Apart from other things we don't do well, working the clock is tops. Have to throw controlled passes on 2nd down and worry about moving the chains. Too much time left and they'll be throwing on almost every down and clock will stop. Just make 2 FDs each possession.

Don't like our very conservative playcalling this half after the TD, but at least the defense is playing well and not allowing them to close the gap yet. Also, have no clue why every team doesn't try to block our punts - have had a ton almost blocked this year, including that last one. Not sure if it's the blocking or if Anderson takes too much time.

Gray is sloooowwwww. He'll never make it at safety. This is what conservative offense gets you Ash. Went to it too soon.

That was way too easy - can't be giving up long passes up 18 in the 4Q - safeties ought to be deep enough to prevent that.

Our receivers must be so jealous when they see the guy behind the center do that thing where he moves his arm forward and release the ball in the direction of someone running fast.

That was too easy. Not confident that Rutgers is going to win this game. They may win this close but they are an awful team.

Can we cover anybody one on one ??? 3rd and long from their red zone and 2 plays later, TD. Just terrible defense period and not close to either WR.

was going to say George is awful then he makes two good throws.


why wasn't Gio's non-fumble reviewed?

Offense will now come out and just try to burn clock and show no sense of urgency to put them away. Basically just hope we hold onto the lead until the clock hits zero.

Remember the last time we played at Illinois? Wasn’t that a game we had won then lost? Leonard leap game?

I think we've thrown the ball like 12 times all game. We've killed them with the run. Now, all of a sudden, were supposed to start throwing the ball? Come on, guys. This is what we are.

This is fvcking ridiculous we're running into an 8 man front coming down hill. Kill sucks and now he goes with Lewis. I give up. This is beyond asinine.
