, but stinks a bit that if/when he gets drafted or makes it in the pros
Posted by UofIL6
|
Some of my Terrence Shannon cards list his college as Texas Tech*
Posted by RVA
|
Ohio State should throw about $5M at him*
Posted by Herman Blume
|
Jeez. Puts a damper on things.
Posted by uofi1998
|
You always want a great kicker, but I can’t get worked up over this one*
Posted by snipes824
|
One of the Krush guys on 247 implied he is leaving because he was teased by
Posted by JacobRDaugherty
|
Werner seems to be validating this *
Posted by jdl
|
Really trying to figure out what teasing from a professor would be in reality.
Posted by OB25
|
If Olano has some bad blood for U of I, he didn’t show it in his “I’m leaving” message.
Posted by Toonces
|
That message board is such a joke. He’s leaving because of money
Posted by illini21
|
I have a tough time believing somebody offered him life changing money
Posted by uofi1998
|
He’s what, 21? $50 or $100k more would seem life changing at that age. I don’t blame him a bit.*
Posted by Herman Blume
|
Was already making $100k at Illinois*
Posted by Drippy
|
So then maybe he’s doubling that or more. Easy decision.*
Posted by Herman Blume
|
You guys are way underestimating how much these guys are making these days.*
Posted by OB25
|
How much is he making? And what is an amount too paltry to pry him away?*
Posted by Herman Blume
|
Sorry, partly made because I want to make fun Bigbop's bootlicking alter*
Posted by JacobRDaugherty
|
What does that even mean?*
Posted by jjlocke923
|
What could it mean bootlicker? What could it mean? It is one big mystery*
Posted by JacobRDaugherty
|
Hundo p*
Posted by Herman Blume
|
He is going to A & M for money*
Posted by Drippy
|
Sounds like Oklahoma might be a fit.*
Posted by Toonces
|
That is coming from someone who at least said they were in the classroom
Posted by JacobRDaugherty
|
I would buy this before a pure money reason *
Posted by uofi1998
|
Meh*
Posted by CWR10
|
#2 feels like a bit of a leap. I’m sure it’s 99% just about #1.
Posted by OB25
|
I don’t buy that a honorable mention kicker gets a crazy bag. There has to be something more.
Posted by uofi1998
|
That's about where I am. He's (at least) testing the waters, seeing what someone else will pay. *
Posted by osklister
|
I don't think any kicker is getting near seven figures. But even low six figures
Posted by gvibes
|
He was getting low six here *
Posted by ATL
|
Get paid, son. We have seemingly had wildly good luck/recruiting at the kicker spot
Posted by gvibes
|
Yeah. He’s accurate but doesn’t have an NFL standard leg.

Knowing next year is a rebuilding year, it stinks knowing we likely lost a significant close game…
Posted by uofi1998
|
Counterpoint: probably the only game he really made a difference this year is USC
Posted by meanjeans
|
Purdue as well. Him being so reliable also modified the end of game Tennessee strategy too*
Posted by JacobRDaugherty
|
I was KIDDING when I posted this, dammit
Posted by ATL
|
We’ve been spoiled. Lots of great teams out there with inexplicably shitty kickers.*

Is someone going to try to poach Lunney at some point? He just seems
Posted by gvibes

Is this satire?

Do people not think Lunney is good? Maybe I misread the room*

“Scheme” and “play calling” problems are almost always talent problens

We’ve got Tanner Heckel two years removed from 8 man football in a cast trying his ass off out there
Posted by illiniranger

He's great, but this board insanely thinks he is not*
Posted by GMAW
|
College offenses have become so homogenized that I think almost all these guys are fine
Posted by illiniranger
|
My limited engagement with Illinois football game threads finally pays off*
Posted by gvibes
|
I think Thad Ward is coming to Kstate*
Posted by KCWildcat
|
I am fine with that. He is a fine RB coach. Nothing special, nothing bad.
Posted by JacobRDaugherty
|
Maybe it’s Dustin Ward*
Posted by ATL
|
I heard it's Montgomery Ward.
Posted by osklister
|
No one should experience that again*

Me and my buddy were talking about the Littyville era on our drive back

A poll will come out... maybe we'll be in it. Top Ten will be playoff teams...

Bert named in ESPN's NFL coaching carousel article as a dark horse candidate.

Recovering from surgery *

IC, TY. He has one more season, correct?*
Posted by Warrin'_Illini

Yes. Werner says he would get drafted if he came out so theres a chance he's gone

I agree on his return. I think Xavier returns too*

Bielema mentioning the bowl record of the B1G and SEC to start his press conference was chef’s kiss*

She's alright.*
Posted by Warrin'_Illini

The older ones genuinely respect Illinois. They remember a .500 record over 25 games*
Posted by opossum jenkins
|
Yeah, they're also invested in the Browns, Bungles and Indians so the opposite of entitled.*
Posted by Warrin'_Illini
|
I know it’s been said, but I can’t say enough how amazing it is to have a team this well coached.
Posted by ibdoc

definitely beats “So Illinois”*

Hear hear. :-)
Posted by osklister

I had zero doubt we’d win when TN ran that kickoff back. It’s just wonderful*
Posted by opossum jenkins
|
When we took the 6pt lead I turned to my dad and said, “I don’t like how this sets up.”
Posted by tvillini
|
same, I said to myself they gave us too much time, we had it in the bag*
Posted by TarheelIllini
|
Told the guy next to me that Tennessee scored too soon. *
Posted by ATL

We had such a run of bad coaches leading up to Bielema
Posted by IlliniOllie

Had to watch on delay, but just awesome. That last drive was just masterful.*

Have to think a good chunk of those 10 wins came against Sisters of the Poor.

Also of our 7 losses, 4 were to teams ranked in the top 5 as of the end of the season*

This one is kinda sad: Bielema tied the Illinois program record for bowl wins (2) by a head coach.*
Posted by biclops
|
Tied for 2nd place in bowl appearances with 3*

Fun with numbers, but far easier for Bertie-Bert to get to a bowl than say, Mike White.

Think I may have seen you pre game, phil.

Yep....took me a minute to process and bybthe time Indid it was too late to acknowledge.*

Did we figure out which starter we are losing to the portal?*
Posted by Chilango
|
Not a starter but Olano*
Posted by Drippy
|
Speculation that its Olano*
Posted by OB25
|
Might as well try to get paid.*
Posted by Herman Blume

Love him but already thought he was graduating. Find the next good kicker.*

Kick off guy Osada? Any good at FG?*

What? Really?*

Oh now I see. That sucks but he gave us some great moments. Go get the bag*

Duplicate*

Even without Beatty, I really like our WR and RB rooms. Hope we can avoid attrition there.
Posted by OB25
|
Me too. But we need one more guy who can take the top off a defense*
Posted by opossum jenkins
|
gonna be interesting to see what NIL transfers we get coming in*
Posted by DanSaint

Wouldn’t expect anything of significance for those two groups.

Will Luke get drafted?*

Based on the QBs who got drafted last year, I think so. Riley Leonard,

Great call. Would be nice if him and his brother were serviceable*

Yes. He played real well*

Yeah, we even pulled him on a play and he looked to move pretty good.

Another year with Tank should help, those arms are skinny *

yup. and saves us money for other positions*

I still don’t think Henry is the answer, and there were some maddening calls
Posted by Blazer

I think we should be focusing more on Bart Miller.
Posted by illini21

He’s probably not a championship level dc. But we could do so much worse. So much*

That’s where I’m at. And Jesus Christ, look at the guys we’ve got in that back end…

Doesn’t everyone start at like $14-15M minimum from rev share now?*

Here’s the breakdown…

Silly slow handoff*

Would like at least a designed QB run if we are going to just burn their timeouts*
Posted by gvibes

Have to stay aggressive here, a FG without another 1st down is almost surely a loss*

I hope you’re wrong*

I agree*

Yep*

God dammit, this is terrible so far.*

Do not go to Feagin here*

Camera can’t overrule this *
Posted by assassin
|
yeah we all know he got it, but....*
Posted by jdl
|
Based on left foot position that's a first*
Posted by gvibes
|
Left foot is almost coming down when it crosses the plane, from side that is like 8-12 inches
Posted by gvibes
|
^trust this sleuth*
Posted by Nobster
|
We’re gonna get screwed here*
Posted by Blazer
|
Almost assuredly*
Posted by DocWalk20
|
Ref is still salty about getting humiliated by luke*
Posted by Herman Blume
|
These camera angles are ass I have no idea*
Posted by gvibes
|
yup, terrible production*
Posted by OrangeSox
|
Can we challenge that spot?*
Posted by Blazer
|
Ball should be at the 29 yard line *
Posted by meanjeans
|
Why not challenge then?*
Posted by RVA
|
Is that not review able? *
Posted by Tuscy
|
Can they not challenge that? Horrible spot. *
Posted by DocWalk20
|
wtf with that spot*
Posted by Herman Blume
|
He got it by a yard!!!!*
Posted by meanjeans
|
Altmyer seems fully prepared to sacrifice his body *
Posted by biclops
|
Damn, looked like more run to the outside on that run*
Posted by OB25
|
Big call here. What ya got Lunney?*
Posted by Ron McDon
|
I sincerely hope we’re not playing for a FG *
Posted by meanjeans
|
They have our screens sniffed out*
Posted by Mrap24
|
Bert is a fucking Adonis compared to Heipel*
Posted by Herman Blume
|
There’s a play we’ve run about 6 times where we hand it off really slowly and then run it straight
Posted by meanjeans
|
Best way for them to score *
Posted by illiniranger
|
Deron Rippey Jr commits to Duke*
Posted by Stu
|
Who’s that?*
Posted by LovetheChief
|
Someone new to hate*
Posted by Stu
|
This could be Luke’s moment. It’s perfectly constructed*
Posted by opossum jenkins
|
Huge hold in our right hand guy 21 right for a moment at right time on that
Posted by Chilango
|
Two or three blocks in the back *
Posted by assassin
|
Yep I called the one on 41 in real-time before I knew it was going so the way. *
Posted by illinibone
|
15 and 21 have to stay outside. But 21 was held*

I trust Luke*

Posted by IlliniSax05 MAJOR UPDATE: "Maybe you're not such a bad egg, Lisle-y"
|
I'd rather our O on the field going for the win than the D*
Posted by opey8
|
and put their D right back on the field *
Posted by shua
|
That was pretty well blocked*
Posted by bjl63
|
Definitely a hold in there missed *
Posted by illini
|
Now let’s have a 5 minute FG drive *
Posted by shua
|
We can do it*
Posted by opossum jenkins
|
That’s sad*
Posted by Mrap24
|
I mean, chances are they were scoring anyway, so now we have more time*
Posted by biclops
|
Yep. Let’s do this, Luke.*
Posted by DocWalk20
|
Well better than a long drive. Now we have lots of time*
Posted by bjl63
|
Got scared the second he bobbled it.*
Posted by OB25
|
Inevitable at that point*
Posted by RVA
|
oooof*
Posted by Blazer
|
That feels like a good outcome.*
Posted by opossum jenkins
|
Not the worst case scenario for sure. *
Posted by DocWalk20
|
They were gonna get 7 eventually*
Posted by ISeeDeadHawkeyes
|
Yeah*
Posted by RVA
|
Well that sucks*
Posted by JacobRDaugherty

Welp*

Unreal*

Unleash the hounds. *
Posted by assassin
|
Hounds = 3 man rush with soft coverage*
Posted by Herman Blume
|
That’s just a really good defensive play*
Posted by Mrap24
|
Would be nice to have those first half FGs we passed on*
Posted by Blazer
|
Would be nice to have more timeouts too*
Posted by Orangeillini
|
I get going for it the first time, 2nd should have been a FG*
Posted by opey8
|
Was the first one 4th and 7? If so, it should have been kicked*
Posted by WhitmansFolly
|
Yep*
Posted by DocWalk20
|
This*
Posted by UofIL6
|
Not kicking those two early FG's is going to bite us in the ass*
Posted by WhitmansFolly
|
I do not feel warm and fuzzy*
Posted by gvibes
|
Needed 7. Fuck.*
Posted by Ron McDon
|
Damn. *
Posted by WhitmansFolly
|
Lunney has been bad in the red zone today*
Posted by Blazer
|
That play was fine. Good coverage.
Posted by bjl63
|
Yes, fine with the third down call*
Posted by Blazer
|
That third down call was really smart
Posted by Chilango
|
Drain the clock and score*

Luke you are loved. *

Re: Luke you are loved. *

Re: Luke you are loved. *

|
Need something here, Barry. These next 2 plays are huge*
Posted by UofIL6
|
Shovel pass to Feagin? *
Posted by jdl
|
I love the pass protection today.*
Posted by jjlocke923
|
That TN RB is a dude*
Posted by opossum jenkins
|
He is good but a 6 man box from the 12 surely helps*
Posted by Mrap24
|
That 3rd and 15 is even more frustrating given Bert’s comment at halftime
Posted by Blazer
|
Indeed*
Posted by jjlocke923
|
At some point Bert needs to tell him no other csll*
Posted by Mrap24
|
I mean Bert has to be the one calling it at this point, right?
Posted by OB25
|
I told myself I wouldn’t care about a meaningless bowl game. But that 3rd and 15 call is testing me*
Posted by OB25
|
Alright Luke, one more for the road. *
Posted by assassin
|
Indeed*
Posted by Herman Blume
|
Bend bend bend break defense*
Posted by WhitmansFolly
|
Lets get a stop*
Posted by JacobRDaugherty
|
Or not*
Posted by JacobRDaugherty
|
3rd down, rush three, everyone open. Instant first down*
Posted by OrangeSox
|
Every fucking time*
Posted by HeatMizer
|
3rd and 15+, the Illini special*
Posted by Blazer
|
So so bad, repeatedly. Definition of insanity. *
Posted by DocWalk20
|
Had a chance to effectively end the game and did that.*
Posted by OB25
|
You realize there are still 12 minutes left, right?*
Posted by jjlocke923
|
Is that enough time for you to fuck yourself?*
Posted by Herman Blume
|
Really hate rushing 3 on 3rd and 15*
Posted by JacobRDaugherty
|
Henry is the worst DC on 3rd and long.*
Posted by voiceofreason
|
How many times in a season does rushing 3 not work before you stop doing it
Posted by Mrap24
|
Four words too many*
Posted by WhitmansFolly
|
Even a modicum of pressure on Aguilar and he crumbles
Posted by Blazer
|
He’s consistent if nothing else. *
Posted by DocWalk20
|
THREE MAN RUSH AGAIN*
Posted by OB25
|
That just can’t happen*
Posted by Mrap24
|
The Henry*
Posted by Herman Blume
|
My god Henry. *
Posted by illini
|
Sounds like Heckel is out*
Posted by opossum jenkins
|
Juice too *
Posted by jdl
|
But booo, booo on him for getting injured and stopping play *
Posted by DocWalk20
|
Maybe the uniforms had the fans confused and they thought they were playing Ole Miss*
Posted by biclops
|
Patterson was out there*
Posted by UofIL6
|
ooo
Posted by biclops
|
Seems like Aguilar shuts hits pants under pressure. So let’s try to do more of that.*
Posted by Herman Blume
|
Last quarter ever for Luke as an Illini. Let’s make it special*
Posted by UofIL6
|
Just too easy. Henry is scared of everything.*
Posted by Mrap24
|
We are gonna need more points to win this game*
Posted by Ron McDon
|
Indeed, my good man*
Posted by Mrap24
|
I think you are correct.*
Posted by Herman Blume
|
Ok Henry, make them earn it*
Posted by Mrap24
|
Lol*
Posted by WhitmansFolly
|
Feagin on that lead block. What a call. Perfectly executed*
Posted by opossum jenkins
|
Altmyer legacy drive, that was awesome*
Posted by OB25

such a dude *

|
Luuuuuuuuuuuuuke*

Heart Luke*
Posted by Blazer
|
BOOM.*
Posted by voiceofreason
|
man Luke is tough*
Posted by ECEIllinois
|
Alrighty. Gotta get 7 here*
Posted by Mrap24
|
That’ll do*
Posted by Mrap24
|
Luke’s bell got rung there. Nice throw to follow.*
Posted by voiceofreason
|
so does the winning team get to eat an emu?*
Posted by biclops
|
Laughery is pretty damn good when healthy. Would gladly ride with him and Valentine next year*
Posted by OB25
|
He seems like a 100% guy to me. Laughery, I mean*
Posted by opossum jenkins
|
Yeah, does seem to be a major drop off if he’s dinged up*
Posted by OB25
|
Made of glass unfortunately*
Posted by Blazer
|
Get the fuck out of the way, pig*
Posted by Herman Blume
|
Can’t waste a time out there*
Posted by Mrap24
|
With the ref down like that, seems like bullshit. Luke did say to the bench he couldn’t hear*
Posted by assassin
|
Don’t think I’ve ever seen that before. Just dump trucked him*
Posted by opossum jenkins
|
Stupid ref cost us 10 yards there.*
Posted by voiceofreason
|
And a timeout*
Posted by RVA
|
Lunney you idiot! burning a time out now*
Posted by Poldark "But Jesus Christ guys, not every loss is referendum on Brad Underwood"
|
Something was wrong with Luke’s helmet*
Posted by Blazer
|
Stop that super slow developing run play*
Posted by Mrap24
|
RPO isn’t working*
Posted by Blazer
|
I know we want to control clock, but let Luke sling it some*
Posted by Blazer
|
Gonna need to stay in run fits and take our chances*
Posted by opossum jenkins
|
Defense inside the 10 was great. The other 75 yards was putrid.*
Posted by Mrap24
|
Damn, first guy had him stopped, gang tackle pushed him in*
Posted by RVA
|
Yep, we pushed him in*
Posted by JacobRDaugherty
|
Him coming down on a defender helped them*
Posted by Mrap24
|
Had the play stopped *
Posted by meanjeans
|
Damn, we had him. Good 2nd effort*
Posted by Mrap24
|
Dammit, that was close.*
Posted by voiceofreason
|
I swear the number of times we give someone *exactly* enough *
Posted by meanjeans
|
Thompson back in*
Posted by Mrap24
|
They’re better off not throwing*
Posted by bjl63
|
Fuck these mouth breathing fans. That obviously wasn’t a fake injury*
Posted by OB25
|
Jack wagon TN fans booing a clear injury.*
Posted by voiceofreason
|
Thompson being out makes the center of the d-line bad quick*
Posted by OrangeSox
|
Our linebackers being 15 yards from the LOS is a wild choice*
Posted by Mrap24
|
I recommend playing with linebackers. *
Posted by assassin
|
Not sure why they haven’t been doing this all game *
Posted by biclops
|
Ok, keep them out of the end zone and the we take control*
Posted by Mrap24
|
This is the most pressure we’ve had all year*
Posted by Blazer
|
I scoffed when they listed Barna as a key impact player early in the game. I guess they knew.*
Posted by Orangeillini
|
Is Tennessee's OL all time bad or something? What is happening*
Posted by gvibes
|
Who is injured?*
Posted by Poldark "But Jesus Christ guys, not every loss is referendum on Brad Underwood"
|
James Thompson *

|
Thank you turnover fairy *
Posted by shua
|
That’s not the fairy, that’s great defense forcing one*
Posted by OB25
|
Little bit of both. Really weird choice by their QB not to just tuck and roll
Posted by Blazer
|
His pocket presence is awful.*
Posted by voiceofreason
|
YESSSSSSS*
Posted by voiceofreason
|
I’m just saying, if I was at the game, I wouldn’t be posting here.
Posted by jjlocke923
|
I loathe that condescending attitude*
Posted by JeffFrank
|
Shut the fuck up*
Posted by assassin
|
We need to stop with these low percentage throws. Wasting downs.*
Posted by voiceofreason
|
Guessing most of these are on Luke deciding to make those throws.
Posted by OB25
|
Agreed.*
Posted by voiceofreason
|
Yup. Keep the pressure on them *
Posted by meanjeans
|
2 successful runs in a row then we call 2 low percentage passes*
Posted by Mrap24
|
Feagin being the 3rd down back is odd. *
Posted by Mrap24
|
Damn, big missed opportunity there*
Posted by OB25
|
He got held*
Posted by Mrap24
|
Dear lord I hope valentine stays*
Posted by ISeeDeadHawkeyes
|
It is impossible to overstate how bad the production is on these ESPN broadcasts
Posted by Blazer
|
Was going to post the same. Missing whole plays out there.*
Posted by voiceofreason
|
And no replay on others where it matters
Posted by Blazer
|
Excellent job defense*
Posted by Mrap24
|
Good call there Henry*
Posted by Blazer
|
Maybe jacas was just holding us back *
Posted by biclops
|
It’s the little things you notice when you’re part of a conference that ESPN doesn’t have rights for
Posted by OB25
|
The whole world knows TN wanted Luke. Probably not a word.*
Posted by opossum jenkins
|
They mentioned it on the broadcast playing in the stadium *
Posted by ATL
|
You're saying Joe Barna is not our key player on defense?*
Posted by RVA
|
It's like we're hearing the TN student announcers on the audio also. :-(
Posted by osklister
|
OTOH: just win, baby.
Posted by osklister
|
TH fans in my section are doing * poorly* in the cold *
Posted by illiniranger
|
I was born into the darkness. You merely adopted it*
Posted by opossum jenkins
|
Very happy with clock management there. FG, gets the lead, only leaves 0:21. Great *
Posted by meanjeans
|
We have a real coach and a real football program*
Posted by opossum jenkins
|
Bert is fed up with Henry’s 3rd and long calls. Unprompted ricochet shot there*
Posted by OB25
|
he has to go.*
Posted by Ari Gold
|
What did he say?*
Posted by ATL
|
“We had the wrong defensive call on 3rd and 10”*
Posted by Mrap24
|
Not mad anymore. Love these guys.*
Posted by Toonces
|
I feel like if we win we won’t get much credit since TN is so depleted*
Posted by biclops
|
But no one scrolling Wikipedia in six years will remember that*
Posted by RVA
|
Meh. I would like to have another trophy for the case in the smith center *
Posted by ATL
|
Nah nobody cares *
Posted by meanjeans
|
Agreed.*
Posted by voiceofreason
|
We should be up by more.*
Posted by voiceofreason
|
Should be 13-7 for sure. Possibly 16-7. *
Posted by WhitmansFolly
|
We’ve reached the “gotta get caught up on commercial obligations” part of the broadcast*
Posted by OB25
|
At least one of those should have been DPI*
Posted by ISeeDeadHawkeyes
|
Yup, any impartial ref calls the 2nd one because both of them were close *
Posted by meanjeans
|
There was at minimum borderline PI on the 1st down play too*
Posted by OB25
|
That’s what we run out of a time out? 2 of the 3 played were awful*
Posted by Mrap24
|
Yeah both too low percentage*
Posted by bjl63
|
The one to Beatty was just a poor thrown. But a short side fade isn’t ideal*
Posted by Mrap24
|
I guess I'm out of touch with the PI rules. Huh. *
Posted by Tuscy
|
TBH I didn't have any issues with them not calling DPI in both cases
Posted by IlliniSax05 MAJOR UPDATE: "Maybe you're not such a bad egg, Lisle-y"
|
2 straight DPIs with the CB not remotely looking for the ball. Neither called. *
Posted by VIV
|
I don’t think you have to turn back for the ball in college*
Posted by Mrap24
|
I am wrong*
Posted by Mrap24
|
With shit play calls we deserve the no call*
Posted by bjl63
|
Yeah. Receivers could do more to draw contact I feel, but should both have been called*
Posted by gvibes
|
Those are so low percentage. The type you throw when you don’t trust your qb. So dumb*
Posted by John Coctostan
|
Hates the last 2 play calls*
Posted by bjl63
|
Bad call. Do you not have to play the ball in college?*
Posted by voiceofreason
|
Not a fan of that call *
Posted by biclops
|
2 consecutive fades? What’s not to love?*
Posted by Herman Blume
|
This could leave a bit too much on the clock here*
Posted by OB25
|
Underthrown*
Posted by Mrap24
|
Not sure how that isn't a PI*
Posted by gvibes
|
Never turned to play the ball *
Posted by assassin
|
He sure did*
Posted by jjlocke923
|
Now piss off
Posted by RVA
|
Gets called at least 50% of the time*
Posted by meanjeans
|
Well it wasn't on the replay ball on the first drive either*
Posted by RVA
|
Yep. Should have been called on that replay down. Can’t review it though. :-( *
Posted by ATL
|
Yep*
Posted by Herman Blume
|
Absolutely should have been called*

C’mon, refs. Ridiculous.*

C'mon, have some sportsman ship here.

Play this right and you can at least avoid the double dip. Make sure it’s no worse than a tie*
Posted by OB25
|
Love that their dirty bullshit has cost them twice already*
Posted by OB25
|
And there was a 3rd time one of their guys did the suplex style finishing tackle*
Posted by shua
|
Reputation call that they’ve earned on that one*
Posted by OB25
|
I’ll take the penalty but the refs need to start blowing their whistles when progress is stopped *
Posted by biclops
|
100% blown quite a bit earlier*
Posted by gvibes
|
lol, that was soft.*
Posted by voiceofreason
|
These announcers had no idea the whistle was blown way earlier apparently*
Posted by gvibes
|
They’ve been pretty clueless a few times already. *
Posted by DocWalk20
|
I would swear they were offsite watching on a screen.*
Posted by voiceofreason
|
Forward progress had been whistled three seconds earlier*
Posted by RVA
|
Right. Wasn’t that vicious. Was just way after the whistles. *
Posted by DocWalk20

Love the pressure we’re getting with Tomiwa and Coenen. Guys we’ll have next year*

[J Walter Weatherman] And THAT’s why you don’t kick.*

Meh, our kicker is better.*

And terrible in RPO to compound it*

Too cute*

Is the wind that bad? We have a stud kicker*

It’s a bowl game and Luke’s last game, they’re gonna go for touchdowns.
Posted by OB25
|
It’s a bowl game. Don’t settle. But call a better play*
Posted by bjl63
|
No wind at all *
Posted by ATL
|
Yeah I don’t understand.*
Posted by voiceofreason
|
Kick the FG. Dumb. Could be 13-7*
Posted by WhitmansFolly
|
I’m cool going for it but both play calls were crap*
Posted by bjl63
|
Agreed*
Posted by Herman Blume
|
That’s the play?*
Posted by Mrap24
|
1) kick the FG. 2) GTFO with that call.*
Posted by voiceofreason
|
Meh on #1. Love Olano but in a bowl game be aggressive*
Posted by bjl63
|
*sigh* *
Posted by biclops
|
Get rid of that feagin run play*
Posted by Mrap24
|
With Feagin you need to line up under center and give him a full head of steam
Posted by Blazer
|
the day we can all stop pretending Feagin is a RB will be a happy day*
Posted by OrangeSox
|
These long drives are great. Let's get points here*
Posted by UofIL6
|
Feagin just plain stinks*
Posted by Blazer
|
Altmyer stole Waglers spin move*
Posted by biclops
|
Nice, Barry8
Posted by UofIL6
|
Through 2 drives, feels like the best interior pass rush we’ve generated all season*

|
I wasn’t sure if we would see their punter today*
Posted by biclops
|
A...stop!?!?*
Posted by WhitmansFolly
|
Nice work, D*
Posted by UofIL6
|
Great job, D.*
Posted by voiceofreason
|
Good job limiting their possessions, unlike Bears game where SF had five 1st quarter possessions*
Posted by OB25
|
Had him behind the line yet fell forward for 3 yards*
Posted by Mrap24
|
They really think they are going to intimidate our guys still. Amazing.*
Posted by voiceofreason
|
Both teams seem motivated, which is great. This is a good game*
Posted by opossum jenkins
|
Their d is not exactly overwhelming either*
Posted by Herman Blume
|
I would take “not exactly overwhelming” on our side right now.*
Posted by voiceofreason
|
We will score. A lot. Will it be enough?????*
Posted by bjl63
|
The stadium there is trash, but what an awful effort by the bowl in painting the field.
Posted by voiceofreason
|
Beautiful layered pass there by Luke. Playing over the OLine buffoonery*
Posted by OrangeSox
|
The presnap penalties are helping goose up Luke’s passing yards, at least.*
Posted by Orangeillini
|
Luke is throwing strikes. Gonna miss him*

Great execution there*

Don’t pressure, don’t cover, don’t take away the run*

Honestly that wasn’t scheme, we were a step slow

This is going to be a slaughter if we don’t get some turnovers.*

There is a clear difference in speed and athleticism. Both sides of the ball. Every position*

Not crazy about those 3rd and 4th down plays*
Posted by Herman Blume
|
Throwing behind the line on 3rd and 8 is an interesting choice*
Posted by Mrap24
|
That was a poor decision to go for it with our defense.*
Posted by voiceofreason
|
Poorly call or decision on 3rd down. Give yourself a chance*

Hitting the QB in the head is OK now?

Our uniforms look blue and red on TV*

Orange in graphics look great.
